Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All patients will be subjected to: On admission: Detailed history for assessment of risk factors Clinical examination: Laboratory investigations. Trans-thoracic echocardiography to detect signs of PE: MSCT pulmonary angiography: for assessment of site, size and shape of pulmonary embolism. PESI and sPESI scores will be calculated for all patients. In hospital follow up: During hospital stay all patients will be followed up daily for assessment of hemodynamic, oxygen saturation, TTE, troponin level, need of mechanical ventilation or death. One month follow up after discharge: for the assessment of: Hemodynamic. Transthoracic echocardiography. MSCT pulmonary angiography.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients diagnosed with acute intermediate-high pulmonary embolism

Who cannot join

  • Patients less than 18 years of age.
  • Low risk, intermediate low risk, acute pulmonary embolism
  • patients with RV masses will be excluded.
  • Patient refusal of treatment strategy.

Study groups in NCT06545864
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
patients who received systemic thrombolysispatients have been diagnosed with acute intermediate-high pulmonary embolism received I.V. streptokinase if there are no contraindications.
Receives: Drug: Streptokinase Injection
patients who underwent catheter-based interventionpatients have been diagnosed with acute intermediate-high pulmonary embolism underwent catheter-based intervention including thrombus aspiration or catheter directed thrombolysis using Penumbra System
Receives: Device: Penumbra System

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in blood pressure

    Measured: during hospital stay (about 1 week) and one month after discharge

  2. Change in heart rate

    Measured: during hospital stay (about 1 week) and one month after discharge

  3. Change in respiratory rate

    Measured: during hospital stay (about 1 week) and one month after discharge

  4. Change of O2 saturation.

    Measured: during hospital stay (about 1 week)

  5. Change of RV signs of PE by Transthoracic echocardiography

    Measured: during hospital stay (about 1 week) and one month after discharge

  6. Need for mechanical ventilation.

    Measured: during hospital stay (about 1 week)

  7. Need for surgical intervention.

    surgical embolectomy

    Measured: during hospital stay (about 1 week)

  8. Duration of hospital stay.

    Measured: during hospital stay (about 1 week)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. incidence of Perforation of pulmonary artery

    may occur during catheter directed interventions

    Measured: during hospital stay (about 1 week)

  2. incidence of pericardial effusion

    due to: infection cardiac perforation during catheter directed interventions

    Measured: during hospital stay (about 1 week) and one month after discharge

  3. incidence of Major bleeding

    that requires blood transfusions or urgent intervention

    Measured: during hospital stay (about 1 week) and one month after discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Pulmonary Embolism, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2024. 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 Egypt. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact mariam J william (01009083119, mariamjoseph1997@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in blood pressure (time frame: during hospital stay (about 1 week) and one month after discharge). The study lists 8 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 9 Aug 2024.
