Active clinical trials for "Thrombosis"

The objective of the "anticoagchoice" study is to analyze the preferences of people suffering from phlebitis, in terms of anticoagulant, to improve adherence to these treatments, to adapt the medical prescriptions.

Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) has been identified as the pathogen responsible for severe acute respiratory syndrome associated with severe inflammatory syndrome and pneumonia (COVID-19). Haemostasis abnormalities have been shown to be associated with a poor prognosis in these patients with this pneumonia. In a Chinese series of 183 patients, the hemostasis balance including thrombin time, fibrinogenemia, fibrin degradation products and antithrombin III were within normal limits. Only the D-Dimer assay was positive in the whole cohort with an average rate of 0.66 µg / mL (normal <50 µg / mL). These hemostasis parameters were abnormal mainly in patients who died during their management; the levels of D-dimers and fibrin degradation products were significantly higher while the antithrombin III was reduced. The findings on the particular elevation of D-dimers in deceased patients as well as the significant increase in thrombin time were also reported in another series. Higher numbers of pulmonary embolisms have been reported in patients with severe form of SARS-COV2 (data in press). This research is based on the hypothesis that the existence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) could make it possible to screen patients at risk of pulmonary embolism and to set up a curative anticoagulation. The main objective is to describe the prevalence of deep vein thrombosis in patients hospitalized in intensive care for acute respiratory failure linked to documented SARS-COV2 pneumonia, within 24 hours of their admission.

During MeTHOS study will be collected Real World Data the clinical practice regarding Thromboprophylaxis in high thrombotic risk solid tumors patients undergoing surgical and /or chemotherapeutical treatment, for one year following the protocol initiation date. Specifically focus will be on the following: Number of thrombotic events Anti-thrombotic management dosage & duration Any bleedings related to anticoagulation Patients' adherence and compliance

This is a prospective chart study that will aim to assess objective data on compliance levels to low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) injections among pregnant and postnatal women undergoing VTE thromboprophylaxis treatment at Cork University Maternity Hospital. This is a study that will help shine light on accurate data for compliance and possible factors affecting it, which will be useful for more individualised treatment plans for future patients. Patients at higher risk of Venous thromboembolism undergoing VTE thromboprophylaxis will be invited to participate in the study. Once the patient reads the information leaflet and signs consent, data will then be collected from the patients medical record. The patient will be given a smart sharps bin with an individual, unique product code. This device will be provided by HealthBeacon, a Dublin based start-up company. The device will be personalised with the treatment schedule pre-loaded onto it. When a used LMWH injection is disposed into the smart sharps bin, an infrared sensor is activated. The system captures an image of the injection in the chamber before moving it to the normal 'sharps' container of the bin for disposal. The captured image is time-stamped and sent to HealthBeacon's electronic database. HealthBeacon will only have the data pertaining to the disposal of injections for each sharps bin (i.e. the timing of the disposal of each used injection in each pre-coded bin). We are blinded to the compliance information and will only will receive the raw Data once treatment is completed. Data will be analysed to determine compliance of LMWH injections. This study will enable us to have a better insight on accurate compliance rates for LMWH injections in pregnant women at higher risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Understanding compliance with LMWH injections and the factors which can affect it, will hopefully guide future information and education that we offer to patients who are prescribed LMWH injections and help decrease maternal mortality rates in future.

This clinical trial is destinated to evaluate if the periodic screening for deep venous thrombosis by ultrasound of lower extremity in patients with intensive care unit (ICU) patients with COVID 19 impacts on mortality, ICU stay and total lenght of stay in the hospital, along with other outcomes.

Autoimmune diseases are diseases in which inappropriate immune responses that have the capability of harming host cells play an important role. Evidence suggests that the presence of certain autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or systematic lupus erythematosus increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, this evidence is inconsistent for autoimmune disorders and no systematic approach has been previously used to study the relationship between a range of common autoimmune disorders and specific forms of cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, intracerebral and subarachnoid haemorrhage, or venous thrombosis. The investigators will use linked electronic health records to investigate whether commonly diagnosed autoimmune disorders are associated with increased risk of CVD development and whether effects differ in men and women and change with age.

Knee prothesis surgery is responsible of a risk of thrombosis and hemorrhage. To prevent thrombosis, patients have systematic anticoagulation after surgery which are responsible of hemorrhage. A local glue which improve local coagulation and have no impact of thrombosis can be a solution to limit hemorrhage. The purpose of this trial is to study the impact of a biological glue administration on the bleeding loss at five days after a total knee prosthesis surgery operation.

The investigators aimed to use pharmacogenetic information in clinical practise which may lead to rapid, efficient, and safe warfarin dosing in this observational prospective study. In this context, the investigators plan to develop an algorithm for estimating the appropriate warfarin dose that is based on both clinical and genetic data from the Turkish study population. This study is unique not only investigating clinical factors, demographic variables, CYP2C9, and VKORC1 gene variations which contribute to the variability among patients in dose requirements for warfarin but also including thrombogenic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the same patient population. Thus, warfarin would be a good example by being the first cardiovascular drug for pharmacogenetic guided "personalized medicine" applications.

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), a viral respiratory illness caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), has been associated with the occurrence of cardiovascular adverse events including acute myocardial injury, acute heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias, and thromboembolic disease. These complications represent an important issue in COVID-19 patients accounting for the increased morbidity and mortality of this syndrome. According to a scoping review, venous thromboembolism and stroke occurred in approximately 20% and 3% of patients, respectively, with higher frequency observed in severely ill patients admitted to intensive care units. Despite the use of pharmacological thromboprophylaxis, the thrombotic risk still remained elevated in severe COVID-19 patients, and the optimal doses and timing of anticoagulation are not yet defined. The pathogenesis of COVID-19 associated thrombosis recognizes a prominent role of endothelial damage induced by both direct viral injury and an excessive and aberrant hyper-inflammatory host immune response associated to an increase in infection-related cytokines and chemokines. The occurrence of a hypercoagulable state in COVID-19 patients associated to a profound endothelial cell activation/dysfunction can result in the pathological phenomenon of immunothrombosis. In this study, in a prospective cohort of consecutive COVID-19 hospitalized patients, an extensive characterization of the hemostatic alterations were performed, in order to: 1) clarify mechanisms underlying the coagulopathy in these patients; 2) how and to what extent the concomitant infection with SARS-CoV-2 affect this coagulopathy; and 3) identify biomarkers potentially predictive of disease outcome (i.e. any thrombotic recurrence and death).

The main objective of this single arm study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the AXS Infinity LS (Stryker, Freemont, CA, USA) and AXS Infinity LS Plus (Stryker, Freemont, CA, USA) catheters during the transradial approach through a secondary use of the data collected during neurointerventional procedures. This includes evaluating the conversion rates to a transfemoral approach. A secondary aim of the study is to assess the radial artery occlusion rates post procedure.
