Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Prospective investigation of the incidence of anti-platelet factor 4 antibodies in suspected immune-associated arterial and/or venous thrombosis

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients with venous and/or arterial thrombosis aged 18 to 60 years are included.Thromboses should have occurred spontaneously or within 30 days after an infection or vaccination. In addition, patients with recurrent thrombosis, despite anticoagulation, are also included in the study. The primary aim of the study is to determine the incidence of anti-platelet factor 4 antibodies in relation to venous and/or arterial thrombosis. For this purpose, we will take a blood sample from the patients within 120 days of the occurrence of the thrombosis.

As a secondary objective, platelet count, D-dimer and results of a thrombophilia screening as well as thrombosis localization are recorded.

Spontaneous arterial and/or venous thrombosis

Patients with spontaneous arterial and/or venous thrombosis

Determination of anti-platelet factor 4 antibodies in the blood

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The anti-platelet factor 4 antibodies in the blood are determined using latex agglutination and the chemiluminescence method in the coagulation laboratory of the CCB MVZ laboratory. In addition, the platelet factor 4-induced platelet activation test (PIPA test) and the heparin-induced platelet activation test (HIPA test) as well as an ELISA-based platelet factor 4 IgG antibody test (Prof. Greinacher, Greifswald University Hospital) will be performed as part of the routine work up.

In addition a new assay for heparin-independent anti-PF4 antibody detection provided by the company Werfen using chemiluminescence will be performed.

Infection-associated arterial and/or venous thrombosis

Patients with infection-associated arterial and/or venous thrombosis

Determination of anti-platelet factor 4 antibodies in the blood

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The anti-platelet factor 4 antibodies in the blood are determined using latex agglutination and the chemiluminescence method in the coagulation laboratory of the CCB MVZ laboratory. In addition, the platelet factor 4-induced platelet activation test (PIPA test) and the heparin-induced platelet activation test (HIPA test) as well as an ELISA-based platelet factor 4 IgG antibody test (Prof. Greinacher, Greifswald University Hospital) will be performed as part of the routine work up.

Vaccine-associated arterial and/or venous thrombosis

Patients with vaccine-associated arterial and/or venous thrombosis

Determination of anti-platelet factor 4 antibodies in the blood

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The anti-platelet factor 4 antibodies in the blood are determined using latex agglutination and the chemiluminescence method in the coagulation laboratory of the CCB MVZ laboratory.
