About this study

Official title: Pharmacoepidemiology Treatment of Symptomatic Pulmonary Embolism in Hospitalized Patients Aged 75 Years or More: Prospective, Multicenter Cohort Study PEAGE

The treatment of the venous thromboembolic disease, including pulmonary embolism (PE), is based on anticoagulants. During the last decade, all the randomized clinical trials evaluating these anticoagulants have included PE patients with an average age below 60 years. But in clinical pratice, approximately 50% of PE patients are older than 75 years.

So the investigators want to perform a french multicentre prospective cohort of consecutive patients receiving an anticoagulant treatment for a symptomatic and confirmed PE. All the validated and available anticoagulant treatments are authorized in this cohort (unfractionnated and low molecular weight heparins, fondaparinux, vitamin K antagonists and direct oral anticoagulants).

Read more

This cohort will provide data regarding the bleeding risk and the risk of PE recurrences and regarding the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of these anticoagulants in this older population. Using population approach modelling , the investigators will pay particular attention to the sources of PK/PD variability PK / PD such as genetic polymorphisms of P-glycoprotein and cytochrome P450.

Using all these data , the investigators will try to identify significant risk factors for bleeding and venous thromboembolic events.

What is being measured

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

  1. Major bleeding defined by the International Society of Thrombosis & Haemostasis

    • Bleeding causing a fall in hemoglobin level of 20 g L-1 (1.24 mmol L-1) or more, or leading to transfusion of two or more units of whole blood or red cells.,
    • Symptomatic bleeding in a critical area or organ, such as intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular, retroperitoneal, intra-articular or pericardial, or intramuscular with compartment syndrome,
    • Fatal bleeding

    Measured: at 6 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Clinically relevant non-major bleeding

    defined by:

    • Subcutaneous hematoma spontaneous over 25 cm2
    • Spontaneous epistaxis for more than 5 minutes
    • Spontaneous or after urinary catheter hematuria for more than 24 hours
    • Significant rectal bleeding
    • Gingival bleeding for more than 5 minutes
    • Bleeding requiring hospitalization and / or a hemostatic action

    Measured: at 6 months

  2. Recurrent pulmonary embolism

    confirmed by CT scan or ventilation/perfusion lung scan

    Measured: at 6 months

  3. Deep vein thrombosis (recurrence or new)

    confirmed by venous doppler ultrasonography or venography of the lower limbs or CT scan

    Measured: at 6 months

  4. Arterial cardiovascular events

    • Acute coronary syndrom with or without ST-segment elevation
    • Stroke ischemic or hemorrhagic confirmed by CT scan or magnetic resonance imaging brain
    • Acute ischemic phenomena (lower limbs, mesenteric ...) confirmed by arterial doppler or arteriography.

    Measured: at 6 months

  5. Death

    Measured: at 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Elderly and Pulmonary Embolism, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 20 sites 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 25 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites 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?

Major bleeding defined by the International Society of Thrombosis & Haemostasis (time frame: at 6 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Aug 2022.
