Trial summary

Vitamin K antagonists were hampered by several disadvantages, such as the need for frequent monitoring. In this context, new oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have been developed and are now available on the market. These NOACs, like all anticoagulant drugs, continue to be associated with an increased risk of bleeding. Read more about this study

About this study

Vitamin K antagonists were hampered by several disadvantages, such as the need for frequent monitoring. In this context, new oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have been developed and are now available on the market. These NOACs, like all anticoagulant drugs, continue to be associated with an increased risk of bleeding. In addition, the lack of antidote and the absence of valid data regarding biological monitoring can pose problems in case of overdose or when emergency surgery is required. Studies investigating the pharmacokinetic properties of rivaroxaban and dabigatran, two NOACs now approved for the market, have shown high variability between individuals, with coefficients of variation of up to 60% for some pharmacokinetic parameters in patients treated after orthopaedic surgery. The relation between plasma concentrations of NOAC and bleeding risk has been clearly established in clinical trials.

Dabigtran, rivaroxaban and apixaban are known substrates of P-glycoprotein (Pgp). Pgp activity can be affected by pharmacological inducing or inhibiting agents. This can lead to a significant change in the pharmacokinetics of NOACs, with a decrease or increase (respectively) in the level of intestinal absorption, leading to respectively reduced or increased plasma concentrations of the drug. Furthermore, there exist genetic mutations of Pgp, presenting in particular a lower level of activity than the non-mutated protein. We hypothesized that the polymorphisms (mutations) of the ABCB1 gene that codes for Pgp could influence plasma concentrations of dabigatran, rivaroxaban and apixaban, and consequently, impact on the concentration of NOACs and as a corollary, on the bleeding and thromboembolic risk of patients treated with these molecules.

The main objective of this study is to study the relation between polymorphisms of the ABCB1 gene that codes for Pgp and plasma concentrations of NOACs in patients treated for a hemorrhagic or thromboembolic complication occurring under NOAC therapy.

Secondary objectives are to evaluate the distribution of ABCB1 polymorphisms among the various hemorrhagic risk factors, and to compare the frequency of the polymorphism in patients from the study population vs the general population.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Measurement of Plasma Concentrations of NOACsOther

    Plasma concentrations of dabigatran, rivaroxaban or apixaban will be measured using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Blood samples will be taken in an EDTA tube and rapidly centrifugated. Plasma will be aliquoted and frozen at minus 80 degrees Celsius for later analysis.

  • Identification of ABCB1 polymorphisms coding for P-gpGenetic

    To investigate the existence of a relation between polymorphisms of ABCB1 and plasma concentrations of new oral anticoagulants, the SNaPshot® Multiplex System will be used enabling multiplexing of SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) of the ABCB1 gene (namely rs4148738, rs2235046, rs1128503, rs10276036, rs1202169, rs1202168, rs1202167).

Blood samples will be taken in an EDTA tube and rapidly centrifugated. Plasma will be aliquoted and frozen at minus 80 degrees Celsius for later analysis.

    Measured: 0 days (at inclusion)

  2. Identification of polymorphisms of the gene ABCB1 coding for P-gp

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Measurement of Plasma Concentrations of NOACs and Identification of ABCB1 polymorphisms coding for P-gp in people with Anticoagulants and Thromboembolism, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 18 Jul 2018. 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 France. 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?

Measurement of plasma concentrations of new oral anticoagulant agents (time frame: 0 days (at inclusion)). 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?
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 18 Jul 2018.
