About this study

Official title: Effects of Injection Tinzaparin Prophylactic Dose (4,500 IU Anti-Xa) on Thrombin Generation in Patients With Multiple Myeloma, Lymphoma Patients and Patients Hospitalized for an Acute Medical Condition.

In cancer, the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is particularly high in patients with myeloma, especially when it is de novo and treated with thalidomide, lenalidomide or erythropoietin. Curiously, the prevention of VTE with LMWH (low-molecular-weight heparin) in myeloma seems no more effective than that achieved with aspirin, while the effectiveness of the latter in the primary prevention of VTE has never been demonstrated regardless of the type of population considered. Meanwhile, a biological study showed that prophylactic doses of LMWH in patients with different types of cancer did not always optimal reduction of thrombin peak during the 24 hours following the injection of LMWH. These clinical and biological studies lead to the conclusion that patients with myeloma may be resistant to the usual doses of preventive LMWH, which may explain the failure of prevention.

Initially we intend to investigate whether this resistance to prophylactic doses of LMWH is present in patient's biology and if this resistance is specific to myeloma in hematological cancers. For this, we propose to study the evolution of thrombin generation by Thrombinography during 24 hours after subcutaneous injection of 4500 anti-Xa IU Tinzaparin in 6 patients with de novo myeloma whit high thrombo embolic risk ie treated with thalidomide, lenalidomide or erythropoietin. LMWH is Tinzaparin chosen because it does not accumulate in patients with impaired renal function, and has a greater anti-biological activity thrombotic than other LMWH.

To assess whether the observed pattern of thrombin generation is particularly multiple myeloma, we will take the same study in 6 patients with aggressive lymphoma and 6 medical patients hospitalized for acute heart and respiratory failure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Endogenous Thrombin Potential (ETP, nM.min) for all patients with de novo myeloma with high thrombotic risk

    Endogenous Thrombin Potential (i.e. the aera under the thrombin generation curve, nM.min) is measured by Thromboplastin Generation Tests (TGTs) following a single injection of 4500 IU tinzaparin

    Measured: hours : 0, 3, 8, 18, 24

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Endogenous Thrombin Potential (ETP, nM.min) for all patients with aggressive lymphoma treated with chemotherapy

    Endogenous Thrombin Potential (i.e. the aera under the thrombin generation curve, nM.min) is measured by Thromboplastin Generation Tests (TGTs) following a single injection of 4500 IU tinzaparin

    Measured: hours : 0, 3, 8, 18, 24

  2. Endogenous Thrombin Potential (ETP, nM.min) for all patients with over 40 years hospitalized for heart or respiratory failure

    Endogenous Thrombin Potential (i.e. the aera under the thrombin generation curve, nM.min) is measured by Thromboplastin Generation Tests (TGTs) following a single injection of 4500 IU tinzaparin

    Measured: hours : 0, 3, 8, 18, 24

  3. Differences of Endogenous Thrombin Potential (ETP, nM.min) between group 1 and group 2 et 3

    Endogenous Thrombin Potential (i.e. the aera under the thrombin generation curve, nM.min) is measured by Thromboplastin Generation Tests (TGTs) following a single injection of 4500 IU tinzaparin

    Measured: hours : 0, 3, 8, 18, 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tinzaparin and Blood sample in people with Lymphoma and Multiple Myeloma, 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 3 inclusion and 11 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 11 May 2017. 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.

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?

Endogenous Thrombin Potential (ETP, nM.min) for all patients with de novo myeloma with high thrombotic risk (time frame: hours : 0, 3, 8, 18, 24). 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 11 May 2017.
