About this study

Official title: Comparison of Different Anticoagulation Regiments in Patients With Prosthetic Heart Valve Non-ObstructiveThrombosis

Prosthetic valve thrombosis is a serious complication with high mortality and morbidity. However, the best anticoagulant treatment strategies for patients with prosthetic heart valve thrombosis have not been fully known. In this study the investigators wanted to identify the most effective and safe regimen among different anticoagulant regimens.

Read the detailed description

Three different anticoagulant treatment regimens for patients with prosthetic heart valve non-obstructive thrombosis have been described. Patients are included in each group randomly. In the first arm only warfarin is given to the patients with a target INR level of 2.5-4. In the second arm 100 mg acetylsalicylic acid and a proton pump inhibitor are added to treatment in combination with warfarin. In the third arm 300 mg acetylsalicylic acid and a proton pump inhibitor are added to treatment in ombination with warfarin. Also there is an observational follow-up group of patients who do not have prosthetic heart valve thrombosis. These patients also are followed under only warfarin therapy with INR level of 2.5-4 . All patients are followed by serial transesophageal echocardiography performed every 6 months. Follow-up period is at least 6 months (range 6-60 months). Informed consent is taken from all patients.

What participants receive

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

  • WarfarinDrug

    Only warfarin is given with a target INR level of 2.5-4 to the patients with prosthetic heart valve thrombosis

  • Warfarin + ASA 100 mg + PPIDrug

    100 mg acetylsalicylic acid and a proton pump inhibitor are added to treatment in combination with warfarin for the patients with prosthetic heart valve thrombosis

  • Warfarin + ASA 300 mg + PPIDrug

    In the third arm 300 mg acetylsalicylic acid and a proton pump inhibitor are added to treatment in combination with warfarin for the patients with prosthetic heart valve thrombosis

  • Observational WarfarinDrug

    This is an observational group of patients who do not have prosthetic heart valve thrombosis. These patients also are followed under only warfarin therapy with INR level of 2.5-4.

What is being measured

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

  1. Decreased thrombus size

    Decreased thrombus size on control transesophageal echocardiography in the absence of fatal and non fatal major complications

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Same thrombus size

    Thrombus size remains as similar as the previous transesophageal echocardiographic examination findings in the absence of any fatal and non fatal major complications

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Increased thrombus size

    Increased thrombus size on control transesophageal echocardiography in the absence of fatal and non fatal major complications

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Complications

    Nonfatal major complication: Ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, embolism (coronary or peripheral), bleeding requiring transfusion

    Nonfatal minor complication: Bleeding without need for transfusion, TIA.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Warfarin, Warfarin + ASA 100 mg + PPI and Warfarin + ASA 300 mg + PPI in people with Thrombosis, run by Kartal Kosuyolu Yuksek Ihtisas Education and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 inclusion and 0 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Sep 2014. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Decreased thrombus size (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 4 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 16 Sep 2014.
