Trial summary

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) affects about 1,200,000 individuals each year in Europe. About 50% of VTE are unprovoked and 20% of these patients will face a recurrent event after the usual three to six-month course of anticoagulant treatment. Read more about this study

About this study

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) affects about 1,200,000 individuals each year in Europe. About 50% of VTE are unprovoked and 20% of these patients will face a recurrent event after the usual three to six-month course of anticoagulant treatment. To date, most patients are given prolonged anticoagulant treatment. However, anticoagulant treatment are associated with a major risk of bleeding (3%/year). Thus an accurate identification of patients with unprovoked VTE with a low risk of recurrence is needed to avoid unnecessary anticoagulant treatment with a risk of bleeding.

Over the past few years, microparticles (MPs) which are small vesicles originating from the budding of cellular membranes have emerged as important biological entities regulating hemostasis. MPs expose at their surface procoagulant molecules such as phosphatidylserin and tissue factor (TF). All data obtained in mouse models support a role of MPs in venous thrombosis mediated by the TF activation. Moreover, results from clinical studies showed that TF-MPs was associated with the risk of venous thrombosis. However, the predictive value of TF-MPs in the recurrence of VTE is unknown. Besides, no study has taken into account the recent progresses in the understanding of the role of MPs in haemostasis. Indeed, MPs vectorize molecules which are not only procoagulant but also profibrinolytic. The net result depends on a balance between both activities (the coagulo-lytic balance). This balance is can be measured by two complimentary assays on MPs.

We hypothesized that the coagu-lytic balance of MPs is associated with an increased risk of VTE recurrence after stopping the anticoagulant treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE), run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 29 Aug 2017. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Romaric Lacroix, MD (romaric.lacroix@ap-hm.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

coagu-lytic balance of MPs (time frame: 12 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 29 Aug 2017.
