Trial summary

The goals of this study are: 1. To assess the safety of bivalirudin in infants under six months with arterial or venous thrombosis; 2. To determine the dose of bivalirudin required to achieve adequate anticoagulation as measured by the activated clotting time (ACT) or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) in… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pilot Dose Finding And Efficacy Study Of Angiomax® (Bivalirudin) As Primary Anticoagulation In Infants Under Six Months With Thrombosis

The goals of this study are:

  1. To assess the safety of bivalirudin in infants under six months with arterial or venous thrombosis;
  2. To determine the dose of bivalirudin required to achieve adequate anticoagulation as measured by the activated clotting time (ACT) or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) in Infants Under Six Months with arterial or venous thrombosis;
  3. To determine the outcome of patients on bivalirudin with respect to thrombus resolution and bleeding complications compared to patients on unfractionated heparin (UH) or low molecular weight heparin (LMWH).

What participants receive

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

  • Angiomax (bivalirudin)Drug

What is being measured

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

  1. Observation of improvement for thrombosis or by clinical exam such as: Decrease in size of thrombus, restoration of flow through an occluded vessel, decrease in diameter of extremity or head.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. In addition, efficacy will also be judged by demonstrating a decrease in the molecular markers of thrombin generation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Angiomax (bivalirudin) in people with Thrombosis, run by The Medicines Company 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 6 inclusion and 10 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 1 Feb 2006. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Observation of improvement for thrombosis or by clinical exam such as: Decrease in size of thrombus, restoration of flow through an occluded vessel, decrease in diameter of extremity or head.. 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 1 Feb 2006.
