About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study Assessing the Feasibility of a Randomized Controlled Trial Investigating Primary Thromboprophylaxis With Rivaroxaban in Patients With Malignancy and Central Venous Catheters

Purpose of the Pilot Trial:

To determine the feasibility of conducting a multicentre randomized open label controlled trial evaluating the use of prophylactic dose rivaroxaban to prevent central venous catheter (CVC) associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) among cancer patients.

Hypothesis: treatment with low dose rivaroxaban (10mg) will reduce the incidence of upper extremity venous thrombosis in a high risk population with cancer and CVC.

Read the detailed description

Design:

This is a pilot interventional study to be conducted at 2 Canadian Centres. The Ottawa Hospital and Juravinski Hospital. It is an open label randomized controlled trial.

Consenting participants, meeting eligibility criteria will be randomized at the time of enrollment to one of two groups.

Rivaroxaban 10mg by mouth daily x 90 (+/- 3) days OR Standard of Care

Participants in the treatment arm will have study drug dispensed at Day 1 and take medication for 90 days or until CVC is removed. Follow up visits (in person or phone) will occur at Day 30 (+/- 3 days) and Day 90 (+/- 3 days). Overall, participants will be followed for 3 months. Adverse events will be collected for the first 90 days.

Outcomes The primary feasibility outcome for the pilot study is the number of participants recruited per centre per month. We will obtain baseline details of the patient's type, location and treatment of cancer, comorbidities and medications. Secondary feasibility outcomes of the pilot study will include, consent rates, loss to follow up, adherence to therapy defining 80% or greater medication taken as having good adherence to study drug, proportion of screened patients who meet eligibility criteria.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Feasibility Outcome - Number of Participants Recruited Per Month

    A convenience sample size of 100 patients was chosen to allow reporting of the average monthly recruitment.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary Feasibility Outcomes - Percentage of Participants With Good Adherence to Therapy

    Good adherence defined as 80% or greater study medication taken in patients randomized to receive Rivaroxaban thromboprophylaxis.

    Measured: 90 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Rivaroxaban 10 MG in people with Upper Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis and Central Venous Catheter Thrombosis, run by Ottawa Hospital Research Institute at 1 site in Canada.

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 1 inclusion and 22 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 5 Jul 2024. 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 Canada. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Jul 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Primary Feasibility Outcome - Number of Participants Recruited Per Month (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT03506815, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Jul 2024.
