About this study

The objectives of this registry are to measure the outcomes, cost, adherence pattern and experience of patients treated as outpatients with rivaroxaban after being diagnosed with blood clots in the emergency department. The investigators hypothesize that patients will have a relatively low rate of adverse events and higher adherence than has been reported historically for warfarin treatment. Patients will be scheduled for follow up care with one of Dr. Kline's Outpatient Thrombosis clinics at Methodist Hospital, Eskenazi Health Services and the Baylor University Medical Center (Dallas, TX) after diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE) or deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Read the detailed description

Information will be obtained from the patient medical records, past medical history, physical examination at initial outpatient clinic visit 30 days (+/- 14 days) and 6 months or 180 days (+/- 14 days) post diagnosis or start of treatment, then annual follow ups for up to 5 years. The data will be collected and stored in a database, the IU RedCap database system will be used to develop a database and store information .

WarfarinA study group taken from existing anticoagulant clinics treated with warfarin.
RivaroxabanA group seen in the rivaroxaban clinic under study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Clot Recurrence

    The primary outcome is clot recurrence, with the rivaroxaban cohort expected to be equivalent or improved with warfarin.

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Bleeding

    Bleeding that requires change in therapy

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adherence

    Number of patients discontinuing anticoagulation in first 30 days and reason why

    Measured: 5 years

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?

Clot Recurrence (time frame: 5 years). The study lists 2 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 NCT02079584, which also lists 3 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.
