148 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
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.
Study objective is to determine whether there is an association between genetic variant risk scores and clinical outcomes (percent time in therapeutic range, time to reach therapeutic international normalized ratio (INR), INR ≥ 4, bleeding event, ischemic stroke, death) in participants taking warfarin for atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and/or intracardiac thrombosis.
The investigators' central hypothesis is that in patients with atrial fibrillation, anticoagulation with Apixaban reduces the rate of decline in cognitive function, when compared to Warfarin. The investigators also hypothesize that Apixaban reduces cognitive decline by reducing the rate of new cerebral infarction and cerebral microbleeds detected by cerebral MRI compared to warfarin.
This prospective, randomized, active-controlled, parallel arm study compares the safety and financial benefits of arterial thromboembolism prophylaxis with Warfarin vs. Rivaroxaban (A novel oral anticoagulant) in patients with new onset atrial fibrillation after sternotomy for cardiac operations.
This is a four-part study to evaluate the effect of multiple doses of CC-90001 on the PK, safety, and tolerability of single doses of omeprazole, midazolam, warfarin, rosuvastatin, metformin, digoxin, and nintedanib in healthy subjects. Each study part is a nonrandomized, fixed-sequence, open-label, two-period study. The study parts can be run in any order and can be, but do not have to be, run in parallel. Subjects may participate in one part only. For each part, each subject will participate as follows: * Screening (Days -21 through -2) * Baseline phase for each study period (Periods 1 and 2) * Treatment phase for each study period (Periods 1 and 2) * Follow-up telephone call
Approximately half a million Americans annually experience venous thromboembolic disease, including deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Since 2010, four new oral anticoagulants have been approved for marketing in addition to the vitamin K antagonist warfarin. Very limited head-to-head data exists comparing these treatment options, leaving patients, clinicians, and other stakeholders with little guidance for selecting the best strategy that balances recurrence reduction with risk of bleeding. In the DARE Warfarin CER Study, the researchers compare all five currently available oral anticoagulant agents for the extended treatment of DVT and PE, as well as no extended treatment. This study also aims to evaluate whether treatment heterogeneity exists for specific populations, such as older patients or those with renal dysfunction. In a secondary aim, the study will also leverage a database of linked electronic health record-insurance claims to validate diagnosis definitions and account for potential residual confounding by factors unmeasured in claims data. As the patient population includes all Medicare novel anticoagulant users and large numbers of commercially insured and Medicaid patients, the results will likely be transportable to the majority of US patients experiencing a DVT or PE. Pursuant to the objectives of the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, a study advisory committee consisting of key stakeholders will be actively involved in the study design and dissemination of results.
Warfarin is a commonly used blood thinner to treat and prevent blood clots. It is important to take the right dose of warfarin because too much can increase the risk of bleeding and too little can increase the risk of blood clots. This is why patients are closely monitored especially when they begin warfarin therapy. When clinicians prescribe warfarin, they have to consider different factors such as patient's age, body size, diet, and other medications that can interact with warfarin. Certain genes have also been found to affect warfarin dose. Individuals have variations in these genes, which can help explain why some patients need higher dose and others require less. These factors have been used to better predict a patient's warfarin dose requirement. However, these predictions were created based on Caucasian populations and they may not be accurate in predicting a safe warfarin dose if a patient is not Caucasian. This study aims to identify new genetic variation that affects warfarin dosing in Hispanic and Latino populations and try to better predict a Hispanic or Latino patient's warfarin dose requirement.
The investigators are evaluating the effect of Pradaxa in comparison to warfarin on bone turnover and bone density in men and women with atrial fibrillation.
ASSESSING THE ABILITY OF WARFARIN TREATED PATIENTS TO PREDICT THEIR INR Kathleen McNamara, James Hoehns, Matthew Witry The international normalized ratio (INR) is the accepted lab test used to measure the intensity of warfarin effect. The conventional wisdom is that patients receiving warfarin are unable to correctly determine, in the absence of an INR result, whether or not they are therapeutic at any given time. Some warfarin treated patients express that they have insight into what their INR result will be. Various patient related factors may contribute to these opinions. Our objective is to assess how accurately patients can guess their INR result before it is obtained and to describe factors which inform their opinion of what their INR will be.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate effect of multiple-dose administration of JNJ-42847922 on the single-dose pharmacokinetics of oral midazolam and single-dose pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of (R)- and (S)-warfarin after oral administration of racemic warfarin.
The purpose of this study is to assess the 2012 bioequivalence statistical criteria for warfarin, a narrow therapeutic index drug, set forth in the draft guidance issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential inhibitory effects of ceritinib on the CYP3A4- and CYP2C9-mediated metabolism of the probe drugs midazolam and warfarin, respectively, when administered simultaneously as a cocktail. The results obtained from this drug interaction study would provide guidance that would enable an update to the ceritinib labeling and ouldl help guide recommendations for administration of co-medications in future clinical trials.
