Active clinical trials for "Venous Thromboembolism"

In the US, patients receiving warfarin therapy are rarely allowed to engage in patient self-management (PSM) which is less burdensome, less expensive, and safer than standard clinic-directed warfarin management. The long-term objective of our application is to improve the safety of ambulatory warfarin therapy through increasing the implementation of PSM.

This is a Phase 3,multicenter, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint evaluation study comparing the effect of abelacimab relative to apixaban on venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence and bleeding in patients with cancer associated VTE (ASTER)

No randomized head-to-head comparison between the individual Non-vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants (NOAC) exists. The DANNOAC-VTE study is a nationwide cluster randomized cross-over study comparing efficacy and safety of the four NOACs, edoxaban, apixaban, rivaroxaban and dabigatran for oral anticoagulation in venous thromboembolism across Danish hospitals.

This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial of an interventional strategy using the ClotTriever System to achieve and maintain vessel patency (ClotTriever Intervention Arm) versus conservative medical management using anticoagulation therapy alone (Conservative Medical Management Arm) in the treatment of subjects with symptomatic unilateral iliofemoral DVT. The study will collect data on demographics, comorbidities, details from the DVT diagnosis and treatment, and clinical outcomes through the 6-month follow up visit.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SHR-2004 in preventing venous thromboembolism after elective unilateral total knee arthroplasty

This research study is attempting to answer the question of whether 81 mg aspirin once daily is as effective as 81 mg aspirin twice daily in preventing blood clots after total joint replacement surgery.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of individual dose adjustment of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) based on the results of the thrombodynamics test (TD) in patients at extremely high risk of postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE). This is a single-center, open-label, randomized clinical study with a blinded assessor for primary efficacy outcome. Patients after elective or emergent major surgery having 10 or more Caprini scores at the baseline, who already received two subcutaneous injections of enoxaparin: 40 mg at 6-12 hours after the surgery ("key injection 1") and 40 mg at 12 hours after the previous injection ("key injection 2"), who had no VTE at the baseline, and who signed informed consent, are subjected to laboratory examination by the TD. Blood samples are taken 12 hours after the "key injection 1" and 24 hours after the "key injection 2". If one of the relevant parameters of the TD (initial velocity of clot growth rate and clot size) exceeds the set threshold, the Caprini scores are recalculated adding 3 points for "other thrombophilic state" confirmed by the thrombodynamics. The patient may be included in the study if the new sum exceeds 13 points (initial 10 scores + additional 3 scores). Within 60 hours from the surgery, the included patients are randomly allocated to one of two groups: Experimental or Control. Patients in the Control group continue to receive the standard dose of enoxaparin 40 mg every 24 hours (once daily). In the Experimental group, the dose of enoxaparin is increased to 30 mg every 12 hours (twice daily). Blood samples for TD are taken during the next two days at 24 hours after the administration of each daily dose of enoxaparin. A whole leg duplex ultrasound scan (DUS) is performed in all patients during the screening period and at 7-10 days after the surgery or in case of any suspicion for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or superficial vein thrombosis (SVT). Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is carried out in any clinical suspicion for pulmonary embolism (PE). An autopsy is performed in all dead patients. The total follow-up period is 30 days. After discharge, patients are invited to the hospital for clinical examination with DUS or interviewed by phone to identify symptomatic VTE.

Hospitalized medical patients have an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) across the continuum of care, including after hospital discharge. In the APEX Trial of hospitalized patients with acute medical illness, extended-duration post-discharge thromboprophylaxis with oral betrixaban reduced the frequency of asymptomatic proximal deep venous thrombosis (DVT), symptomatic proximal or distal DVT, symptomatic nonfatal pulmonary embolism (PE), or VTE-related death compared with short-duration enoxaparin. Obstacles to integration of these data in the hospitalized Medical Service patient population, including failure to identify at-risk patients, educational gaps in strategies for VTE prevention after discharge, and medication nonadherence, can be overcome with alert-based computerized decision support. This study is a single-center, 400-patient, randomized controlled trial of an EPIC Best Practice Advisory (BPA; alert-based computerized decision support tool) to increase prescription of extended-duration post-discharge thromboprophylaxis and decrease symptomatic VTE in high-risk patients hospitalized with medical illness. Specific Aim #1: To determine the impact of electronic alert-based CDS (EPIC Best Practice Advisory [BPA]) on prescription of extended-duration post-discharge thromboprophylaxis in high-risk patients hospitalized with medical illness who are not being prescribed any prophylactic anticoagulation for VTE prevention after discharge. Specific Aim #2: To estimate the impact of electronic alert-based CDS (EPIC BPA) on the frequency of symptomatic VTE in high-risk patients hospitalized with medical illness who are not being prescribed any prophylactic anticoagulation for VTE prevention after discharge.

The primary objective is to evaluate and compare the short-term and medicum-term effectiveness of 2 types of interventions in 2 different hospitals to improve the adequacy of hospital thromboprophylaxis among acute medical inpatients.

Consented patients undergoing elective total hip and total knee arthroplasty will be randomized to receive either aspirin alone or aspirin and rivaroxaban for prevention of venous thromboembolism.
