About this study

Official title: D-dimer to Improve Anticoagulation Management in Adult Patients Supported With Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: a Prospective Cohort Study

This was a prospective, cohort study.

Read the detailed description

Adult Patients receiving ECMO surpport in Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital were enrolled by cohort. Unfractionated heparin was used for Anticoagulation therapy, APTT or Anti-Xa activity is monitored for dose adjustment. Meanwhile, D-dimer is mornitored. If D-dimer levels continue to rise (>1.5 times previous result ), increase the dose of heparin to reach the upper limit of the treatment target; If the D-dimer levels is stable (<1.5 times previous result ) or is decreasing, the anticoagulation dose is maintained at current level (no active bleeding) or decreased (active bleeding). All patients were followed up The occurrence of endpoints during in-hospital and 30 days after discharge, including bleeding events, thrombotic events and all-cause deaths were recorded.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing D-dimer-guided adjustment stratege and Thepeautic-heparin therapy in people with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Complication and Thrombosis, run by Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 18 Apr 2023. 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 China. 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?

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?

Thrombotic events (time frame: 24 months). 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?
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 18 Apr 2023.
