About this study

Official title: Aging Venous Thrombi With Ultrasound Elasticity Imaging

The purpose of this study is to see if the investigators can use ultrasound imaging to determine the type of clots in patients to help better manage their care.

Read the detailed description

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot and is a common illness that can result in pain and death if not recognized and treated well. Death can occur when the venous clots break off and form pulmonary emboli (PE), which can block the arteries of the lungs. DVT and PE most often complicate the course of sick patients but may also affect healthy persons. DVT can also be a chronic disease. In those instances in which DVT and PE develop, in addition to the death risk, hospitalization is drawn out and healthcare costs are increased. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to see if we can use ultrasound imaging to determine the type of clots in patients to help better manage their care.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To determine if ultrasound imaging will aid in the diagnosis and classification of venous blood clots

    Measured: approximately one year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Follow-up with subjects who have been diagnosed with Acute DVT to see if they develop post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS)

    Measured: first year following diagnosis of acute DVT

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Ultrasound in people with Thrombosis, run by University of Michigan 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 4 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 May 2016. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

To determine if ultrasound imaging will aid in the diagnosis and classification of venous blood clots (time frame: approximately one year). 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 24 May 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
