Trial summary

Venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) is a frequent and potentially serious pathology. Therapeutic management has improved considerably over the last few decades, enabling the application of codified management in line with the recently updated French management recommendations.

About this study

Venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) is a frequent and potentially serious pathology. Therapeutic management has improved considerably over the last few decades, enabling the application of codified management in line with the recently updated French management recommendations.

One of the main remaining difficulties concerns VTE sequelae, mainly post-thrombotic syndrome after deep vein thrombosis, and post-pulmonary embolism syndrome after pulmonary embolism. The mechanisms leading to the absence of complete repermeabilization of vessels affected by Venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) are still poorly understood.

The concept of immunothrombosis, closely associating immunity, inflammation and thrombosis, could (in part) explain the appearance of these sequelae. Platelets appear to play a key role in the onset of sequelae: Platelets are known to be involved both in the onset of a VTE episode and in the inflammatory response. This involvement is illustrated by the expression of inflammatory receptors such as TLR (toll-like receptor) 2 and TLR4.

Th aim to investigate the role of platelets in the occurrence of sequelae, mainly via their role in the inflammatory response, in Venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. expression of TLR2/ TRL4

    The characteristic membrane profile of the inflammatory role of platelets is quantified by TLR2/TLR4 receptors expression using flow cytometry.

    This profile will be compared between patients with VTE sequelae (objectified during follow-up, and defined in accordance with good practice recommendations) 20,21 and patients without VTE sequelae.

    • A patient with sequelae corresponds to patients who will present during follow-up with a post-thrombotic syndrome (defined by a Villalta score greater than or equal to 5) and/or a post-pulmonary post-pulmonary embolism syndrome (defined by NYHA stage II, III or IV dyspnea, and the presence of perfusion perfusion sequelae on lung scintigraphy).

    Measured: at day1 and at 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Analysis of characteristic soluble profile of the inflammatory role of platelets

    The characteristic soluble profile of the inflammatory role of platelets associated with the existence of sequelae remote from the acute episode of VTE, is quantified by blood assay of platelet immunomodulatory factors (ELISA technique): soluble CD62P, HMGB1, RANTES, PF4, soluble CD40L

    Measured: at day1 and at 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Venous Thromboembolism, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne 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 4 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2026. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Challenges in inclusion). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

expression of TLR2/ TRL4 (time frame: at day1 and at 6 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 8 May 2026.
