Trial summary

To access the clinical usefulness of F1+2 in the diagnosis of PE in patients with AECOPD who require hospitalization. Specifically, to determine whether F1+2 may have an additional value in the subgroup of patients with an abnormal D-dimer,to determine whether it may increase the proportion of patients in whom PE can… Read more about this study

About this study

To access the clinical usefulness of F1+2 in the diagnosis of PE in patients with AECOPD who require hospitalization. Specifically, to determine whether F1+2 may have an additional value in the subgroup of patients with an abnormal D-dimer,to determine whether it may increase the proportion of patients in whom PE can be safely ruled out and to determine the sensitivity, specificity and NPV of F1+2 at various cut-off values.

Being tested
CT pulmonary angio, blood tests

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Pulmonary Embolism, run by Hillel Yaffe Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Israel. 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?

Contact Ihab Abdelhai, MD (972-4-630-4525, ihababdelhai69@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Negative Predictive Value of Prothrombin Fragment F1+2 (time frame: Six months). 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?
