Thrombosis Outcomes in Pediatric Venous Thromboembolism

Study Purpose

'The TOP Study' is a prospective cohort study whose main objective is to develop better prognostic biomarkers and identify children at risk of adverse thrombotic outcomes very early in the course after an initial venous thromboembolic events (VTE). The study will compare biomarkers in children that develop poor VTE outcomes (such as recurrence, postthrombotic syndrome and post PE impairment ) after an initial VTE with those that do not develop such outcomes.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT03068923
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

All newly diagnosed patients with a first radiologically confirmed thrombotic event (any site) diagnosed at Children's Medical Center, Dallas will be followed prospectively with global coagulation assessment over a 24-month period, and monitored for development of carefully defined adverse VTE outcomes in a blinded manner. Biomarker assessment will include global coagulation assays (thrombin generation assay and modified thromboelastography to study fibrinolysis) at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months post VTE diagnosis.
