64 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The goal of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability or efficacy of adjunctive treatments (including rosuvastatin 20 mg daily) in combination with standard anticoagulation therapy (Factor Xa inhibitors) in patients with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The efficacy of adjunctive treatments to prevent the development of post thrombotic syndrome (PTS) after DVT will be evaluated.
The Researchers are studying whether a vascular boot warming program plus standard of care anticoagulation can be a safe and effective method to resolve Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) ±Pulmonary Embolism (PE) earlier and prevent development of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Additionally, to learn whether a more detailed imaging of the affected lower extremities will provide a more accurate and reliable method to guide treatment for this condition.
This study will evaluate the safety profile of GMI-1271 and its effect on thrombus resolution in patients with distal calf vein Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT).
The purpose of the study is to prospectively assess the prevalence of venous thrombosis in women hospitalized for Cesarean Section, vaginal delivery or extended antepartum hospitalization by using Compression ultrasound of the entire proximal venous system of the lower limb veins.

The purpose of this study is to see if a compression device on the arm where a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line has been inserted can prevent the formation of a blood clot around the PICC line.
Study hypothesis: Subcutaneous enoxaparin is more effective than subcutaneous heparin in preventing the development of DVT in the general surgical intensive care unit population. Hospitalized patients are at increased risk for the development of blood clots in the legs, known as deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Surgical patients are in a higher risk category than the general hospital population due to a number of factors including undergoing surgery and increased risk of immobility. The highest risk patients are in the surgical intensive care unit, where their surgical risks for blood clots are combined with issues such as sepsis, acquired blood clotting disorders, and increasing age, each of which are factors that contribute to the risk of blood clot development. 1. Patients who develop these blood clots (DVTs) are at risk for chronic leg swelling, pain, and in some cases, chronic ulcer development on the leg. In the worst case scenario, these blood clots can break away and migrate to the lungs where they cause a pulmonary embolism (PE), a clot in the lungs that can cause significant breathing difficulty requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation, and in some cases, death. According to recent research, DVTs account for over 200,000 patient deaths each year nationwide. 2. A large amount of data has supported the use of medication called heparin or enoxaparin in low doses to prevent these blood clots from forming while in the hospital. Both of these medications are considered standard of care for use patients considered moderate and high risk for the development of DVT. 3. While both of these medications have been shown to significantly reduce the occurrence of DVT in appropriate doses, 4. there has never been a direct comparison of the two medications in the highest-risk population of the surgical intensive care unit. Our own preliminary data suggests patients may have a lower incidence of DVTs with the use of enoxaparin versus heparin. Part of the reason for this may be the requirement for three times daily dosing of the heparin compared to once daily dosing for enoxaparin. There may also be some inherent differences in the efficacy of the medications themselves.
We propose an observational study to assess the ability of intensivists to evaluate for deep vein thrombosis using 2 point compression ultrasonography.
1. The use of LMWH following open reduction and internal fixation of ankle fractures will reduce the number of thrombi formed. 2. The rates of clinically significant DVT will be equivalent between two groups.
Evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of ActiveCare+ CECT device +/- baby dose aspirin (81 mg QD) for lowering the potential risk for bleeding and of DVT during and after THA surgery in comparison with LMWH.
Patients who have deep vein thrombosis (blood clot in the leg) will be treated in this study. The purpose of the study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of a new injectable anticoagulant (blood thinning) drug administered once each week, SanOrg34006, with the standard way of treating deep vein thrombosis. The standard treatment includes injections or infusions of an anticoagulant drug (Unfractionated Heparin or low molecular weight heparin) for about a week, followed by vitamin K antagonist (VKA) anticoagulant tablets (warfarin or acenocoumarol) which are taken by mouth. Eligible patients will be assigned to treatment with either SanOrg34006 or the combination of Unfractionated Heparin or low molecular weight heparin plus a VKA (warfarin or acenocoumarol) by random chance. Treatment will be known to both patients and their doctors.
Patients with hereditary antithrombin (AT) deficiency are at increased risk of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, particularly during certain high risk procedures. The trial is focusing on patients with confirmed hereditary antithrombin deficiency who are undergoing a surgical procedure or induced/spontaneous labor and delivery. The study will test the safety and efficacy of recombinant human antithrombin (rhAT) by infusing rhAT prior to, during and following the period of risk or surgical procedure.
Hospitalized patients are at risk of developing blood clots in the legs (Deep Vein Thrombosis or DVT), which can lead to death if those clots break off and migrate to the lungs. We know that if there is a blood clot in the large leg veins near the hips and in the thighs, treating these patients with high-doses of blood thinners reduces the risk of these deaths. It is unclear if treating blood clots in the calf with high doses of blood thinners is better than using low doses. In this study, after being diagnosed with a blood clot in the calf, patients will be treated with either low dose or high dose enoxaparin (Lovenox), a blood thinner. We will then see if low dose blood thinner has similar results as high dose blood thinner.
Purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of deep venous thrombosis after partial knee replacement.
This is an event driven Phase 3, prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint evaluation (PROBE) parallel group study in subjects with confirmed VTE. This study is designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of edoxaban and to compare the efficacy and safety of edoxaban against standard of care in pediatric subjects with confirmed VTE.
The overarching objective of the study is to determine the effectiveness of LMWH/ warfarin vs. DOAC anticoagulation for preventing recurrent VTE in cancer patients. The intervention strategy is Direct Oral AntiCoagulants (DOAC) therapy with edoxaban, apixaban, rivaroxaban, or dabigatran. The comparator is low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) alone or with warfarin. The information gained will empower cancer patients and physicians to make more informed choices about anticoagulation strategies to manage VTE.
The risk of developing a blood clot occurs in up to 60% of all critical care patients. Many times enoxaparin (or Lovenox) is given to patients who are at a higher risk of developing clots in their legs or lungs. There are two standard doses of enoxaparin that are recommended by the drug companies. These two doses have never been directly compared in trauma, general, and vascular surgery patients. The purposes of this study are: 1. to compare the development of blood clots in patients receiving 30mg twice daily of enoxaparin compared to patients receiving 40mg once daily of enoxaparin. 2. to determine if there is higher risk of bleeding complications in patients receiving 30mg twice daily of enoxaparin compared to patients receiving 40mg once daily. Patients enrolled into the study will be randomized to receive enoxaparin, 30mg twice daily or enoxaparin, 40mg once daily. Patients will then be monitored for signs and symptoms of blood clots. At the time of discharge (or before, if medically indicated), an ultrasound test will be performed to look for blood clots in the patient's legs. The investigators will compare incidence of blood clots formed between the 2 groups of patients to determine if one dose of enoxaparin relates to a lower rate of blood clots in critically ill patients. The investigators will also compare the incidence of bleeding complications between the 2 groups.
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.
Evaluation of heparin/edoxaban tosylate (DU176b) versus heparin/warfarin in preventing recurrence of blood clots in patients with acute symptomatic deep-vein blood clots in the legs and/or blood clots in the lungs.
The Bard® Denali™ Retrievable Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) study is a prospective, multi-center study which is intended to provide evidence of safety of the placement and retrieval of the Bard® Denali™ Retrievable Inferior Vena Cava Filter in subjects requiring IVC interruption to protect against pulmonary embolism (PE).
This study will evaluate if extended therapy with oral rivaroxaban can prevent blood clots in the leg and lung that can occur with patients hospitalized for acute medical illness, and compare these results with those of the standard enoxaparin dose and duration regimen. The safety of rivaroxaban will also be studied.
Electrical stimulation of the foot can increase blood flow out of the leg. This increased blood flow can prevent blood clots from forming in the leg veins. Blood clots in the leg veins can break off and form life-threatening blood clots in the lungs. Intermittent external pneumatic (air) compression of the foot is already used to increase blood flow in at risk patients. Hypothesis: Electrical stimulation of the foot increases blood flow out of the legs to the same degree as intermittent external pneumatic (air) compression of the foot.
To evaluate the trends in the incidence of venous thromboembolism, to determine the risk factors for venous thromboembolism in patients with medical and surgical illness, and to evaluate the efficacy of the anticoagulant therapy in reducing venous thromboembolism.
This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, assessor-blind, event-driven, non-inferiority program for efficacy with a study treatment duration of 3, 6 or 12 months in patients with confirmed acute symptomatic DVT without symptomatic PE (Einstein-DVT).
The purpose of this clinical research study is to assess efficacy and safety of 3 doses of apixaban 5 mg twice a day, 10 mg twice a day and 20 mg once daily versus conventional treatment with low molecular weight heparin or fondaparinux and vitamin K antagonist in the treatment of subjects with acute symptomatic deep-vein thrombosis.
The goal of this study is to fill the paucity of second line endovascular treatment for acute deep venous thrombus (DVT) by using catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) and mechanical thrombectomy (MT) as adjunctive second-line treatments for acute DVT patients who show no improvement after an initial anticoagulation trial for one week. The main questions the study aims to answer are: - Are adjunctive use of endovascular interventional treatments as second-line to DVT treatment safe and efficient? Participants will be followed with repeat US at 1 week after initial DVT to assess for response to anticoagulation treatment. If there is significant residual thrombus with minimal or no response to treatment, participants will be offered enrollment to the study in the office or inpatient setting. Enrolled participants will be randomized into control or intervention arms with 1:1 ratio. Researchers will compare follow-up Villalta and Marder scores between groups to see whether endovascular interventions are safe and efficient.
