Trial Outcomes & Findings for Low-Dose Alteplase to Treat Blood Clots in Deep Leg Veins (NCT NCT00082355)

NCT ID: NCT00082355

Last Updated: 2014-11-06

Results Overview

The outcome measures the ability of Alteplase to lyse acute and subacute deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities and/or pelvis and restore venous function, or blood flow, to these areas. Restored venous function is also known as patency. Patency is measured by venography and ultrasound exams.

Participant Flow

Recruitment began in 2004 and was completed by 2009. All patients were treated at NIH Clinical Center.

2 patients who were incorrectly diagnosed with Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) were excluded from the protocol after a preliminary ultrasound exam at NIH indicated they did not have DVT.

Measure
Alteplase
Dose of Alteplase will not exceed 10 mg/d/leg and is delivered in a concentration of 100ug/mL. The actual dose delivered is based upon the length of the thrombosed vein and 1 mL is injected directly into each centimeter of a thrombosed vein in a lower extremity. The treatment will be repeated up to 4 times over a 5 day period.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: The number of participants analyzed is an Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population. The initial goal was to be able to evaluate outcomes of treatment of DVT with alteplase over a 6 month period in 25 patients. 30 patients were treated but two participants did not complete the study before being assessed for this outcome measure.

The outcome measures the ability of Alteplase to lyse acute and subacute deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities and/or pelvis and restore venous function, or blood flow, to these areas. Restored venous function is also known as patency. Patency is measured by venography and ultrasound exams.

28 participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 days

Population: The number of participants analyzed is an Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population. The accrual target was to analyze outcomes(immediate, at 6 weeks, and at 6months) after treatment of DVT with alteplase in 25 patients. 30 patients were treated but two participants did not complete the study for 6 week and 6 month outcome assessments.

The outcome measures the number of participants who developed hemorrhage after receiving up to 4 days of Alteplase treatment for DVT.