Caribbean Hispanics are a population with a disproportionately high prevalence of cardio-metabolic disorders but with a limited expectation of benefits from current pharmacogenetic algorithms derived mainly in subjects of relatively pure ancestry. The investigators focus on warfarin responses to develop urgently-needed DNA-driven prescription guidelines for this population, who have arisen from European, West African and Amerindian genomic origins to produce a highly heterogeneous population. Our project combines admixture analysis and DNA-sequencing with development of more accurate rules for better predictability of warfarin dosing to immediately serve this medically underserved population.
Vitamin K-antagonists (VKA) such as warfarin are the most widely used blood thinners for irregular heart beats like atrial fibrillation. Several lines of evidence indicate, however, that these agents also cause calcification of vessels (hardening of the vessels). Vascular calcification is one of the recently revealed side-effects of warfarin therapy. We will be randomizing 66 patients to either take warfarin or a new blood thinner that works without affecting vitamin k (apixaban). Patients will undergo blood testing and a CT angiogram (non-invasive angiogram) at the beginning of the study, and then be followed for one year with quarterly visits including blood tests and given either warfarin or vitamin K. After one year, they will undergo another CT angiogram and examination and blood tests and the effect of apixaban and warfarin are tested to look at plaque and changes over time. Patients will be consented in a private room and the risks and benefits will be explained. The risks include the CT angiogram and the possibility of either remaining on warfarin therapy for another year (standard of care) or taking a medicine that doesn't require monitoring (apixaban) for one year. The CT angiograms will require some contrast and some radiation dose, which will be minimized as much as possible. A cardiologist will be present during each CT angiogram to minimize risk and ensure patient safety.
The purpose of this study is to compare edoxaban to warfarin (with enoxaparin, if needed). It will see if edoxaban prevents stroke and other blood clotting problems as well and as safely as warfarin. People with atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) might be able to join. Their doctors must plan to use shock to make their hearts beat normally. About 2200 people from different countries will join. They will have an equal chance of receiving either treatment. They are anticipated to be in the study for around 82 days. Tests will include physicals and finger-pricks. Participants will provide blood and urine samples.
Clinically relevant biomarkers for warfarin identified in this study will provide crucial leads for subsequent studies to assess their predictive value during anticoagulant therapy. This knowledge will aid stratifying risk among patients to improve therapeutic outcomes and decrease adverse drug events and associated health care costs. Collectively, these efforts will provide a critical foundation for future research using a metabolite biomarker strategy in a clinical setting to revolutionize warfarin therapy. Through its application, a real-time assessment of warfarin metabolism for each patient could lead to a truly personalized dosing strategy and improve patient safety for this life-saving drug.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of multiple doses of isavuconazole on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of warfarin after single dose administration.
Both warfarin and dabigatran have been used for stroke prophylaxis at the time of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. Although the risks of thromboembolism and bleeding with warfarin are well established, the relative risk and benefit of dabigatran in this setting are unknown. The purposes of the study are to assess the efficacy of warfarin versus dabigatran in the prevention of stroke and other systemic embolic complications before and after catheter ablation for AF, and to compare the prevalence of serious bleeding complications with the two OAC agents.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential effect of Dantonic on the steady-state pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetic of warfarin in healthy subjects and safety of the co-administration of Dantonic and warfarin.
Background: Warfarin is used as an anti-coagulant in patients at risk of developing thrombosis. It has a narrow therapeutic index necessitating close monitoring of International Normalized Ratio (INR). According to a meta-analysis, patients were in therapeutic range only 63.6% of the time. This increases the risk of bleeding or thrombosis. Various retrospective and prospective studies have looked at supplementation with phytonadione in these patients to reduce the variability of INR showing an improvement in variability. Most of these studies have only been done in a small number of patients already on warfarin therapy. This study will focus on patients newly starting warfarin therapy. Methods: This study is a prospective, randomized, controlled trial performed at James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital (JAHVA). Patients who meet criteria and sign informed consent will receive either phytonadione with warfarin or warfarin alone. Based on a power calculation for 80%, a total of 370 patients will be enrolled (185 participants in each arm). Participants will be randomized to either intervention or control. Intervention group participants will be prescribed their usual starting dose of warfarin along with 200 mcg phytonadione by mouth daily. Control group participants will be prescribed their usual starting dose of warfarin. Both groups will follow the usual standard of care. They will come in for a follow-up INR and warfarin dose titration at least once per week until therapeutic, and then as instructed up to every 6 weeks thereafter. Both groups will participate in anticoagulation clinic activities that constitute the current standard of care. Intervention will last for a total of 6 months for each participant once enrolled. Hypothesis:Participants in the intervention group being supplemented with 200mcg of phytonadione will spend more total time with a therapeutic INR than participants in the control group.
