Several studies have shown that the efficacy of clopidogrel for secondary prevention of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including acute coronary syndrome, depends on the polymorphism of the CYP2C19 gene. However, studies with large sample sizes and long-term follow-up are missing. Moreover, the impact of this polymorphism on the risk of major adverse limb events (MALE), particularly in patients with peripheral artery disease of the lower limb, is unexplored. Additionally, the impact of CYP2C19 gene polymorphism on clopidogrel effectiveness in preventing recurrent stroke in diverse populations is unknown since most of the data are from Asian ancestry populations. We hypothesize that patients with CYP2C19 gene loss of function alleles are at high risk of MACE and MALE compared to those without loss of function alleles at long-term follow-up. We propose to assess MACE and MALE in a large cohort of patients with available CYP2C19 genotypes treated at the University of Florida Health to evaluate the impact of CYP2C19 gene polymorphisms on the risk of new or recurrent events at long-term follow-up. Our specific aims are Aim 1) to determine the impact of CYP2C19 gene polymorphisms (loss of function alleles vs. non-loss of function alleles) on the risk of MACE (a composite of all-cause death, non-fatal MI, and non-fatal stroke) at long-term follow-up; Aim 2) to evaluate the impact of CYP2C19 gene polymorphisms (loss of function alleles vs. non-loss of function alleles) on the risk of MALE (a composite of limb amputations, chronic threatening limb ischemia, acute limb ischemia, and limb revascularization) at long-term follow-up; and Aim 3) to evaluate the impact of CYP2C19 gene polymorphisms (loss of function alleles vs. non-loss of function alleles) on the risk of cerebrovascular events (CVE, a composite of any stroke and transient ischemic attack) at long-term follow-up.

NCT05684770
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the feasibility and impact of remote care in patients diagnosed with thromboembolic disease of low risk. The main questions it aims to answer are: * the evaluation of feasibility of organisation between different healthcare professionals (hospital physicians, primary care physician) at 6 months and 1 year * the evaluation of complication rate, hospitalisation related to thromboembolic disease rate, compliance to treatment rate at 6 months and 1 year Participants will receive indication of treatment according to national recommendations. Additionnally, they will receive for the length of study a 4G tablet in order to fill questionnaires, learn information about their drugs (patient education), have a remote consultation and evaluate treatment compliance.
NCT04861506
Based on the development of new tools, including drug coated balloon, paclitaxel eluting stent, interwoven stents, debulking tools, More and more acute or subacute thromboembolic occlusions of lower extremity included stage IIb were treated with endovascular procedures. Most guidelines suggests only stage I and stage IIa lesions are suitable for endovascular treatments. Therefore, a well-designed real-world study that track the safety and clinical relevant outcomes, are required to determine the optimal therapies for patients with acute or subacute thromboembolic occlusions of lower extremity.
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.
NCT05396157
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the second leading cause of death in patients with cancer, after disease progression. VTE is increasingly recognized as a complication in patients with hematologic malignancies and various studies have reported high rates of VTE. Critically ill patients are at high risk of VTE and should all receive thromboprophylaxis. Given the increasing number of patients with HM (hematologic malignancies) / HCT (Hematopoietic cell transplantation) who develop critical illness, and their often prolonged course, it is imperative to understand the incidence and risk factors for VTE, and to evaluate the efficacy and risks associated with both chemical and mechanical thromboprophylaxis Therefore, the investigators plan to evaluate retrospectively the VTE / PE (pulmonary embolism) incidence in HM /HCT patients at the University of Toronto, and the complications associated with it (including death). In addition, the investigators want to evaluate the use, type (mechanical or pharmacological) and timing of thromboprophylaxis. And lastly, the investigators will determine the incidence of bleeding and of complications associated with chemical and mechanical thromboprophylaxis. The investigators will describe the change in VTE incidence over the last 10 years. The investigators know that patients with COVID-19 infection are at higher risk of thrombosis than non-COVID patients. As such, HM/HCT COVID-19 pts will comprise a subgroup, which will be compared with patients who are not not positive for COVID-19. If these numbers are low, COVID-19 status will be included as a predictive variable in our modelling. The results of this research program will help define indications and safety of VTE prophylaxis; and will inform the development of clinical practice guidelines.
