Active clinical trials for "Thrombosis"

The primary objective is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of edoxaban (preceded by a short course of LMWH) compared with dalteparin for the prevention of the combined outcome of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) or major bleeding in subjects with VTE associated with cancer during a 12-month study period. If non-inferiority is established, LMWH/edoxaban will be compared with dalteparin for superiority.

This study is designed to assess the pathophysiology of ST by studying the main procedural and anatomical factors involved in the genesis of ST such as those related to stent and the vascular wall, as well as to the individual platelet residual reactivity.

This is a prospective, randomized, parallel design study to investigate that ticagrelor could attenuate inflammatory cell infiltration in thrombus aspirated from ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. The anticipated duration of the study is approximately 9 months, including an anticipated enrolment period of 8 months and follow-up period of 1 month. Patients within 12 hours of symptom onset were randomly assigned in a one-to-one ratio to receive ticagrelor or clopidogrel at time of STEMI diagnosis. The primary endpoint was the extent of inflammatory cell infiltration in thrombus aspirated from STEMI patients, expressed as number of total inflammatory cells per mm2 thrombus area.

The purpose of this study is to compare the novel oral anticoagulant apixaban with the standard therapy of warfarin on the size reduction or resolution of left ventricular thrombus over 3 months.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) after stopping therapy is low and acceptable in patients with a first unprovoked proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) who have completed 3 months of therapy and who have a negative D-dimer test on therapy and 1 month after stopping therapy.

The majority of bridge graft fistula with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) for hemodialysis access will develop stenosis at the venous anastomosis and eventually will fail. Aspirin have been used for many years as a prophylactic drug therapy to prevent thrombosis but good clinical evidence for its benefit is lacking. Many drugs have been used to reduce intimal hyperplasia in animal models. Until recently there has been little success in clinical trials of anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, antiplatelet, antithrombotic or calcium channel blocking drugs. Recently a major breakthrough was done by GORE when introducing the new heparin bonded PTFE graft by covalent attachment. This trial is planed to assess and compare between the GORE-TEX® PROPATEN vascular graft versus unmodified ePTFE grafts the patency and complication.

The optimal duration of oral anticoagulant treatment in patients with idiopathic venous thromboembolism is still uncertain. The present study addresses the possible role of the D-dimer test in assessing the need for continuation of anticoagulation.The study aims at assessing whether D-dimer assay may have a role in guiding the duration of anticoagulation in these patients

This study is a multicentre, international, randomized controlled trial of tranexamic acid (TXA) versus placebo and, using a partial factorial design, of a perioperative hypotension-avoidance versus hypertension-avoidance strategy.

According to the Barcelona clinic liver cancer (BCLC) staging treatment guideline, sorafenib is recommended for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) with Portal Vein Tumor Thrombosis (PVTT), but HCC with major PVTT (in the main trunk or 1st-order branches of the portal vein) did not benefit much from sorafenib in previous studies. There is no established standard treatment for HCC patients with major PVTT, the investigators conducted a randomized, phase 2 study to investigate the survival benefit of sorafenib plus Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) with Oxaliplatin and Fluorouracil versus sorafenib for Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Major Portal Vein Tumor Thrombosis.

The objective of PERFECTO is to assess the reendothelialization at 3 months after successfully CTO percutaneous intervention (PCI) with new generation drug eluting stent (DES) by OFDI analysis. Designed as a multicentric, observational and prospective study which will be conducted at University Hospital of Poitiers (France), a systematic OFDI analysis will be realized immediately after CTO-PCI and at 3 months. Known as major predictive factors of stent thrombosis, percentages of malapposition, uncovered struts and neointimal hyperplasia proliferation will be measured over the entire length of each stent implanted combining in a composite primary endpoint.
