Active clinical trials for "Venous Thromboembolism"

Cancer is the most important acquired risk factor of thromboembolisms. More than 20% of all episodes of venous thromboembolism (VT) or pulmonary thromboembolisms (PT) are cancer related. Cancer patients with VT or PT are treated with low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) during at least 3 months, but nowadays the duration of treatment is not accurately determined. The D-Dimer determination has been used like recurrence predictors after LMWH treatment suspension, but in cancer patients the useful is limited. Phospholipid-dependent microparticles could been used like recurrence predictors in cancer patients and tailored the duration of LMWH treatment for each patient.

This is a prospective, randomized vanguard trial of trauma patients admitted to the trauma surgery service at Intermountain Medical Center who are deemed to be at high risk for venous thromboembolism. Once identified and enrolled, subjects will be randomized to receive bilateral lower extremity duplex ultrasound surveillance versus no surveillance. The study will compare the two groups with regard to deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and major and clinically relevant bleeding episode rates, both during the index hospitalization and at 90 days post-discharge.

To estimate the real-world rates of recurrent Venous thromboembolism (VTE), major bleeding and all-cause mortality in patients with Cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) treated with rivaroxaban

A study to compare the risk of a major bleeding in participants who received 2 different blood thinning medications following a blood clot

Patients receiving Novel Oral Anticoagulation (NOACs) undergo diagnostic and therapeutic procedures at a rate of 10% per year. Short half-lives and rapid onset of action allow for short periods of NOAC interruption without heparin bridging. There is only minimal information on the peri-procedural usage pattern of edoxaban and the related outcome data currently available. Therefore, further real-world clinical data on the peri-procedural usage pattern of edoxaban within any diagnostic or interventional procedure in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) or venous thromboembolism (VTE) will be collected in this registry.

Among patients with a first episode of unprovoked venous thromboembolism (VTE), the contemporary one-year risk of detecting occult cancer is approximately 4% to 7%. Of these cases, 30% to 60% are missed by routine limited screening for cancer. RNA profiling of platelets is a promising, highly accurate biomarker for cancer detection, but its clinical utility in patients with unprovoked VTE is unknown. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of platelet RNA profiling in detecting occult cancer in patients with unprovoked venous thromboembolism. Secondary objectives include evaluation of other biomarkers for cancer, prediction of bleeding, and prediction of recurrent VTE.

Little is known about the current management status of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in Southwestern China. We aimed to investigate the status of anticoagulant administration in VTE in Southwestern China and assess the potential predictors of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) complicated pulmonary embolism (PE). We extracted data from YiduCloud database from December 2006 to November 2018 and performed a cross-sectional survey of VTE. The demographics, laboratory tests, and anticoagulants were collected and analyzed in the logistic regression model, classification tree and Random Forest model.

Central vascular access devices are required for home parenteral nutrition (HPN). There is few data available concerning their complications in adult HPN patients, and the potential link between venous thromboembolism and catheter infection is not well established. The aim of this prospective cohort study is to compare the incidence rate of catheter related complications among 3 types of central vascular access: peripherally inserted central catheters; tunneled catheters and port-a-cath devices, in adults patients on HPN; describe the risk factors, and identify a potential link between venous thromboembolism and infection. More than 300 patients will be consecutively enrolled and followed up from the time of catheter insertion until its removal. Venous complication (identify by an ultrasound examination if deep vein thrombosis is suspected), infection related to catheter and mechanical complications will be analyzed. The incidence of complications will be expressed per 1000 catheters-day and or as a percentage of total catheter.

The purpose of this study is to assess outpatient treatment patterns following hospitalization for venous thromboembolism (VTE). VTE is a condition that occurs when blood clot forms in the vein. This is a retrospective study (assessments on events that have already occurred) of healthcare claims from databases. The study sponsors will assess healthcare claim records of patients treated with either apixaban or warfarin. Assessment includes treatment persistence, switch, and stopping therapy, along with recurrent VTE and bleeding.

Lybrel® is an oral contraceptive that delivers low doses of levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol (90 μg/20 μg). Lybrel is taken on a continuous basis without a placebo or pill-free interval to inhibit menstrual cycle bleeding by delivering a steady level of the 2 hormones for as long as the drug is used. Lybrel was marketed in the US in July of 2007. The objective of this database case-control study is to estimate the risk of idiopathic VTE (deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism) in current users of Lybrel (ethinyl estradiol 20ug/levonorgestrel 90ug) compared to current users of other oral contraceptives containing 20μg of ethinyl estradiol.
