VENOUS THROMBOEMBOLISM

This study tests a device that removes blood clots from the lungs of people with acute pulmonary embolism (a sudden blockage in lung arteries). About 125 adults with severe symptoms will be treated, and doctors will check if the device safely improves heart function within 48 hou…

This study compares two common blood thinners—aspirin and low molecular weight heparin—to see which works better at preventing dangerous blood clots after surgery for bone or soft tissue cancer in the pelvis or leg. About 2,868 adults who have had or will have such surgery will b…

This study tests whether personalizing the length of blood thinner treatment after a first blood clot can prevent future clots while reducing bleeding risks. Over 600 adults who had a first clot filled out a questionnaire and provided a cheek swab to estimate their individual ris…

This study explores whether an Apple Watch can detect changes in walking, heart rate, breathing, and sleep in people with glioblastoma. Researchers aim to use this data to predict complications like seizures or blood clots before they happen. The study involves 25 adults with new…

This study looks at different ways to prevent dangerous blood clots (venous thromboembolism) in women undergoing gynecological surgery. Researchers will compare basic care, mechanical devices, and blood-thinning medications to see which is most cost-effective. The study uses medi…

This study tests whether a modified clinical program can improve how doctors assess and prevent blood clots (venous thromboembolism) in cancer patients receiving treatment. About 25 clinicians and their patients will take part. The program includes education for doctors and requi…

This study looks at medical records from 10,000 people who had sepsis (blood poisoning) and blood clots in their veins (VTE) while in the ICU. Researchers want to see if a serious clotting disorder called DIC happened before the blood clots formed. No new treatments or tests are …
