About this study

Official title: Influence of Bevacizumab and VEGF on Platelet Aggregation

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about the effect of bevacizumab and VEGF on platelet clustering.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at the effect of bevacizumab and VEGF on platelet clustering in patients with cancer who are receiving bevacizumab.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To determine the influence of bevacizumab on platelet aggregation in patients receiving bevacizumab for cancer.
  • To determine the influence of VEGF on platelet aggregation.
  • To determine the influence of VEGF or bevacizumab on cyclooxygenesis.
  • To determine if the sequence of medication plays a role in platelet aggregation.

OUTLINE: Blood samples are collected before and after bevacizumab infusion. Samples are analyzed for measurements of platelet aggregation, coagulation parameters, and endothelial activation (e.g., fibrin fragment F1 and 2, thrombin and antithrombin complex, soluble P-selectin, Von Willebrand factor and factor VIII, tissue factor, and endothelin 1).

Being tested
bevacizumab, coagulation study, laboratory biomarker analysis, platelet aggregation test
Keywords

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific and Unspecified Childhood Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by Kantonsspital Graubünden at 1 site in Switzerland.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 2013. 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 Switzerland. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Influence of bevacizumab on platelet aggregation. The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Aug 2013.
