Deep Vein Thrombosis Clinical Trials

EINSTEIN CHOICE is a phase II study designed to evaluate whether once-daily rivaroxaban in doses of 10mg or 20mg is superior to aspirin for the prevention of symptomatic recurrent DVT and/or PE in patients who have completed between six and 12 months of anticoagulant therapy. The study will include approximately ...

Background: Lower limb immobilisation, for example after an Achilles tendon rupture, is known to be a cause for DVT, partly due to blood stasis. VACOped is a weight-bearing orthosis with adjustable range of motion of the ankle which is used in our department in patients operated for Achilles tendon rupture. ...

Cancer patients who have developed blood clot in the arm that has the central venous catheter will be treated with standard of care blood thinning injection of low molecular weight heparin for 1 week and then for apixaban 5 mg twice daily for the rest of 11 weeks. Data will ...

Beyond the first 6 months of anticoagulation, patients with a first episode of unprovoked venous thromboembolism have a high risk of recurrence after stopping anticoagulations (about 10% at one year and 30% at 5 years). Extending anticoagulant therapy for an additional 18 months is associated with a major reduction of ...

Despite the substantial number of work published over the past years in different populations around the world, a fundamental gap remains in understanding whether and how genomic admixture and polymorphisms in warfarin-related pharmacogenes account for the high inter-individual dose variability observed in Caribbean Hispanic patients. In addition to being a ...

Thousands of individuals are affected by deep vein thrombosis (DVT) every year. Medical treatment is aimed at preventing extension and recurrence of the blood clot (DVT) through the use of anticoagulation medication. Compression stockings may be added for reduction of pain and swelling, but this therapy remains controversial amongst physicians. ...

PEPPER is a large pragmatic clinical trial to inform patient choice and balance risk tolerances of individuals who face decisions about different drugs and strategies for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) prevention after total hip (THA) and knee (TKA) replacement. Indeed, clinical equipoise exists to ethically support ...

When a patient has positive testing for acute VTE the radiologist interpreting the study contacts the Thrombophilia Center and the patient is immediately evaluated. Standardized information about guidelines endorsed anticoagulation therapy is provided in a uniform fashion with a standardized script for providers and a short summary table for the ...

The main objective of the study is to characterize the in vivo properties of elastographic thrombus in patients with proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT), for quantitative elastography performed at D0, D7, D30. The ability to analyze the structural properties of the thrombus should allow us to then correlate these properties ...

VTE is a leading cause of maternal death in the developed world. Suspected DVT in pregnancy is a common clinical problem faced by clinicians daily. The only validated method to exclude DVT in pregnancy requires leg vein CUS imaging. This imaging modality is costly and has limited availability (only available ...
