Active clinical trials for "Thrombosis"

This project addresses the role of lab markers around the time of central line placement in predicting risk of thrombosis in pediatric patients with central venous lines being placed. The project proposes an innovative way to predict higher risk of thrombosis in the pediatric population to give clinicians a valid tool to guide clinical practice for these patients.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a supraventricular arrhythmia characterized by uncoordinated and fast atrial activity, and coronary artery disease (chronic and acute coronary syndrome) is characterized by a generally atheromatous narrowing of the coronary arteries. Angioplasty is necessary to restore arterial circulation in coronary artery disease. A dual anti-aggregating therapy is then initiated in these patients in parallel with treatment of AF with anticoagulation. This triple therapy exposes the patient to an increased risk of hemorrhage. The combination of oral anticoagulation with antiplatelet inhibitor in long-term anticoagulated patients requiring stent placement has been studied in several recent trials (e.g. WOEST, PIONEER AF PCI, REDUAL PCI and AUGUSTUS). The results of these studies have formed the basis of the European recommendations of 2017 and 2020, whereby the therapeutic strategy depends on the risk of hemorrhage or ischemia. However, the hemorrhagic risk assessment factors included in the scores overlap with those for ischemic risk. It is therefore difficult to determine the predominant risk for each patient. Thus, uncertainties persist as to the optimal duration of a triple therapy and the optimal recommended dose. In this study, the investigators aim to establish an inventory of the current practices by evaluating the incidence of hemorrhagic and ischemic events in post-angioplasty in anticoagulated coronary patients in the context of atrial fibrillation.

This study evaluates the risks and experience of blood clots and bleeding in patients with blood cancers. While it is standard of care to use medications to reduce the risk of blood clots in hospitalized individuals, some patients with blood cancers have low platelet counts that can increase the concern for bleeding complications associated with these medications. At this time, the optimal management strategies for blood clots are not well known for patients with blood cancers. This pilot study evaluates additional information that could help doctors know which patients are at highest risk for blood clots.

Direct oral anticoagulants (Rivaroxaban, Apixaban and Dabigatran) are an alternative to anti-vitamin K drugs and low molecular weight heparins in many cardiovascular diseases. This new class of anticoagulants represents a particular and very promising advance: they are administered orally, their mechanism of action is rapid and direct on coagulation and their predictable pharmacological action allows for administration at fixed doses. In contrast to anti-vitamin K, there is no need for routine biological monitoring. However, their therapeutic range is narrow and there is no routine biological monitoring. Rigorous compliance is therefore necessary. In addition, there are no official validated recommendations either for the measurement of anticoagulant activity in certain emergency situations, or for the management of severe bleeding (except recently for Pradaxa®). Their correct use requires the training and involvement of health professionals as well as information and support for patients. Pharmaceutical interviews are one of the main ways in which pharmacists can ensure this security through personalized and optimal patient care. The purpose of these interviews is to: Reinforce the pharmacist's advisory, educational and preventive roles with patients; To enhance the pharmacist's expertise in the area of medication; To evaluate the patient's knowledge of his or her treatment; To assess the patient's knowledge of his or her treatment; To seek the patient's therapeutic adherence and help him or her to take ownership of his or her treatment; To evaluate, in the long term, the patient's appropriation of his or her treatment. In this way, they enable involvement with patients while providing a link between healthcare professionals, which is essential for optimal patient care. In recent years, numerous studies have been conducted on pharmaceutical interviews in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. On the other hand, few studies have been conducted in France to evaluate the clinical impact of pharmaceutical interviewing in medical services. The aim of this study is to compare patients' knowledge of direct oral anticoagulants between 2 cardiology departments offering or not a pharmaceutical interview.

Research in acute care faces many challenges, including enrollment challenges, legal limitations in data sharing, limited funding, and lack of singular ownership of the domain of acute care. To overcome some of these challenges, the Center of Acute Care of the University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands, has established a de novo data-, image- and biobank named "Acutelines". Acutelines is initiated to improve recognition and treatment of acute diseases and obtain insight in the consequences of acute diseases, including factors predicting its outcome. Thereby, Acutelines contributes to development of personalized treatment and improves prediction of patient outcomes after an acute admission.

