  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Primary care clinic, community sample and residents of a community

Who may be able to join

  • VTE events will be included if:
  • they are identified by at least one Read code diagnosis of acute VTE in the CPRD, or one ICD-10 code of VTE in the HES database, during the study period; and
  • they occurred in patients ≥ 18 years old at time of VTE occurrence; and

About this study

Official title: Anticoagulation Treatment Patterns and Persistence After Acute Venous Thromboembolism in the UK in Routine Clinical Practice: A Retrospective Database Study of the Clinical Practice Research Datalink and the Hospital Episode Statistics Dataset

This study will utilize a retrospective cohort design. Using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) linked with Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) datasets, all patients with a record of VTE diagnosis between 1 April, 2008 and 31 March, 2013 will be identified and followed from the occurrence of VTE (index date) to the first of 24 months after the index date, end of the study period, leaving the database, or death.

What is being measured

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

  1. Anticoagulation treatment patterns for patients following acute Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) based on all VTE events that occur during the study period

    Anticoagulation treatment pattern includes type of anticoagulant (AC), duration of AC treatment, switching between ACs and switching from AC to aspirin or other antiplatelet agents (APA).

    Measured: up to 24 months following VTE occurrence

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Demographic characteristics (age, gender) of patients with acute VTE

    Measured: up to 24 months following VTE occurrence

  2. Clinical characteristics (comorbidities, concomitant treatments, medical and surgical history) of patients with acute VTE

    Measured: up to 24 months following VTE occurrence

  3. Rates of unplanned (emergency) hospital admission, major surgery, major bleeding, and VTE recurrence

    Measured: up to 24 months following VTE occurrence

  4. Baseline demographic and clinical characteristics associated with the duration of AC treatment after VTE

    Measured: up to 24 months following VTE occurrence

  5. Baseline demographic and clinical characteristics associated with novel oral anticoagulant (NOAC) treatment compared with vitamin K antagonist (VKA) treatment following VTE

    Measured: up to 24 months following VTE occurrence

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Venous Thromboembolism, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb.

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 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 22 Jan 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?

Anticoagulation treatment patterns for patients following acute Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) based on all VTE events that occur during the study period (time frame: up to 24 months following VTE occurrence). 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 22 Jan 2016.
