About this study

Official title: Accuracy of CoaguChek XS in Patients With Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome

The purpose of this study is to see if the CoaguChek XS is accurate in measuring International Normalized Ratio (INR) in patients with Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome (APL) receiving warfarin therapy.

Read the detailed description

Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome (APL) is an autoimmune disease that increases ones risk for blood clots. Therefore, these patients receive anticoagulation therapy with warfarin. Point of care devices such as the CoaguChek XS are often used to monitor International Normalized Ratio (INR) in patients on warfarin. However, the antibodies present in patients with APL may lead to false INR results when using the CoaguChek XS. This study will compare the accuracy of the CoaguChek XS in measuring INR in patients with APL by measuring INR by the CoaguChek XS and a standard lab as a reference point. Patients on warfarin for indications other than APL will be measured by both methods as well to serve as a control group.

What participants receive

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

  • CoaguChek XSDevice

    CoaguChek XS will be used to measure INR in patients with APL

  • Standard Lab DrawProcedure or surgery

    Patients on warfarin for any indication other than APL will measure INR by venous lab draw

What is being measured

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

  1. International Normalized Ratio (INR)

    Compare INR obtained by CoaguChek XS to INR obtained from venous lab draw. Difference of +/- 0.5 considered significant

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 60

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome, run by University of Florida at 1 site in United States.

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 4 Oct 2016. 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 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?

International Normalized Ratio (INR) (time frame: Day 1 and Day 60). 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 4 Oct 2016.