This research study will help determine how a person's genetic makeup affects their response to drugs, the ability of the body to break down drugs, and their potential to experience an interaction between drugs. The investigators are investigating the drug interactions with the commonly used anticoagulant drug called warfarin. Warfarin is used for the treatment and prevention of life-threatening abnormal blood clots such as deep vein thrombosis, heart attacks, and strokes. The investigators chose warfarin for this study because it is a commonly used drug and must be monitored closely to avoid side effects. The investigators are interested in studying whether individuals with certain genetic profiles react differently to warfarin when it is combined with other drugs. This research is being done to see if certain genetic profiles require us to adjust warfarin doses differently than is needed for the general population. Genetic profiles of subjects are determined from their participation in the Pharmacogenetics Registry study (investigator Richard Brundage, University of Minnesota). The study hypothesis is: Functionally defective CYP2C9 alleles attenuate the warfarin-fluconazole inhibitory interaction and exacerbate the warfarin-rifampin inductive interaction.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of Epanova® on the pharmacokinetic and anticoagulant activity of warfarin. The secondary objective of this study is to compare the systemic exposure of EPA and DHA following multiple-dose administration of Epanova®, a free fatty acid mixture, to Lovaza®, a mixture of fatty acid ethyl esters, under low-fat meal conditions since these products are likely to be administered to patients with cardiovascular disease who are recommended to consume low-fat meals.
GSK2118436 is an orally administered, potent and selective small molecule BRAF inhibitor that is being developed for the treatment of BRAF mutation-positive tumors. This is a 4-part study (in 4 separate cohorts of subjects) designed to examine the interaction potential of GSK2118436, either as a perpetrator (i.e., effect of GSK2118436 on warfarin; Part A) or victim (i.e., effect of other drugs on GSK2118436; Part B: ketoconazole and Part C: gemfibrozil), as well as to evaluate the single and repeat dose pharmacokinetic parameters of GSK2118436 (Part D). A sufficient number of subjects will be screened to obtain approximately 12 evaluable subjects each for Part A, Part B, Part C and Part D. Following completion of this study, subjects may continue dosing with GSK2118436 in the roll-over study, Protocol BRF114144.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the plasma concentration and pharmacodynamics effects of warfarin 5 mg, in the presence or absence of belinostat 1,000 mg/m². Pharmacokinetic evaluation of belinostat 1,000 mg/m² and metabolites in the presence of warfarin 5 mg.
The WARFARIN Study is a clinical trial designed to determine if the use of genetic information related to warfarin sensitivity can help create a dose of warfarin that will result in less hospitalizations and deaths related to warfarin.
This was a prospective, randomized, multicenter study to provide additional information on the safety and efficacy of the WATCHMAN LAA Closure Technology. The purpose of the PREVAIL study was to confirm the efficacy endpoint as demonstrated in the PROTECT AF pivotal study and to further demonstrate that the WATCHMAN LAA Closure Technology is safe and effective in subjects with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who require anticoagulation therapy for potential thrombus formation.
This open-label study evaluates the pharmacokinetics of warfarin when coadministered with albiglutide in healthy adult subjects. The primary objective is to assess the effect of albiglutide doses on the pharmacokinetics of warfarin.
Blood clots contribute to the death of at least 100,000 Americans each year. Because many of these deaths occur suddenly where treatment is impossible, the best treatment is prevention. With this grant, researchers in Missouri, New York, Utah, Illinois, and Texas are developing strategies to improve the safety and effectiveness of clot prevention by customizing a popular blood thinner (warfarin) to each person's genetic and clinical profile. They hypothesize that the use of genetics to guide warfarin therapy will reduce the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) postoperatively. They further hypothesize that using a target international normalized ratio (INR) of 1.8 is non-inferior to using a target INR of 2.5 in VTE prevention.
Warfarin is the most commonly used oral anticoagulant medicine (blood thinner). Although this medicine works well, it is difficult to know how much medicine a patient needs. Many things affect how much medicine a patient needs and doses can be very different from patient to patient. It is important for patients to get the right dose to prevent clotting or bleeding problems that can happen with this medicine if the dose is too low or too high. These problems can be life-threatening. To help find the right dose, patients on warfarin must have frequent blood tests to measure how well the medicine is working. The investigators know differences in people's genes can affect how much warfarin medicine someone needs, but they don't yet know with certainty how to use this information in making patient care decisions. The hypothesis of this study is that using a patients warfarin related genetic information incorporated into a computer algorithm to be used by a warfarin provider will lead to better warfarin management compared to usual care.
The purpose of this study is to explore how knowing genes that individuals inherit from their parents can make warfarin dosing more safe and effective. This study is being done to determine whether providing doctors with data on the genes their patients inherited and warfarin dosing recommendations based on those genes affects the costs and outcomes of care and after hospitalization for patients from different ethnic/racial backgrounds, and how physicians use this information in decision making.
