June 2, 2015 updated by: Diagnostica Stago

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

No older than 80 years (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The study population tested will be recruited from ambulatory outpatients (presenting at the emergency unit or outpatient clinic) suspected of having DVT.
  • Patient is < 80 years old.
  • Patient presenting at least one of these symptoms indicative of proximal DVT: leg pain, tenderness (discomfort through palpation), leg swelling and /or edema,
  • Patient has confirmed proximal DVT by imaging
  • Low or moderate Wells score
  • Patient provides written informed consent to participate in the sample collection

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient presenting with a condition that may be associated with increased D-dimer levels, even in the absence of VTE, such as:

    1. Fibrinolytic therapy within the previous seven (7) days,
    2. Bone fracture or surgery (with general anesthesia longer than thirty (30) minutes) within the previous one (1) month,
    3. Deep hematoma diagnosed by imaging techniques within the previous one (1) month,
    4. Disseminated malignancies and active cancer (active cancer defined as: cancer for which therapeutic or palliative treatment is either ongoing at the time of enrolment or has stopped less than six (6) months before enrolment),
    5. Sepsis, severe infections, pneumonia within the previous 1 month,
    6. Known liver cirrhosis,
    7. Pregnancy or post-partum within the previous 1 month,
    8. Atherosclerotic vascular disease thrombosis within the previous 1month (e.g. myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary syndrome, peripheral artery disease stage III or IV),
    9. Sickle cell disease,
  • Patients presenting with a suspect thrombotic event related to catheter implantation
  • Ongoing therapeutic anticoagulants (curative and preventive treatment) starting twenty four (24) hours or more before the blood drawing for D-dimer testing

Design Details

Group / Cohort

Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT)
DVT diagnosed by imaging technique with a low or moderate Wells score

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
STA Liatest DDi results in DVT positive cases
Time Frame: At the initial visit (up to 24 hours)
Prospective, ambulatory outpatients (presenting to the emergency unit or outpatient clinic) suspected of having DVT, with a proximal positive imaging results, will be screened for eligibility using the inclusion and exclusion criteria (see Section above). Then the eligible patients will be evaluated using the Wells score and only patient with Low or moderate Pre-Test Probability (PTP) will receive full explanation concerning nature, objectives and risks associated to the participation in this study. Written informed consent will be obtained from each participating subject prior blood drawing, processing, plasma aliquoting and freezing at -80°C for D-Dimer testing (STA Liatest DDi). The whole process, starting from the moment the patient is diagnosed with DVT, should not exceed 24 hours.
At the initial visit (up to 24 hours)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
STA Liatest DDi Versus STA Liatest DDi Plus
Time Frame: At the initial visit (up to 24 hours)
Prospective, ambulatory outpatients (presenting to the emergency unit or outpatient clinic) suspected of having DVT, with a proximal positive imaging results, will be screened for eligibility using the inclusion and exclusion criteria (see Section above). Then the eligible patients will be evaluated using the Wells score and only patient with Low or moderate PTP will receive full explanation concerning nature, objectives and risks associated to the participation in this study. Written informed consent will be obtained from each participating subject prior blood drawing, processing, plasma aliquoting and freezing at -80°C for D-Dimer testing (STA Liatest DDi Plus). The whole process, starting from the moment the patient is diagnosed with DVT, should not exceed 24 hours
At the initial visit (up to 24 hours)

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Plasma bank for DDi measurements
Time Frame: At the initial visit (up to 24 hours)
Prospective, ambulatory outpatients (presenting to the emergency unit or outpatient clinic) suspected of having DVT, with a proximal positive imaging results, will be screened for eligibility using the inclusion and exclusion criteria (see Section above). Then the eligible patients will be evaluated using the Wells score and only patient with Low or moderate PTP will receive full explanation concerning nature, objectives and risks associated to the participation in this study. Written informed consent will be obtained from each participating subject prior blood drawing, processing, plasma aliquoting and freezing at -80°C for D-Dimer testing (STA Liatest DDi or STA Liatest DDi Plus to investigate unmatched results). The whole process, starting from the moment the patient is diagnosed with DVT, should not exceed 24 hours
