NCT05300139
The ULTREC research project is designed to assess the safety of a negative strategy relying on Colour Doppler Ultrasound (CDUS) for excluding the diagnosis of a new thrombosis. The ULTREC project does not take into account the validity of the CDUS positive criteria used to confirm the diagnosis of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) recurrence. The risk of considering only the negative strategy is to ignore the possibility of having an improvement in sensitivity and negative predictive value at the expense of specificity and positive predictive value and therefore to increase the false positive rate leading to an overdiagnosis of recurrence and an overtreatment, and a potential bleeding risk. In the ULTREC-ANCILLARY study, the research will aim at assessing the validity of baseline CDUS positive criteria for the diagnosis of DVT recurrence. As there is no diagnostic standard to which the results could be compared, it is suggested to validate these criteria based on the evolution of the thrombosis on CDUS performed at D90±5. The hypothesis is that an unchanged appearance under anticoagulation would be in favor of sequelae and will invalidate the initial diagnosis (diagnostic failure)
NCT06124768
The study aims to compare the modified approach through ipsilateral deep calf venous access or contralateral femoral venous access with the traditional approach through ipsilateral popliteal venous access for iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis (DVT) with distal popliteal vein thrombosis, and determine whether it can achieve similar therapeutic effects as iliofemoral DVT without distal popliteal vein thrombosis.
NCT07102160
The primary objective of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Cleaner Vac® Thrombectomy System for the treatment of thrombus in patients with lower extremity proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This prospective, multi-center, open-label study will assess clinical outcomes, device performance, and procedural success in a single DVT study cohort.
NCT06370702
Patients who have a peripherally-inserted central catheter (PICC) placed are at a risk of developing a deep vein thrombosis (DVT). At TriHealth, approximately 2-4 patients per month who have a PICC placed experience a subsequent DVT. One innovative way to possibly mitigate the risk of DVTs is hand grip exercises. The current study will be the first study to evaluate hand grip exercises for the prevention of DVTs in adult patients hospitalized in the United States.
NCT03634124
The numerical ratio between the value of the thrombin generation test performed without soluble thrombomodulin and the value of the thrombin generation test performed in the presence of soluble thrombomodulin, performed pre-surgically, could predict the risk of early venous thromboembolism after placement of total hip or knee prosthesis.
NCT05761119
The project will investigate the feasibility of a physiotherapy intervention for patients diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis for whom a physiotherapy intervention is not currently part of clinical practice in Denmark. Specifically, the project will investigate if an early-initiated physiotherapy intervention for patients who are admitted acutely with first-time deep vein thrombosis (DVT), can be carried out and is experienced as valuable for the patients.
NCT06871683
The objective of this survey is to determine the safety and efficacy of the ClotTriever Thrombectomy System under daily clinical practice after marketing approval in Japan. This device was designated as a subject of use results evaluation at the time of application for manufacturing and marketing approval.

The study compares before and after the application by one time application.
NCT03250247
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of image-guided, endovascular therapy (EVT) is an effective strategy with which to reduce Post Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) disease severity and improve quality of life in patients with established disabling iliac-obstructive post thrombotic syndrome (DIO-PTS).