NCT06575309
Pregnancy is associated with major changes affecting all satges of hemostasis. Certain procoagulant factors are increased, such as factors VII, VIII, IX, X, XII, fibrinogen and Von Willebrand factor. Anticoagulant molecules are also affected by pregnancy, notably the protein C - protein S (PC - PS) system. overall, PC activity is little affected by pregnancy, increasing in the 2nd trimester and decreasing in the 3rd, but remaining within normal values. PS decreases from the first trimester of pregnancy, then progressively with gestational age. Antithrombin is stable during pregnancy. The increased in most coagulation factors, combined with the decrease in concentrations of anticoagulant molecules, creates a state of relative hypercoagulability that protects women from bleeding during homostatic challenge of childbirth, but predisposes them to venous thromboembolic events. The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) during pregnancy is increased compared to non-pregnant women of the same age. The post-partum period is also considered a thrombotic risk state for up to 12 weeks after delivery. Data on the incidence of VTE as a function of gestational age are contradictory: depending on the study, incidence may be stable or increase with advancing pregnancy. Low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is the anticoagulant treatment of choice for prophylactic or curative treatment of VTE during pregnancy. Physiological changes during pregnancy may alter the pharmacokinetic properties of LMWH. The increased volume of distribution and higher glomerular filtration rate may result in a reduced anticoagulant effect. On the other hand, the state of hypercoagulability probably counteracts the anticoagulant effect of LMWH. Nevertheless, the need to adjust doses during pregnancy remains controversial, and monitoring of anti-Xa activity is not clearly recommended. The optimal dose of LMWH in pregnant women, for both preventive and curative treatment, remains poorly understood. Initiation of treatment with LMWH therefore requires discussion of the dosage to be administered. Assessment of anticoagulation using more precise tools than those currently available on a routine basis could be useful in this context. Thrombinography enables the amount of thrombin generated in the presence of coagulation activators to be assessed over time. This tool can be used to assess the impact of in vitro addition of different doses of LMWH in pregnant versus non-pregnant women and in the postpartum period. In this pilot study, the investigators propose to evaluate thrombin generation, before and after in vitro addition of LMWH, in pregnant women longitudinally, during the 3 trimesters of pregnancy, postpartum and post-pregnancy.
NCT06232551
A new algorithm derived from only patient age and components of the complete blood count and basic metabolic panel can identify patients discharged from the hospital who may benefit from a blood thinner (called rivaroxaban) to decrease their risk of blood clots, and for whom the risk of bleeding is minimal. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a pop-up alert, which will be seen by clinicians when a discharging patient has been identified as being someone for whom the risk of blood clots is high, but for whom bleeding risk is estimated to be low. The pop-up alert will be enabled in a sequential fashion for each group of hospitals in 1 month blocks. We will look to see if the pop-up alert changes the number of patients who receive rivaroxaban. We will also measure the outcomes of blood clots and bleeding among all discharging patients.
NCT06179823
Pregnancy is a major risk factor of thromboembolic disease (2 to 10 increased risk of thromboembolic event for pregnant women). This risk is related to the physiological changes inducing venous stasis and hypercoagulability. Thromboembolic disease is the first preventable cause of death during pregnancy (in France 1.1 maternal death per 100 000 living births. The recommended treatment for pregnant women is low molecular weight heparin requiring subcutaneous injections daily. Vitamin K antagonists are contraindicated due to a teratogenic risk. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) are easier to use. Currently available preclinical and incidental exposure data on DOAC in pregnant women are very limited and insufficient to conclude on their safety. Therefore, its use during pregnancy is currently contraindicated for the grounds of precaution. The use of reimbursement data from the Système National des données de santé (National Health Data System) would provide more information on accidental exposure to DOACs during pregnancy, thanks to its completeness. The primary objective of SACOD is to compare the prevalence of adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnant women treated with a direct oral anticoagulant versus pregnant women treated with heparin and Vitamin K antagonist. The secondary objectives of the SACOD study are to i) determine the frequency of patients exposed to a direct oral anticoagulant during pregnancy according to pregnancy, ii) measure the prevalence of adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnant women initiating treatment with a direct oral anticoagulant therapy, iii) compare the prevalence of adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnant women initiating treatment with direct oral anticoagulants compared with pregnant women treated with heparin and a vitamin K antagonist, iv) compare the prevalence of adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnant women with Antiphospholipid syndrome treated with a direct oral anticoagulant versus pregnant women treated with heparin and anti-vitamin K, v) measure the incidence of thrombo-embolic episodes during pregnancy under anticoagulant treatment.

