About this study

Official title: Comparison Between Point of Care Device and Venous Blood International Normalized Ratio Measurements for Pediatric Patients on Anticoagulation Therapy.

Investigate the validity of Hemosense System in pediatric patients on anticoagulation therapy.

Read the detailed description

Over the last few decades there has been an increased use of Warfarin in the pediatric population stemming from the use of mechanical heart valves and palliative surgical procedures requiring anticoagulation therapy. Other patients with enzymatic deficiency within the coagulation cascade may develop thrombosis treated with anticoagulation, i.e. factor V Leiden deficiency. Prevention of poor outcome from thrombosis has required closer monitoring in the pediatric patient. In addition, absorption of Warfarin in the pediatric population is highly variable and depends on the child's age, weight, diet, and concurrent use of other medications (Desai, 2000). This makes achieving anticoagulation very difficult. "Because of the intrinsic differences in the coagulation systems in children and adults, guidelines for antithrombotic therapy in adults cannot be extrapolated to pediatrics" (Desai, 2000). Therefore, pediatric patients on anticoagulation therapy require frequent lab work to monitor their prothrombin time and international ratios (PT/INR).

There are a number of barriers to care when discussing anticoagulation therapy for pediatric patients. Frequent venous blood draws represent a painful procedure that elicit anxiety and fear which leads to noncompliance. In addition, children are more difficult to obtain blood samples because of smaller vessels, patient movement during procedure, and the volume of blood that is required for the test. Other barriers include the time delay from when the patient has the lab work drawn, to when the result get to the provider for any patient care decisions to be made.

There are a number of Point of Care devices available for near-patient testing of the PT/InR's that requires only a finger stick. These monitors have been validated against standardized laboratory testing, in order for the monitor to be certified by the FDA. Similar studies to validate finger stick methods in pediatric patients have not been completed. The aim of this project is to validate the accuracy of Hemosense, a point of care device, to venous blood PT/InR level in the pediatric population.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Hemosense (PT/InR point of care device) in people with Blood Coagulation Disorder, run by University of Rochester at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: insufficient enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The compariative accuracy between Point of Care device and standard of care method of determining PT/InR (Laboratory testing using Venous blood Draw). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00288808, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Apr 2015.
