About this study

Official title: Characterizing the Impact and Treatment of Reproductive Tract Bleeding on Women and Post-menarchal Girls With Bleeding Disorders.

Characterizing the impact and treatment of reproductive tract bleeding on women and post-menarchal girls with bleeding disorders.

Objectives: This is a cross-sectional observational study of women and girls (WG) with bleeding disorders enrolled in the American Thrombosis and Hemostasis Network (ATHN) dataset. Based on the investigators' study of currently available data of WG with bleeding disorders in the ATHNdataset, the investigators hypothesize that the information currently captured in the core data elements of the ATHNdatasest does not adequately capture data specific to WG with bleeding disorders. Further, the investigators hypothesize that it is feasible for Hemophilia Treatment Centers (HTCs) to include data points specific to WG with bleeding disorder when enrolling participants in the ATHNdataset. This hypothesis will be evaluated through the following specific aims:

Specific Aim 1: Characterize reproductive tract bleeding in a cohort of WG with bleeding disorders cared for at US HTCs.

Specific Aim 2: Characterize the treatment strategies for and the impact of heavy menstrual bleeding in a cohort of females with bleeding disorders cared for at HTCs.

Specific Aim 3: Evaluate the feasibility of adding female specific core data points to the ATHNdataset.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center, cross-sectional study of women and girls with bleeding disorders receiving care at Hemophilia Treatment Centers (HTCs). To further characterize this population, WG who receive care at federally funded US HTCs will be approached regarding participation. Following assent and/or consent, participants will be asked to complete a series of forms. In order to assess their bleeding symptoms, they will complete the self-BAT (Bleeding Assessment Tool) as well as the Menstrual Bleeding Questionnaire (MBQ). In order to assess their quality of life, they will complete the PROMIS-29 quality of life inventories. Patients may be contacted if they miss a question on any of these forms. Phone call should take no more than 15 minutes. Study staff will complete an intake form which includes data regarding bleeding disorder diagnosis as well as treatment, using information obtained from the patient, chart review, and the ATHNdataset.

Hemophilia A, Hemostatic Disorders

What is being measured

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

  1. Reproductive tract bleeding will be characterized utilizing the ISTH-BAT(International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis Bleeding Assessment Tool)

    The ISTH-BAT is the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis Bleeding Assessment Tool and can be self-administered. It provides an overall bleeding score as well as information about specific bleeding symptoms.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Reproductive tract bleeding will be characterized utilizing the Menstrual Bleeding Questionnaire.

    The Menstrual Bleeding Questionnaire is a patient reported outcome tool specific to the symptom of menstrual bleeding. It is also self-administered.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Reproductive tract bleeding will be characterized by reviewing the medical history

    Utilizing the current ATHNdataset data forms, the medical history will be reviewed and symptoms and diagnoses specific to menstrual bleeding will be entered.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Identify treatment strategies for heavy menstrual bleeding through patient report

    Utilizing a form previously developed, participants will indicate previous treatments utilized for heavy menstrual bleeding and rank their effectiveness.

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Evaluate impact through quality of life tool (PROMIS-29)

    Participants will complete the PROMIS-29 quality of life tool.

    Measured: 1 year

  6. Evaluate impact through quality of life tool (EQ-5D)

    Participants will complete the EQ-5D quality of life tool.

    Measured: 1 year

  7. Evaluate the feasibility of entering female specific core data points to the ATHNdataset.

    Study site coordinators will complete a feasibility questionnaire regarding the challenges of adding female specific data to the ATHNdataset.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemophilia A and Bleeding Disorder, run by Oregon Health and Science University at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 4 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 18 Apr 2023. 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 United States. 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?

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?

Reproductive tract bleeding will be characterized utilizing the ISTH-BAT(International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis Bleeding Assessment Tool) (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 7 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 18 Apr 2023.
