Trial summary

The investigators study aims to test the correlation between the Hemochron Signature point-of-care testing (POCT) device (ITC, USA) and low plasma levels of all three currently approved direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC; rivaroxaban, apixaban and dabigatran) and to determine the diagnostic accuracy of POCT to rule out… Read more about this study

About this study

The investigators study aims to test the correlation between the Hemochron Signature point-of-care testing (POCT) device (ITC, USA) and low plasma levels of all three currently approved direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC; rivaroxaban, apixaban and dabigatran) and to determine the diagnostic accuracy of POCT to rule out or detect relevant levels of DOAC in real-life stroke patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Effect/Correlation of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) on Hemochron Signature point-of-care testing (POCT) result

    DOAC concentrations determined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Diagnostic accuracy of the Hemochron Signature POCT to rule out or detect relevant DOAC levels

    Measured: 24h

  2. Effect/Correlation of DOAC on prothrombin time (PT), activated thromboplastin time (aPTT), anti-Xa activity and Hemoclot assay

    Measured: 24h

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anticoagulation With Direct Oral Anticoagulants, run by University Hospital Tuebingen.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 1 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Effect/Correlation of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) on Hemochron Signature point-of-care testing (POCT) result (time frame: 24 hours). 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 NCT02371070, which also lists 2 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.

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 1 Jul 2016.