Cancer is associated with an increased incidence of thrombosis and thromboembolic events are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in this population. The main consideration has been given to venous thromboembolic events (VTEs); arterial thrombotic events (ATEs) have more recently been recognized to precede cancer diagnosis and/or follow it as a serious complication. Thus, while plausible, the relationship between cancer and arterial thrombosis is less well established than for VTE. We sought to undertake the COMPASS-ARTeCAT (Comparison of Methods for thromboembolic risk assessment with clinical Perceptions and AwareneSS in real life patients- Arterial Cancer Associated Thrombosis) study aiming to identify the most clinically relevant clinical predictors of arterial thrombosis in ambulatory patients with specific types of cancer who are going to start or have already started anticancer treatment. This study aims to evaluate the incidence and the association between arterial thromboembolism and occult cancer. Moreover, this study will provide a risk assessment model (RAM) for arterial thrombosis applicable to cancer patients at any time after anticancer therapy initiation

Primary objective: to evaluate the predictive role of Prediction Score on the risk of developing venous thromboembolism in patients with liver cirrhosis admitted to non-surgical wards. Secondary objectives: To estimate the prevalence and incidence of venous thromboembolism in patients with liver cirrhosis admitted to non-surgical wards To calculate the prevalence in the same subset of patients of major bleeding (defined as bleeding resulting in the patient's death, a drop in hemoglobin > 2g/L, the need to transfuse > 2 units of packed red blood cells or bleeding into a critical organ/space including the intracranial, retroperitoneal, intraocular, adrenal, spinal, pericardial districts) related to the application or not of thromboprophylaxis measures (pharmacological and mechanical) Study design: The study is single center and it will be divided into two parts, a first retrospective part and a second prospective case control study. Methods: adult patients with liver cirrhosis admitted in Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology Unit of Policlinico Agostino Gemelli will be enrolled in the prospective study. For the retrospective part of the study, data about cirrhotic patients hospitalized in non-surgical departments of Policlinico Agostino Gemelli will be collected. Exclusion criteria will be hospitalization in surgical wards or intensive care units, patients with active bleeding at the time of admission, patients hospitalized for liver transplantation, anticoagulant therapy at therapeutic dosage at the time of admission for indications other than liver cirrhosis (e.g. personal history of thromboembolic events, atrial fibrillation/flutter or mechanical heart valves), contraindications to anticoagulant prophylaxis (recent or ongoing bleeding, creatinine clearance assessed by EPI-CKD method < 15 ml/min, platelet count < 50 x 10^9/L), patients hospitalized as elective regimen to perform invasive procedures that contraindicate anticoagulant prophylaxis (e.g. liver biopsy, local treatment of liver neoplasms, ligation of oesophageal varices), double antiplatelet therapy, pregnancy

Ischaemic stroke is usually due to occlusion of a cerebral artery by thrombus. However, it is often difficult to identify the source of thrombus, or to confirm thrombus as a cause of ischaemic stroke. Moreover, it is debated whether thrombosis plays any role in certain types of stroke such as lacunar stroke. In preliminary studies, the investigators have evaluated a novel clinical grade thrombus-specific radiotracer, 18F-GP1, which has a high specificity for the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor on activated platelets. The investigations have demonstrated that 18F-GP1 is highly sensitive to in vivo thrombus formation and demonstrates avid binding to thrombus associated with myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism and aortic bioprosthesis. This study will use this imaging approach to define the role and origin of thrombus in patients with ischaemic stroke, cryptogenic stroke and lacunar stroke.The investigators will also assess its added clinical value in assessing patients with ischaemic stroke.

This multi-center retrospective study collected clinical, laboratory, and CT pulmonary angiography parameters with acute pulmonary embolism patients from admission to predict adverse outcomes within 30 days after admission into hospital.
