Trial summary

Cancer is the most important acquired risk factor of thromboembolisms. More than 20% of all episodes of venous thromboembolism (VT) or pulmonary thromboembolisms (PT) are cancer related. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Time of Treatment With Low Molecular Weight Heparins in Cancer Patients With Thromboembolic Disease. Procoagulant Role of Phospholipid-dependent Microparticles.

Cancer is the most important acquired risk factor of thromboembolisms. More than 20% of all episodes of venous thromboembolism (VT) or pulmonary thromboembolisms (PT) are cancer related. Cancer patients with VT or PT are treated with low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) during at least 3 months, but nowadays the duration of treatment is not accurately determined.

The D-Dimer determination has been used like recurrence predictors after LMWH treatment suspension, but in cancer patients the useful is limited. Phospholipid-dependent microparticles could been used like recurrence predictors in cancer patients and tailored the duration of LMWH treatment for each patient.

Read the detailed description

We are carrying out a study in Cancer-associated-thromboembolism patients in order to decide the suitable anticoagulation time. A set of exclusion criteria is being used to determine in which patients LMWH will be withdrawn. Patients are being followed after LMWH withdrawal until 6 months. Blood samples are being taken at baseline (LMWH withdrawal), 3 weeks and 3 months after. We will look for association between several biomarkers and venous thromboembolism recurrences.

What is being measured

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

  1. Recurrence thromboembolisms

    Venous thromboembolisms or Pulmonary thromboembolism recurrence after LMWH suppression

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Recurrence thromboembolisms

    Venous thromboembolisms or Pulmonary thromboembolism recurrence after LMWH suppression

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Hemorrhagic events

    Hemorrhagic events due to LMWH treatment

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Thromboembolic event attributable death

    Death related to embolic event

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Venous Thromboembolism and Pulmonary Thromboembolisms, run by Delos Clinical.

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 3 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 May 2017. 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?

Recurrence thromboembolisms (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 2 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 1 May 2017.
