Trial summary

Previous studies indicate an association between severe psychiatric disorders, such as bipolar disorder, and increased risk of venous thromboembolism. However, to which extent this association is influenced by lithium treatment is currently unknown. Read more about this study

About this study

Previous studies indicate an association between severe psychiatric disorders, such as bipolar disorder, and increased risk of venous thromboembolism. However, to which extent this association is influenced by lithium treatment is currently unknown. In this prospective cohort study, the investigators aim to investigate the effect of bipolar disorder and lithium treatment on coagulation and the counterpart fibrinolysis.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will analyse differences in coagulation

  • using a case-control design where cases are bipolar patients not yet treated with lithium, and controls are healthy volunteers (Swedish ethical review authority Dnr 2023-05799-02, PI Kristoffer Månsson, KI).
  • using a prospective cohort design, following the patients over time.

What is being measured

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

  1. Extracellular vesicles

    Counts of plasma extracellular vesicles originating from blood platelets, leukocytes and vascular endothelial cells.

    Measured: From enrollment to end of examination at 2 years

  2. Hemostatic potential

    Overall hemostatic potential (OHP), coagulation potential (OCP) fibrinolytic potential (OFP) i citrate plasma.

    Measured: From enrollment to end of examination at 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bipolar Disorder, run by Karolinska Institutet at 1 site in Sweden.

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 1 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Feb 2025. 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 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Extracellular vesicles (time frame: From enrollment to end of examination at 2 years). 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 19 Feb 2025.
