Active clinical trials for "Venous Thromboembolism"

Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is now a leading cause of death among U.S. adults. In addition to profound respiratory and multi-organ failure, hypercoagulable states and venous thromboembolism (VTE) have been increasingly reported in patients with severe Covid-19. The aim of this study is evaluate the risk of VTE related to Covid-19 infection in a real-world community-based population.

Venous thromboembolism is a common and fatal disease closely related to cancer. The therapeutic challenge is major due to the high risk of recurrent thromboembolism and bleeding in patients with cancer. Guidelines recommend the use of low molecular-weight heparin for the treatment of Cancer-Associated venous Thromboembolism (CAT) at least for 3 to 6 months of treatment. However, recent advances through the results of several therapeutic trials such as CARAVAGGIO (NCT03045406) open the door to the use of Direct Oral AntiCoagulants (DOACs) as first-line therapy. Nevertheless, extrapolation of its results may be limited owing to a large number of inclusion and exclusion criteria, which may have selected a reduced population. The proportion of patients admitted with acute CAT who may not eligible to a trial as CARAVAGGIO is unknown.

Severe COVID-19 patients at a high risk of venous thromboembolism. We studied patients in 2 intensive care units of university hospitals in Barcelona and Badalona, Spain. We performed a cut-off screening of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) with bilateral duplex ultrasound to 230 patients.

Recent data (Srikanthan and Tran et al. JCO 2014, in press) have demonstrated that the presence of large retroperitoneal lymph node metastases on baseline staging scans (measuring >5cm in axial dimension) are associated with significantly increased risk of venous thromboembolism in patients receiving first line chemotherapy for disseminated germ cell tumours. This study, a G3 collaborative effort, aims to confirm these findings in a large multi-national validation cohort.

Occurrence of venous thromboembolism during in Vitro Fertilization (IVF) pregnancies has been reported in numerous case reports and in two small consecutive series. The incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after IVF has been claimed to be comparable to the incidence of VTE during normal pregnancy. No information exists concerning pulmonary embolism (PE). The aim is to estimate and compare the risk of both PE and VTE during the the different phases of pregnancy after IVF to that in age and period matched control women. The investigators will use the Swedish National Health Registers to estimate the risk.

This study is to define the optimal method of prophylaxis for patients with gastrectomy in Korea and the investigators hypothesized only mechanical method would be enough for preventing VTE on perioperative period.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate patients with inferior vena cava (IVC)thrombosis in terms of etiology, clinical course and prognosis during long-term follow-up. Patients with isolated lower extremity DVT, matched for age and gender, serve as controls.

The purpose of the study is to use data from a health care information database to assess the risk of venous thromboembolism (blood clots), myocardial infarction (heart attacks), and stroke among women using a transdermal contraceptive system (ORTHO EVRA) for birth control compared with women using norgestimate-containing oral contraceptives with 35 mcg ethinyl estradiol.

To perform a randomized clinical trial comparing continuing one month of treatment with heparin in patients with deep venous thrombosis to standard care using heparin for five days and oral warfarin for three months.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common and potentially fatal pathology in France. The risk of recurrence is around 5 to 7% per year. The identification of patients at risk of VTE and its prevention is a real health issue in particular. 50% of MTEV recurrences occur in the absence of a risk situation, suggesting the involvement of specific risk factors for MTEV recurrence that have not been identified to date. In the last ten years, so-called "genome-whole" or "genome wide" association (GWAS) approaches have identified new genetic risk factors for the first episode of VTE. On the other hand, no study has focused on the predictive factors of recurrence. The previous project, conducted from 2012 (NCT02904967), had as its main objective to identify new genes for susceptibility to MTEV recurrence by comparing cases of MTEV recurrence versus controls having had a single episode of MTEV. The MARTHA cohort (1,542 patients) is extremely valuable study material and is one of the few cohorts in the world with genome-wide data in the field of VTE. Follow-up could only be performed in 359 patients, 76 (21%) of whom presented with a new episode of VTE. The objective of this project is to increase the number of patients for whom the investigators will have information on recurrence / non-recurrence of VTE, by querying national registries on the vital status of patients, and possible causes of death. . These new data on the occurrence or not of a new thrombotic episode, will be confronted with the genetic data already available in all the patients in order to identify specific genetic risk factors and potentially predictive of the recurrence of MTEV.
