Who cannot join

  • CUS-proven acute symptomatic DVT within 6 months before current presentation;
  • Onset of symptoms suggestive of acute recurrent DVT more than 10 days prior to presentation;
  • Suspected acute PE;
  • Hemodynamic instability at presentation (as a consequence of concurrent acute PE or otherwise);

  • Non-compliance or inability to adhere to treatment or follow-up visits.
  • Patients with suspected acute, recurrent, ipsilateral DVT on therapeutic anticoagulant treatment > 48 hours at inclusion*

About this study

Official title: Advanced Diagnostic Management of Suspected Recurrent Ipsilateral Deep Vein Thrombosis of the Leg With Magnetic Resonance Direct Thrombus Imaging

The Theia-study is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm management (cohort) study.

Consecutive patients with clinically suspected acute, recurrent, ipsilateral, proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the leg, who fulfil all the inclusion criteria and meet none of the exclusion criteria, are eligible for inclusion and will be managed according to the result of a magnetic resonance direct thrombus imaging (MRDTI) of the affected leg. The MRDTI is to be performed and adjudicated within 24 hours of study inclusion. The final treatment decision will be made based on this ruling of the MRDTI. In case of a positive MRDTI signal, patients will be treated with therapeutically dosed anticoagulants or modified in patients with a recurrent DVT on anticoagulant therapy. Patients with a negative MRDTI ruling will be left untreated, or treatment will be remained unadjusted if they are on anticoagulant treatment at inclusion. All patients with negative MRDTI will be subjected to a standardized compression ultrasonography (CUS) within 48 hours after initial presentation. The latter CUS serves as a reference test in case the patient returns with symptoms of ipsilateral recurrence in the future, and will not be used for management decisions at baseline. The study flowchart can be found in Appendix A.

All patients will be followed for three months for the occurrence of acute recurrent venous thrombo-embolism (VTE). In case of suspected recurrent VTE, objective testing including either computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) for PE or CUS for DVT will be performed. Additionally, in case of a proven ipsilateral recurrent DVT during follow-up, MRDTI will be repeated.

What is being measured

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

  1. 3-month incidence of recurrent VTE in patients with negative MRDTI

    Primary outcome is subdivided in two main outcomes: 3-month incidence of recurrent VTE in 1) patients with negative MRDTI for both DVT and thrombophlebitis who were not treated with any anticoagulant during follow-up and 2) all patients with negative MRDTI for DVT; these recurrences need to be objectively confirmed by either CT (for acute PE), or CUS with the baseline CUS serving as reference.

    Measured: 3-month follow-up

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 3-month incidence of recurrent VTE in patients with normal D-dimer test and unlikely clinical probability according to the Wells clinical decision rule for DVT

    the 3-month incidence of recurrent VTE in patients with low probability Wells score and a normal D-dimer test at baseline

    Measured: 3-month follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MRDTI in people with Deep Vein Thrombosis, run by Leiden University Medical Center at 12 sites in 5 countries.

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 9 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 6 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in Netherlands, Canada, Israel, Norway, Sweden. 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?

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?

3-month incidence of recurrent VTE in patients with negative MRDTI (time frame: 3-month follow-up). 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 NCT02262052, which also lists 3 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 6 Sep 2019.
