Could your family history predict Hormone-Related blood clots?
NCT ID NCT03206372
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is looking at whether women who have had a blood clot while using hormones (like birth control pills or during pregnancy) have family members who are also more likely to have had a clot. Researchers will compare the family history of these women with that of women who used hormones but never had a clot. The goal is to see if family history is a better way to predict risk than current blood tests. No new treatments are being tested.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help identify women at higher risk of blood clots from hormones based on family history, improving prevention advice.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not prove cause and effect, and results might not apply to all populations.

Who is studied
Definitions * cases are first-degree relatives (i.e., parents, siblings, children) of young women who have VTE during hormonal exposure; * controls are first-degree relatives (i.e., parents, siblings, children) of young women who did not have VTE during a similar hormonal exposure; * study subjects are first-degree relatives * propositi are young women on hormonal exposure, whether VTE was present of not * hormonal exposure is defined by estrogen-containg pill exposure (ongoing or stopped from less than 3 months) or pregnancy or post-partum (in the three months following delivery), in the absence of other provoking risk factors (such as surgery, prolonged immobilization or trauma of lower limbs in the past three months, or cancer in the past 2 years)

Eligibility criteria: \- Propositi with objectively confirmed proximal deep vein thrombosis (i.e. ultrasonography) or pulmonary embolism (i.e. lung scanning) in women (18 to 50 years) while on hormonal exposure. Inclusion criteria * First-degree relatives (biological parents, brothers, sisters, children) of women of childbearing age 18-50 years (propositus) with a first MVTE in the hormonal setting and matched control women in the same hormonal setting who have never had MVTE, consenting to first-degree relatives being contacted to participate in the present study. * Written consent from propositi and family members. Exclusion criteria * First-degree relatives whose propositus received preventive antithrombotic medication during pregnancy or contraception. * Family members of propositus who have had superficial or muscular venous thrombosis * No information can be obtained on first-degree relatives. * Family members under 16 years of age. * Vulnerable persons other than minors aged 16 to 18 (guardianship, curatorship). * Not affiliated to or not benefiting from a health insurance scheme.
