Rivaroxaban for the Treatment of Symptomatic Isolated Distal Deep Vein Thrombosis (RIDTS)

November 24, 2018 updated by: Walter Ageno
The treatment of isolated distal deep vein thrombosis remains one of the most debated issues in the field of venous thromboembolism and only very few studies have directly addressed the issue of treatment in objectively confirmed isolated distal deep vein thrombosis. Aim of this study is to assess the long-term risk of recurrent venous thrombotic events in patients with a first acute symptomatic isolated distal deep vein thrombosis of the leg treated with a standard (12 weeks) or with a shorter (6 weeks) duration of therapy with rivaroxaban.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Objective diagnosis of isolate distal deep vein thrombosis within 72 hours from the evaluation for inclusion in the study and if any type of parenteral treatment was administered at therapeutic doses for 3 days or less (maximum accepted doses of low molecular weight heparin: 6 doses; of fondaparinux: 3 doses).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Age < 18 years
  • Any absolute contraindication to anticoagulant treatment
  • Pregnancy or breast-feeding
  • Presence of active cancer
  • Concomitant presence of proximal deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism
  • Any concomitant indication for long-term anticoagulant treatment
  • Creatinine clearance ≤30 ml/min, according to Cockcroft-Gault equation
  • Cirrhosis Child-Pugh score B or C
  • Liver disease associated with coagulopathy and high risk of bleeding
  • Any other contraindication to rivaroxaban as per local SmPC
  • Failure to provide written informed consent

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.

Rate of recurrent venous thromboembolism
Time Frame: 24 months
Recurrent venous thromboembolism defined as new deep vein thrombosis, extension of distal deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism

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.
