About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate factor levels of the pro coagulant factors II, VII, IX, X, and the anticoagulant factors protein C and S in healthy volunteers during the intake of elevated levels of vitamin K in order to investigate whether there is any evidence that high dose vitamin K intake increases plasma coagulation factor activity.

Read the detailed description
  1. Recruit 8 male healthy individuals with no prior history of arterial or venous thrombosis (2 each from each of the following age ranges: 20-34, 35-49, 50-64, >65).
  2. Visit 1: Measure baseline activity levels of Factor II, Factor VII, Factor IX, Factor X, and levels of D-Dimer, TAT complexes, protein C and S activities. Also measure thrombin generation potential. Collaboration with a research laboratory will be sought to also determine factor VIIa levels.
  3. Visit 2: Measure activity of Factor II, Factor VII, Factor IX, Factor X, levels of D-Dimer, TAT complexes, protein C and S activities and thrombin generation potential at the end of the 2 week period.
  4. Have each individual consume 20 mg of Vitamin K2 orally per day for two weeks.
  5. Visit 3: Measure Factor II, Factor VII, Factor IX, Factor X, D-Dimer, TAT complexes, protein C and S activities and thrombin generation potential at the end of the 2 week period.
  6. Total length of study is 4 weeks.
  7. Analyze the data sets for changes in levels / activities due to Vitamin K supplementation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Vitamin K, 20mg in people with Thrombosis, run by Stephan Moll, MD 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 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 12 Jun 2012. 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.

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?

Change in levels and activities due to vitamin K supplementation (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 12 Jun 2012.
