About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Vascular Boot Warming Program After Acute DVT±PE for Earlier Resolution of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) and Prevention of Post Thrombotic Syndrome: A Pilot Study.

The Researchers are studying whether a vascular boot warming program plus standard of care anticoagulation can be a safe and effective method to resolve Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) ±Pulmonary Embolism (PE) earlier and prevent development of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Additionally, to learn whether a more detailed imaging of the affected lower extremities will provide a more accurate and reliable method to guide treatment for this condition.

Read the detailed description

Participants with diagnosis of acute lower extremity DVT (proximal and distal) and/or pulmonary embolism will be identified and approached for participation, when they are seen in the Thrombophilia Clinic or Mayo Hospital for management of the acute VTE. If they match the preset inclusion and exclusion criteria, they would then be consented during this visit and scheduled for baseline studies at a later date. Baseline tests include Venous plethysmorgraphy, Lower Extremity Ultrasound, and Medical history, will be conducted and if eligible, participant will then be randomized to vascular boot plus standard anti coagulation program or standard anti coagulation using a randomization program. Participants will be randomized into two groups and followed for 3 months. Standard of Care (SOC) Group (no vascular boot utilized): Patients will receive standard anticoagulation (determined at discretion of the treating provider), baseline studies, and follow up at the end of treatment (3months). Vascular Boot (VB) Group (includes vascular boot in addition to SOC): Patients will receive standard anticoagulation (determined at discretion of the treating provider), baseline studies and standardized vascular boot warming. All patients randomized to this group will wear the vascular boot for a minimum of 30 minutes per day for the first 10 days of participation. Patients in this group may initially be enrolled at either the thrombophilia clinic or the hospital.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Vascular BootCombination product

    Also called Rooke Boot

    The Vascular Boot is one size fits all, insulated fleece padding, and cell foam to enhance and maintain lower limb warmth while maintaining no pressure points on the lower extremity.

  • Standard of CareDrug

    Also called Heparin, Enoxaparin (Lovenox), Dalteparin (Fragmin), Warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven)

    Anticoagulant therapy will be decided by physician and patient.

Study groups in NCT03465735
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Standard of CareOtherUltrasound of the leg with DVT and leg circumference measurement at 3 days, 10 days, and 3 months. Ultrasound data will include data on thrombus resolution, such as size and recanalization present.
Receives: Drug: Standard of Care
Vascular Boot GroupOtherFor each vascular boot session, the following data will be recorded: Wearing the vascular boot during first 10 days of study for minimum of 30 minutes per day
Receives: Combination Product: Vascular Boot; Drug: Standard of Care

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Affected Leg Pain

    Affected leg pain measured on a 0-10 scale. 0 indicating No pain and 10 indicating Worst Possible Pain.

    Measured: baseline, 10 days

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?

Change in Affected Leg Pain (time frame: baseline, 10 days). 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 NCT03465735, which also lists 19 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.
