About this study

Official title: The Etiologic Role of Inflammation, Thrombophilia and Fibrinolysis in the Post-thrombotic Syndrome: The Bio-SOX Sub Study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether biomarkers of inflammation, genetic thrombophilia and coagulation activation influence Post-Thrombotic Syndrome development in patients with symptomatic proximal deep venous thrombosis.

Read the detailed description

The post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a frequent, burdensome and costly condition that occurs in about one third of patients after an episode of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Affected patients have chronic leg pain and swelling, and sometimes develop skin ulcers. Poor understanding of the pathophysiology and predictors of PTS has hampered progress in its prevention and treatment. Biomarkers reflective of inflammation, genetic thrombophilia and coagulation activation may be of value in predicting PTS development in patients with DVT; they may also provide insight into understanding the underlying mechanisms of PTS, which could result in the development and testing of novel therapies to prevent and treat PTS.

Blood DrawSOX Subjects: The cohort consists of original subjects from the SOX Trial who consented to participate in the sub study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Markers of Inflammation

    Blood samples drawn at baseline, 1 and 6-mths to evaluate the relationship between CRP, ICAM, IL-6, IL-10 with the subsequent development of PTS.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Markers of Inflammation

    Blood samples drawn at baseline, 1 and 6-mths to evaluate the relationship between CRP, ICAM, IL-6, IL-10 with the subsequent development of PTS.

    Measured: 1-mth follow up

  3. Markers of Other Thrombophilia

    Blood samples drawn at 6-mths to evaluate the relationship between D-Dimer, VIII, Lupus anticoagulant, IgG, IgM with the subsequent development of PTS.

    Measured: 6-mth follow up

  4. Markers of Inflammation

    Blood samples drawn at baseline, 1 and 6-mths to evaluate the relationship between CRP, ICAM, IL-6, IL-10 with the subsequent development of PTS.

    Measured: 6-month follow up

  5. Markers of Other Thrombophilia

    Blood samples drawn at 6-mths to evaluate the relationship between D-Dimer, VIII, Lupus anticoagulant, IgG, IgM with the subsequent development of PTS.

    Measured: 6-month follow up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Deep Venous Thrombosis, run by Sir Mortimer B. Davis - Jewish General Hospital at 25 sites in 2 countries.

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 4 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 11 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 25 sites in Canada, 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?

Markers of Inflammation (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01615705, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 11 Jun 2012.
