Pharmacodynamic Drug Interaction Between Warfarin and Amoxicillin-clavulanic Acid
Oral AnticoagulationDeep Venous Thrombosis2 moreSeveral case reports indicate that the use of the antibiotic combination amoxicillin and clavulanic acid (AM-CLAVAC) can interact with warfarin pharmacodynamics. However, fever per se might also be responsible of these warfarin overdose reports, as well as the use of high dose paracetamol. The aim of the present study is to determine if AM-CLAVAC can increase the pharmacodynamics of warfarin among patients at steady state Double blinded cross over controlled study vs placebo performed in 12 evaluable patients treated with warfarin with an INR target 2 to 3 and a stable INR and a stable dose.

Venous ThrombosisThis is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, assessor-blind, event-driven, non-inferiority program for efficacy with a study treatment duration of 3, 6 or 12 months in patients with confirmed acute symptomatic DVT without symptomatic PE (Einstein-DVT).
Once Daily Enoxaparin for Outpatient Treatment of Acute DVT and/or Pulmonary Embolism
Deep Vein ThrombosisPulmonary EmbolismTo investigate the efficacy and safety of once daily enoxaparin as a "bridge" to warfarin for the outpatient treatment of acute deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.
Catheter-Directed Venous Thrombolysis in Acute Iliofemoral Vein Thrombosis
Deep Vein ThrombosisDeep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a severe disease, and conventional treatment with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and warfarin is associated with some degree of long-term sequelae, i.e. post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Catheter-directed thrombolytic (CDT) therapy has been introduced worldwide the last two decades. Reports have suggested a beneficial effect of this costly treatment, but there are no randomized clinical trials documenting its short- and long-term efficacy and safety. This multi-center study will randomize patients with acute iliofemoral vein thrombosis to either conventional treatment or CDT in addition to conventional treatment. Main outcome parameters are patency rates at 6 months and prevalence of PTS at 24 months. The main short-term hypothesis is that CDT of first-time acute DVT will increase patency of the affected segments after 6 months from <50% to >80%. The main long-term hypothesis is that CDT will improve long-term functional outcome, i.e. risk of PTS after 2 years from >25% to <10%.
The Catheter Study: Central Venous Catheter Survival in Cancer Patients Using Low Molecular Weight...
Embolism and ThrombosisThe purpose of this study is to obtain an estimate of catheter survival in the setting of upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT) in patients treated with dalteparin and warfarin. Anticoagulation with dalteparin and warfarin in patients with UEDVT secondary to central venous catheters in patients with an active malignancy is an effective therapy as quantified by the success of catheter preservation. A prolonged line salvage rate without a recurrence of UEDVT will improve the management of cancer patients who develop upper extremity deep venous thrombosis in the setting of a central venous (CV) catheter.
Post-Market Celect Platinum Vena Cava Filter and Gunther Tulip Retrieval Set Study
Deep Vein ThrombosisVenous Thromboembolism1 moreThis prospective, observational, post-market study will be performed to collect patient-level data on the Celect Platinum Vena Cava Filter Sets and the Günther Tulip Vena Cava Filter Retrieval Set to confirm continued safety and performance of the devices throughout their expected lifetime and continued acceptability of the benefit:risk ratio. Additionally, the study intends to evaluate longer-term (i.e., up to 5 years) outcome data while the filter is indwelling.
Rivaroxaban vs. Warfarin in CVT Treatment
Cerebral Vein ThrombosisCerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is an uncommon venous-type of stroke tends to affect younger patients with somewhat different risk factors and much better outcome compared to arterial strokes. Anti-coagulation is the standard of treatment for patients with (CVT) initially with heparins followed by other oral blood thinners for several months. In this study, the investigators are comparing warfarin with another well-known blood thinner, rivaroxaban, which has a fixed once-daily dose with no need for monitoring in terms of clinical outcomes and complications.
CONtinuous Implantable DOppler Probe Monitoring in Renal Transplantation
Renal Artery ComplicationsRenal Vein ThrombosisINTRODUCTION Vascular complications in kidney transplantation constitute one-third of the early graft loss (EGL) that can be prevented by timely diagnosed cases. A vascular monitoring device may have a possible role in the early identification of graft hypoperfusion critical to reducing graft loss. AIM To evaluate the feasibility of an Implantable Doppler probe as a vascular monitoring device in kidney transplant patients and by obtaining the vital information, inform the protocol development of a definitive RCT. METHODS AND ANALYSIS A mixed-method research design is selected. The quantitative study will comprise a feasibility RCT (fRCT) that will compare demographical characteristics and surgical outcomes of patients that will undergo kidney transplant surgery with vascular monitoring device (intervention group, n=25) against those with standard care clinical observation (control group, n=25). Descriptive statistics will be used to summarise the results that will assess the vascular monitoring capability of implantable Doppler probe in the early postoperative period of kidney transplant patients. The results will provide estimates for surgical outcomes essential to inform the sample size calculation for the definitive study. Information related to the fluency of research methods, availability of research resources, management support, potential challenges faced during the fRCT will be compiled to generate realistic estimates of important parameters for the definitive study. The results will be following the CONSORT updated guidelines for reporting feasibility studies. Qualitative semi-structured interviews of stakeholders (n=12) recruited by purposive sampling will be conducted to explore their experiences of participating in the study, acquire suggestions regarding application of implantable Doppler probe monitoring, and the post implantation patient care. All interviews will be audio-recorded with verbatim transcription. Data will be analysed following the six-phase guide to doing thematic analysis in the NVivo software. The results will be reported in accordance with the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) checklist. IMPACT It is anticipated that this study will also elaborate on a possible role of implantable Doppler probe monitoring to improve kidney transplant patient safety, graft survival, service quality improvement, and financial savings in the NHS.
