DEFIANCE: RCT of ClotTriever System Versus Anticoagulation In Deep Vein Thrombosis

This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial of an interventional strategy using the ClotTriever System to achieve and maintain vessel patency (ClotTriever Intervention Arm) versus conservative medical management using anticoagulation therapy alone (Conservative Medical Management Arm) in the treatment of subjects with symptomatic unilateral iliofemoral DVT. The study will collect data on demographics, comorbidities, details from the DVT diagnosis and treatment, and clinical outcomes through the 6-month follow up visit.

Bedside Bike Early Mobilization Program for Inpatients

Hospital immobility leads to serious complications including muscle loss, weakness, delirium, pressure ulcers, and blood clots. Despite being medically stable, hospitalized patients spend over 90% of their time in bed due to staffing shortages, fall risks, and limited physical therapy availability. Within one week of admission, patients can lose approximately 2% of thigh muscle mass per day, and nearly half develop clinically significant hospital-acquired weakness.The Bedside Bike is a portable, low-resistance exercise device that clamps securely to hospital beds, allowing patients to perform leg and arm cycling exercises safely without leaving their bed. This study will evaluate whether hospitalized patients at Indiana University Health facilities can feasibly and safely use the Bedside Bike to maintain mobility during their hospital stay.This quality improvement study will enroll 80 adult inpatients expected to stay at least 3 days. All participants will receive the Bedside Bike in addition to usual care (standard physical therapy and medical treatment). The study will measure how often patients use the device, whether it is safe (tracking any device-related problems), and whether it may help improve outcomes such as hospital length of stay, functional mobility scores, discharge to home, and rates of hospital-acquired weakness. Participants will have functional assessments at admission and discharge, use the Bedside Bike throughout their hospitalization (targeting at least 15 minutes daily), and be followed for 60 days after discharge to track readmissions, falls, living arrangements, and mortality.

Using a Blood Test and Software Tool to Guide Treatment for Venous Thromboembolism

The purpose of this study is to find out whether a software tool, ctDNA/VTE (Venous Thromboembolism) risk score model, is an effective way to predict the likelihood of VTE coming back in people who have received anticoagulant treatment.

FUVID Study: Functional Characterization of Children With Chronic Venous Thromboembolic Disease

This is a multi-center prospective cohort study of patients with first-episode deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

Second Line Endovascular Treatment in Acute DVT

The goal of this study is to fill the paucity of second line endovascular treatment for acute deep venous thrombus (DVT) by using catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) and mechanical thrombectomy (MT) as adjunctive second-line treatments for acute DVT patients who show no improvement after an initial anticoagulation trial for one week. The main questions the study aims to answer are: \- Are adjunctive use of endovascular interventional treatments as second-line to DVT treatment safe and efficient? Participants will be followed with repeat US at 1 week after initial DVT to assess for response to anticoagulation treatment. If there is significant residual thrombus with minimal or no response to treatment, participants will be offered enrollment to the study in the office or inpatient setting. Enrolled participants will be randomized into control or intervention arms with 1:1 ratio. Researchers will compare follow-up Villalta and Marder scores between groups to see whether endovascular interventions are safe and efficient.

A Study Comparing Abelacimab to Dalteparin in the Treatment of Gastrointestinal/Genitourinary Cancer and Associated VTE

This is a Phase 3, multicenter, open-label, blinded endpoint study to evaluate the effect of abelacimab relative to dalteparin on venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence and bleeding in patients with gastrointestinal (GI)/genitourinary (GU) cancer associated VTE (Magnolia)

CHIPs-VTE Study in Hospitalized Patients to Prevent Hospital-Acquired Venous Thromboembolism

Although pharmacologic and mechanical methods to prevent VTE are safe, effective, cost-effective, and advocated by authoritative guidelines,many studies continue to demonstrate that these preventive methods are significantly underutilized, especially in China.A number of quality improvements (QI) program have been established in several countries or hospitals.However,no exit effective protocol has been demonstrated well enough or adequate to drive breakthrough levels of improvement. A reliable and practical QI that can support hospitals or physicians in China is warranted.To evaluate the multifaceted quality improvement intervention effect in clinical setting, we will conduct a cluster-randomized clinical trial among China PUlmonary Thromboembolism REgistry Study (CURES) group, aiming to test whether it's applicable to real-world practice in China. A multicenter, two-arms, open-label clinical trial has been designed to determine whether the system-wide multifaceted intervention could increase the rate of at-risk participants who received prophylaxis (RP) and decrease the incidence of any hospital-associated VTE in 90 days during and after hospital admission. .Selected hospital will be regarded as a cluster and randomized into interventional or control group.In interventional group, eligible hospitalized patients will receive a variety of the multifaceted quality improvement(QI) interventions since admitted in hospital.In control group, patients will receive no more than common recommended care or an existing policy.The primary outcomes are the proportion of appropriate prophylaxis in hospitalized patients and the incidence of HA-VTE in 90 days after hospital admission.

Low Molecular Weight Heparin vs Direct Oral Anticoagulant After Bariatric Surgery

Extended Venous Thromboemboism Prophylaxis After Bariatric Surgeries: A Comparison Of Low Molecular Weight Heparin With Direct Oral Anticoagulant

Catheter-Related Early Thromboprophylaxis With Enoxaparin Studies

The goal of the CRETE Studies is to investigate the newly identified age-dependent heterogeneity in the efficacy of enoxaparin in reducing the risk of central venous catheter-associated deep venous thrombosis in critically ill children.
