About this study

Official title: Stabilization of Anticoagulation by Acenocoumarol: Role of Genetic Vulnerability and Risk of Drug Interactions

The use of oral anticoagulation is marked by an elevated risk of adverse drug events (ADE) due to a narrow therapeutic window leading to important medical and economical consequences. The risk of ADE is increased partly by drug interactions and recently identified genetic factors influencing the metabolism of coumarins (polymorphism of the cytochrome P450 CYP2C9) as well as the target enzyme of the coumarins (polymorphism of the vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1).

The objective is to determine the impact of several genotypes on acenocoumarol treatment and on vulnerability to drug-drug interactions.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to achieve stable dosing in days, since the beginning of the anticoagulation

    Measured: 5 weeks

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Number of patients with INR > or = 4.0, which indicates overanticoagulation

    Measured: 5 weeks

  2. Time to achieve two consecutive therapeutic INRs

    Measured: 5 weeks

  3. Mean daily dosage of acenocoumarol

    Measured: 5 weeks

  4. Major bleedings and minor bleedings

    Measured: 5 weeks

  5. Thromboembolic events due to infratherapeutic anticoagulation

    Measured: 5 weeks

  6. Length of hospitalisation in days

    Measured: 5 weeks

  7. Potential of other drug interactions, linked to the observed genotype and phenotype of the patient

    Measured: 5 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thromboembolic Diseases, run by University Hospital, Geneva at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 21 Jun 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?

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?

Time to achieve stable dosing in days, since the beginning of the anticoagulation (time frame: 5 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01492777, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Jun 2013.
