About this study

Official title: CAVECCAS Value of Risk Factors for Symptomatic Catheter Related Thrombosis in Patients With Breast Cancer Treated With Adjuvant Chemotherapy

In order to avoid to use a traumatic and iatrogenic examen (phlebography), the purpose of the study is to validate echography doppler in the diagnosis of asymptomatic related catheter related thrombosis.

Read the detailed description

Phlebography is the gold standard for the diagnosis of asymptomatic catheter related thrombosis but can not be performed in about 15% of patients because of arm swelling and lack of superficial veins.

Echography doppler is an easy, cheap and atraumatic way to make the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis. The value of echography doppler has been proven for the diagnosis of symptomatic deep venous thrombosis of lower and upper limbs and for the diagnosis of proximal asymptomatic lower limbs.

To validate the echography doppler we intend to correlate asymptomatic findings to the occurrence symptomatic related catheter related thrombosis.

Patients with localized breast cancer treated with chemotherapy will be enrolled in the study. An echography doppler will be performed on day 8, 30 and 90 after catheter insertion. Findings in asymptomatic patients (thrombus visualisation, lack of vein compressibility, variation of physiologic vein blood flow) will thereafter be correlated with the presence or absence of clinical signs of catheter related thrombosis.

In order to assess if they are risk factors for catheter related thrombosis, we will determine the level D-Dimer, microparticles and the results of generation thrombin tests before and 2 days after catheter insertion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer and Upper Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis, Secondary, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 8 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2011. 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 France. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Philippe M Debourdeau, MD (+33 1 4249 9768, onco.debourdeau@yahoo.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Symptomatic catheter related thrombosis, as confirmed by echography doppler, phlebography or angiography scan (time frame: within 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 23 Feb 2011.
