Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND:

The study, a subproject within a SCOR in Thrombosis, should help to improve the long-term clinical outcome of patients with proximal deep-vein thrombosis (popliteal, femoral or iliac vein thrombosis) by improving their survival and reducing morbidity from recurrent thromboembolic events, and should help to determine if one or more specific biochemical measures, including antiphospholipid antibodies and activated factor VII, will define a subset of patients at increased risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism.

The study is part of a SCOR in Hemostatic and Thrombotic Diseases, the RFA for which was released by the NHLBI in April 1994.

DESIGN NARRATIVE:

Warfarin Trial

A multicenter, randomized clinical trial was conducted from March 1996 through January 2001 comparing warfarin therapy for three years to warfarin therapy for three months. The study was performed at thirteen participating hospitals in Oklahoma. The 600 hundred patients were recruited, randomized to either warfarin therapy for three years or warfarin therapy for three months and followed for at least three years. The primary outcome measure was total mortality. Secondary outcome measures included vascular death, objectively documented recurrent venous thromboembolism, and bleeding complications (major and minor). Additional specific aims included: determining the prevalence of antiphospholipid antibodies, antithrombomodulin antibodies, and activated protein C resistance in consecutive patients with proximal-vein thrombosis; determining if these measures, and/or the level of activated factor VII were associated with an increased risk of recurrent venous thromboembolic events, and if so, whether these events were reduced by continuing long term warfarin treatment. These latter specific aims were achieved by performing the laboratory parameters concurrently in patients entered into the clinical trial, and relating these measures to the clinical outcomes on long-term follow-up.

The study completion date listed in this record was obtained from the "End Date" entered in the Protocol Registration and Results System (PRS) record.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Venous Thrombosis and Cardiovascular Diseases, run by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 13 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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 13 May 2016.