NCT06149520
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have deep vein thrombosis (DVT). DVT is a condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein in the leg. DVT is called 'proximal' when the clot is formed in the veins of the hip, thigh, and knee. DVT can cause serious health problems. The blood clots in the veins can break loose and can then travel through the bloodstream and get stuck in the lungs, blocking blood flow to the lungs. Symptoms of DVT include swelling, pain, and tenderness in the affected leg, as well as redness and warmth in the area. Currently, DVT is usually treated using blood thinners to prevent the clot from getting bigger or breaking off and traveling to the lungs. However, blood thinners may not be able to remove a blood clot quickly and may not be suitable for everyone who has DVT. BAY3018250 is a drug that works by dissolving blood clots. In this study, researchers will compare BAY3018250 with placebo to learn how well it works and how safe it is in participants with proximal DVT. A placebo looks like the study drug but does not have any medicine in it. Using a placebo helps researchers to confirm that the results observed during the study were caused by the study drug and not by other factors. The main purposes of this study are to learn: * How well BAY3018250 works in dissolving blood clots in participants with proximal DVT and * How safe is BAY3018250 as a treatment for participants with proximal DVT? For this, the researchers will use ultrasound tests to measure blood clots in participants before and at various times after study treatment. They call these measurements a clot burden score. They will compare the clot burden score before and after treatment and will calculate a complex measure called AUC. This tells researchers how the clots have changed over time. And researchers will collect the number of bleeding events that require medical attention. The study participants will be randomly (by chance) assigned to one of 3 treatment groups. Dependent on the group, they will receive a single dose of high dose or low dose of BAY3018250 or placebo. Researchers will closely monitor participants for 90 days after receiving the study treatment. During the study, the doctors and their study team will: * take blood samples * do physical examinations * examine heart health using electrocardiogram (ECG) * check vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate * undergo ultrasound tests to measure the blood clots * ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective if they think it is related or not to the study treatments.
NCT07347652
The primary focus of this research proposal is to examine the efficacy of a nursing care protocol in preventing the occurrence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery. The investigation will encompass an experimental group that will be subjected to a specific intervention, alongside a control group that will adhere to conventional care procedures. The central objective is to exhibit a statistically significant decrease in the incidence of DVT within the experimental group in comparison to the control group. The secondary outcomes involve assessing the severity of DVT instances and the development of associated complications. The proposed research strategy entails delineating the criteria for selecting participants, outlining methodologies for gathering data, and detailing statistical approaches for analysis. The amassed data will undergo scrutiny through suitable statistical examinations, including chi-square tests, t-tests, or Mann-Whitney U tests, as well as logistic regression analysis. The process of data analysis will involve descriptive statistics, comparative assessments, regression analysis, and subgroup scrutiny. The interpretation of outcomes will be contextualized within the framework of the research objectives and pre-existing scientific knowledge. The ultimate objective of this study is to enhance the existing understanding of DVT prevention, provide clinically grounded recommendations supported by evidence, and elevate the quality and safety of patient care.
NCT07330661
The goal of this clinical trial is to see if a nurse-led program (early movement, leg-sleeve squeezes, and blood tests) can prevent dangerous leg blood clots in adults who have just had brain or spine surgery. Main questions it aims to answer: * Does the program lower the number of clots within 30 days after surgery? * Is the program safer and more accurate than the usual clot-risk score nurses already use? Researchers will compare patients who receive the nurse-led program with patients who receive standard hospital care. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. * Have regular leg ultrasounds to check for clots. * Wear a small activity tracker if they are in the nurse-led group.
NCT03784937
This study aimed (1) revaluating the efficacy of the Wells' clinical prediction score for an inpatient population; and the weight of the presence of thromboprophylaxis treatment on the score, and (2) evaluating the correlation of a risk stratification established between a physician specialised in thrombosis and any other doctor.
NCT06519435
The purpose of this research is to measure changes in venous blood flow with an air-filled bladder under an intermittent pneumatic compression device cuff (used to prevent deep venous thrombosis) or venous diagnostic device cuff (used to detect deep venous thrombosis). The devices being used in the study are investigational and not FDA-cleared.
NCT07181083
This prospective single-arm cohort study aims to develop an AI-powered prediction model for treatment outcomes in patients with acute extensive iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (IF-DVT) undergoing stent-free pharmacomechanical thrombolysis. The study addresses the current lack of validated tools for patient selection and outcome prediction in catheter-directed interventions for proximal DVT. Thirty consecutive adult patients with MRV-confirmed acute IF-DVT will undergo pharmacomechanical thrombolysis using the AngioJet ZelanteDVT system with adjunctive rtPA administration. The primary objective is to develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) trained on serial MRV imaging data to predict three-month venous recanalization success. MRV acquisitions occur at baseline, predischarge, and three-month follow-up. Ground truth segmentation will be performed by an experienced radiologist using 3D Slicer, with semi-automated propagation across the dataset. Feature extraction will include geometric metrics, radiomic texture analysis, and morphological characteristics of both thrombus and vessel architecture. Secondary endpoints include acute kidney injury incidence (a significant concern with rheolytic thrombectomy due to hemolysis-induced nephrotoxicity), post-thrombotic syndrome development assessed via Villalta scoring, and various safety outcomes including major bleeding per ISTH criteria. The study protocol incorporates rigorous monitoring for AKI using KDIGO criteria, with systematic evaluation of renal function, hemolysis markers, and electrolyte balance. Hydration protocols and nephroprotective measures will be standardized, though specific strategies require clarification from the nephrology team. This research addresses critical gaps in evidence-based patient selection for invasive DVT treatment, particularly following the mixed results of the ATTRACT trial. The AI prediction model could enable personalized treatment decisions, potentially improving the risk-benefit ratio of pharmacomechanical interventions while reducing unnecessary procedures in patients unlikely to benefit.
