Active clinical trials for "Venous Thrombosis"

The objectives of this study are to establish the bioequivalence between rivaroxaban tablet 15 mg and rivaroxaban granule formulation 15 mg, and to assess the safety and tolerability of rivaroxaban 15 mg in healthy adult male subjects.

Warfarin is an anticoagulant medication that is highly effective at preventing clotting disorders but which has a narrow therapeutic window. If warfarin is under effective patients are at risk of stroke, if it is over effective patients are at risk of bleeding complications. Physicians routinely and regularly measure a blood test (called the "INR") that determines the effectiveness of warfarin and have a range of test values (the "therapeutic range") in which they try to keep the patient. By convention warfarin is taken at dinnertime, however this is the same time of day that highly variable consumption of dietary vitamin K occurs (found largely in green leafy vegetables) and vitamin K alters the effectiveness of warfarin. Given vitamin K has a very short half-life (i.e. it is only active for a short period of time after it is ingested) it may make more sense to take warfarin in the morning (when very little vitamin K is ingested) to produce a more consistent drug effect. The purpose of this study is to determine whether switching current warfarin users from evening to morning dosing decreases time spent outside the therapeutic INR range.

This is an event driven Phase 3, prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint evaluation (PROBE) parallel group study in subjects with confirmed VTE. This study is designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of edoxaban and to compare the efficacy and safety of edoxaban against standard of care in pediatric subjects with confirmed VTE.

The overarching objective of the study is to determine the effectiveness of LMWH/ warfarin vs. DOAC anticoagulation for preventing recurrent VTE in cancer patients. The intervention strategy is Direct Oral AntiCoagulants (DOAC) therapy with edoxaban, apixaban, rivaroxaban, or dabigatran. The comparator is low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) alone or with warfarin. The information gained will empower cancer patients and physicians to make more informed choices about anticoagulation strategies to manage VTE.

The purpose of this study is to investigate safety of apixaban in Japanese acute DVT/PE subjects when symptomatic DVT/PE subjects are treated with 10 mg BID apixaban for 7 days as initial therapy followed by 5 mg BID apixaban for 23 weeks as long-term therapy (total treatment period is 24 weeks)

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of two different dosages of rivaroxaban in the treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and the prevention of the occurrence and the recurrence of DVT or pulmonary embolism (PE) in Japanese patients with acute symptomatic DVT without symptomatic PE.

Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) refers to an obstruction in the trunk of the portal vein. It can extend downstream to the portal branches, or upstream to the splenic and/or the mesenteric veins. The prevalence of PVT is 10-25% and incidence is about 16% in cirrhotic patients. Recent studies demonstrate that the presence of PVT is not only an independent predictor of failure to control active variceal bleeding and prevent variceal rebleeding, but also significantly associated with increased mortality in patients with liver cirrhosis. However, in recent American Association of the Study of Liver Disease (AASLD) practice guidelines and Baveno V consensus, no treatment strategies in cirrhotic patients with PVT was clearly recommended due to the absence of randomized controlled trials.

Patients with cerebral hemorrhage (ICH) have a high risk of venous thromboembolism. Intermittent pneumatic compression combined with elastic stockings have been shown to be superior to elastic stockings alone in reducing the rate of asymptomatic deep vein thrombosis after ICH in a randomized trial (4.7% vs. 15.9%). Graduated compression stockings alone are ineffective in preventing deep vein thrombosis in patients with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. Less clear is the role of anticoagulation in the prevention of venous thromboembolism in patients with ICH because the use of anticoagulants may cause an enlargement of the hematoma. In a multicenter, randomized trial, the investigators will assess the efficacy and safety of enoxaparin in the prevention of venous thromboembolism in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Enoxaparin (40 mg once daily) or standard therapy (graduated compression stockings and/or intermittent pneumatic compression and/or early mobilization) will be given subcutaneously for not less than 10 days beginning after 72 hours from stroke onset.

The purpose of this investigation is to examine the effect of, and improve patient compliance and motivation following total knee arthroplasty; to determine the efficacy of two post-surgical exercise programs on knee pain, function, range of motion, strength, and swelling (girth); and to establish a panel of biomarkers that will allow: a) early identification of patients at risk (i.e. unable to complete post-operative treatment) and; b) predict the likelihood of a successful treatment outcome post-surgically.

The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal dose of BAY 59-7939 and to compare the safety and effectiveness of this new drug with the standard way of treatment of deep vein thrombosis (heparin infusion plus one of the vitamin K antagonists), taking into account new events of thrombosis and pulmonary embolism and bleeding risk.
