Trial summary

The study goal is to conduct a randomized controlled trial to compare safety and accuracy of dosing based on clinical information including the clinical reason for your taking coumadin, your age, gender, your body surface area, and other medical conditions you may have with dosing estimated by a dosing calculator… Read more about this study

About this study

The study goal is to conduct a randomized controlled trial to compare safety and accuracy of dosing based on clinical information including the clinical reason for your taking coumadin, your age, gender, your body surface area, and other medical conditions you may have with dosing estimated by a dosing calculator which adjusts for factors affecting coumadin dosing variability including genotypes for genes important in Coumadin metabolism and response. The hypothesis to be tested by this trial states that:when compared to patients managed with a best practices standard-of-care coumadin dosing regimen, patients randomized to coumadin dosing based on genetically programmed metabolic capacity and other known clinical and environmental factors affecting dose will: 1)show reduced risk of adverse events (using surrogate measures of such events); and 2)more rapidly achieve Coumadin dosing.

  2. absolute deviation from clinically optimal dose

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. time to stable dose in therapeutic target range

  2. warfarin related adverse drug events

  3. time to first INR above 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Coumadin in people with Atrial Fibrillation and Deep Venous Thrombosis, run by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) at 2 sites 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 4 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jun 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Deborah J Hilgemann, Res. Coord. (715-389-3774 ext. same, hilgemann.deborah@marshfieldclinic.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

weighted time in therapeutic range. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00484640, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 11 Jun 2007.