The Quantra(r) hemostasis analyzer (Stago) is a recent addition to the family of global hemostasis tests. It uses ultrasound-based technology to characterize the viscoelastic properties of a whole blood sample during coagulation. The Qplus(r) cartridge consists of independent channels, each containing different reagents that provide parallel measurements of 6 parameters. This global test takes into account cellular elements such as platelets and red blood cells in clot formation, and also explores fibrinolysis. In addition, this test is of particular interest in delocalized biology, i.e. at the patient's bedside, and avoids the time-consuming laboratory centrifugation stage required for routine analyzers. In practice, this test has been developed to monitor haemostasis in patients who may present with a range of coagulopathies of various etiologies, but also in the management of haemorrhagic patients, in order to adapt the administration of blood products in particular. The Quantra (r) analyzer could therefore be of interest since it could be deployed in overseas operations to manage war casualties. Recent studies (EACTAIC-ICCVA congress, October 2021) have shown that there is a good correlation between anti-Xa activity and the CTR (coagulation time ratio) parameter of the Quantra cartridge Qplus (TM), suggesting that this automated system could be used to manage anticoagulant therapy.
NCT04883385
The purpose of this study is to determine the current level of adequacy of the thromboprophylaxis prescriptions with the specific institutional protocol during the post-partum period. The institutional protocol is based on national and international guidelines.

Open and multicenter randomized clinical trial (1:1) comparing limited screening with extended screening with the performance of Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scan in the search for neoplasms in patients with unprovoked venous thromboembolic disease at high risk of developing cancer at follow-up. Introduction: Cancer screening in patients with unprovoked venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) is controversial. In the last years, a score has been developed that selects patients at high risk of developing cancer during follow-up. Objective: To estimate the impact of an active cancer search strategy using 18-fluordesoxiglucose (FDG) PET-CT in unprovoked VTE with high-risk to develop cancer. Specific Objectives: 1) Number of neoplasms diagnosed in the screening process: 2) number of neoplasms diagnosed at an early stage, 3) impact on survival of the strategy; and 4) impact on the quality of life. Cancer will be considered from 30 days up to 12 months after the diagnosis of VTE. Scope: 20 Spanish hospitals. Design: Open-label, multicentre Randomized clinical trial (1: 1) comparing the performance of PET-CT versus limited screening for cancer. Population: Patients older than 18 years with unprovoked VTE at high risk of presenting cancer at follow-up (≥3 points in the score of Jara-Palomares et al., Chest 2017). Follow-up: 12 months after VTE. Sample: The sample size calculated is 650 patients, to obtain a power of 80%, with a level of significance of 5%, and taking into account a 10% loss of follow-up.
NCT01729559
The rate of venous thromboembolic events in trauma patients at high risk for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism receiving low dose unfractionated heparin every 8 hours will be equivalent or less than a similar group of patients given a standard every 12 hour dose of low molecular weight heparin.
NCT01492777
The use of oral anticoagulation is marked by an elevated risk of adverse drug events (ADE) due to a narrow therapeutic window leading to important medical and economical consequences. The risk of ADE is increased partly by drug interactions and recently identified genetic factors influencing the metabolism of coumarins (polymorphism of the cytochrome P450 CYP2C9) as well as the target enzyme of the coumarins (polymorphism of the vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1). The objective is to determine the impact of several genotypes on acenocoumarol treatment and on vulnerability to drug-drug interactions.
