What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change From Baseline to End of Month 6 in Prothrombin Fragment 1+2 Levels
Prothrombin fragment 1+2 is a coagulation factor, released when prothrombin is cleaved by activated factor X. Elevated plasma levels of prothrombin fragment 1+2 indicate high risk of thrombosis.
Measured: Baseline to Month 6
Secondary outcomes (20)
Change From Baseline to End of Month 6 in D-dimer
D-dimer is the degradation product of cross-linked fibrin and is a marker of thrombin and fibrin formation and turnover.
Measured: Baseline to Month 6
Change From Baseline to End of Month 6 in Plasmin-Antiplasmin (PAP) Complex
The plasmin-antiplasmin (PAP) complex is a marker of thrombin and fibrin formation and turnover.
Measured: Baseline to Month 6
Change From Baseline to End of Month 6 in Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) Based Activated Protein-C Resistance (APC)
The APC resistance assay is a clotting test that measures the ratio of APTT clotting times in the presence and absence of a standard amount of exogenous APC. APC resistance is calculated as the ratio of the clotting time after APC addition over the clotting time with no APC addition.
APC resistance is defined as a poor anticoagulant response of plasma to APC (minimal prolongation of the APTT) and a correspondingly low ratio.
Measured: Baseline to Month 6
Change From Baseline to End of Month 6 in Endogenous Thrombin Potential (EPT) Based Activated Protein-C Resistance (APC)
This assay is based on measurement of the effect of activated protein C on the endogenous thrombin potential, the time integral of thrombin generation initiated in plasma through the extrinsic coagulation pathway.
The APC resistance assay measures the ratio of endogenous thrombin potential in the presence and absence of a standard amount of exogenous APC.
APC resistance is calculated as the ratio of EPT after APC addition over the EPT with no APC addition.
APC resistance is defined as a poor anticoagulant response of plasma to APC (less inhibition of thrombin formation) and a correspondingly higher ratio.
Measured: Baseline to Month 6
Change From Baseline to End of Month 6 in Fibrinogen
Fibrinogen (factor I) is a glycoprotein that helps in the formation of blood clots.
Measured: Baseline to Month 6
Change From Baseline to End of Month 6 in Plasminogen
Plasminogen is the precursor of plasmin, which lyses fibrin clots.
Measured: Baseline to Month 6
Change From Baseline to End of Month 6 in Tissue Plasminogen Activator (t-PA)
Tissue plasminogen activator catalyzes the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin, the major enzyme responsible for the breakdown of blood clots.
Measured: Baseline to Month 6
Change From Baseline to End of Month 6 in Factor II
Clotting factor II, also called prothrombin, functions in blood coagulation. Results are reported as percent of normal plasma concentrations. By definition, normal plasma contains 100% (1 unit/mL) of each factor. The reference range is approximately 60% to 140% for adults.
Measured: Baseline to Month 6
Change From Baseline to End of Month 6 in Factor VII
Clotting factor VII, also called proconvertin or autoprothrombin I, functions in blood coagulation.
Results are reported as percent of normal plasma concentrations. By definition, normal plasma contains 100% (1 unit/mL) of each factor. The reference range is approximately 60% to 140% for adults.
Measured: Baseline to Month 6
Change From Baseline to End of Month 6 in Factor VIII
Clotting factor VIII, also known as anti-hemophilic factor (AHF), functions in blood coagulation by stabilizing fibrin clots.
Results are reported as a percent of the amount expected in normal plasma. By definition, the mean value in normal plasma is 100%. The reference range is approximately 70% to 140%.for adults.
Measured: Baseline to Month 6
Change From Baseline to End of Month 6 in Antithrombin
Antithrombin is a protein in the blood that naturally blocks blood clots from forming.
Results are reported as a percent of the amount expected in normal plasma. By definition, the mean value in normal plasma is 100%. The reference range is approximately 80% to 130%.for adults.
Measured: Baseline to Month 6
Change From Baseline to End of Month 6 in Protein C Activity
Protein C helps to regulate blood clot formation. Activated Protein C (APC) combines with Protein S (a cofactor) to degrade coagulation factors VIIIa and Va, slowing down the generation of new thrombin and inhibiting further clotting.
Results are reported as a percent of the amount expected in normal plasma. By definition, the mean value in normal plasma is 100%. The reference range is approximately 70% to 140% for adults.
Measured: Baseline to Month 6
Change From Baseline to End of Month 6 in Protein C Antigen
Protein C helps to regulate blood clot formation. Activated Protein C (APC) combines with Protein S (a cofactor) to degrade coagulation factors VIIIa and Va, slowing down the generation of new thrombin and inhibiting further clotting.
Results are reported as a percent of the amount expected in normal plasma. By definition, the mean value in normal plasma is 100%. The reference range is approximately 70% to 140% in adults.
Measured: Baseline to Month 6
Change From Baseline to End of Month 6 in Free Protein S
Protein S helps to regulate blood clot formation. Protein S exists in two forms: a free form and a complex form. Free protein S combines with Protein C to degrade coagulation factors VIIIa and Va, slowing down the generation of new thrombin and inhibiting further clotting.
Results are reported as a percent of the amount expected in normal plasma. By definition, the mean value in normal plasma is 100%. The reference range is approximately 70% to 140%; lower for women than for men.
Measured: Baseline to Month 6
Change From Baseline to End of Month 6 in Total Protein S
Protein S helps to regulate blood clot formation. Protein S exists in two forms: a free form and a complex form. Free protein S combines with activated protein C to degrade coagulation factors VIIIa and Va, slowing down the generation of new thrombin and inhibiting further clotting.
Results are reported as a percent of the amount expected in normal plasma. By definition, the mean value in normal plasma is 100%. The reference range is approximately 70% to 140%; lower for women than for men.
Measured: Baseline to Month 6
Change From Baseline to End of Month 6 in Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI)
Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI) is an anti-coagulation protein that binds to activated protein X.
Measured: Baseline to Month 6