NCT02297373
Patients with a history of blood clots are at risk of developing additional clots in the future. Doctors use a tool called a clinical decision rule to tell them how likely it is that a patient has a blood clot and if they should have further testing to look for the clot. This tool may cause doctors to over-diagnosis a recurrent clot because the symptoms may be left over from the previous clot. Correctly diagnosing a recurrent blood clot is very important since there are risks associated with both over-diagnosis and under-diagnosis. If a recurrent blood clot is missed (under-diagnosis) the patient is at risk of death from a clot in the lungs. If blood thinners are prescribed when they are not needed (over-diagnosis), the patient may have to take blood thinners for their lifetime and risk having serious bleeding.
NCT06451003
While blood clots after major cancer surgery are common and harmful to patients, the medications to decrease blood clot risk are seldom used after patients leave the hospital despite the recommendation of multiple professional medical societies. The reason why these medications are seldom prescribed is not well understood. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Does surgeon education paired with an electronic medical record based decision support tool improve the guideline concordant prescription of pharmacologic venous thromboembolism after abdominopelvic cancer surgery? * Does dedicated patient education regarding blood clots at the time of hospital discharge after abdominopelvic cancer surgery improve understanding of the risk of venous thromboembolism and adherence to pharmacologic prophylaxis? The investigators will study these questions using a stepped-wedge randomized trial where groups of surgeons will use a tool integrated to the electronic medical record to educate them on the individualized patient risks of blood clots after major cancer surgery and inform them regarding guidelines for preventative medicines. Utilization of the medications before and after using the tool will be compared. Patients will be administered a questionnaire assessing their awareness of blood clots as a risk after cancer surgery. For those prescribed medications to reduce blood clot risk after leaving the hospital, the questionnaire will evaluate whether they took the medications as prescribed. Survey results will be evaluated before and after implementation of education on blood clot risk at the time of hospital discharge.
NCT06480994
The goal of this non interventional study is to demonstrate the diagnostic performances on fresh plasmas in comparison with the performances on frozen plasmas in any patients with VTE suspicion, whatever the pre-test probability. The main question it aims to answer is : Are the performances equivalent on fresh plasmas in comparison with frozen plasmas or is it necessary to determine a new algorithm of the Clinical Decision Support with a new cut-off? Participants will be diagnosed and treated in accordance with routine standard of care.
NCT04741464
Anticoagulants influence either coagulation, inflammation and inflammatory processes in deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Acute DVT cause an inflammatory response that may persist for a long period of time. There is a need to describe patterns of change in serum biomarker levels after acute DVT, and explore the association between trajectory biological patterns and clinical evolution in the era of various anticoagulants in the acute phase of treatment in order to be able to further avoid recurrence and late sequelae. It appears that direct oral anticoagulants and heparin alter inflammatory markers in different ways. It is therefore important to study the evolution of markers according to the different treatments used and secondarily to compare them with each other. Tinzaparin is used in the long term in patients with DVT, it is necessary to measure the evolution of inflammatory markers and then in another study to compare with the other molecules.
NCT03080883
This randomized phase III trial studies the best dose of apixaban and how well it works in preventing secondary cancer related venous thrombosis in cancer patients who have completed anticoagulation therapy. Apixaban may help in prevention by blocking some of the enzymes needed for venous thrombosis.
