NCT02825394

Brief Summary

The investigators study aims to test the correlation between the Cascade Abrazo point-of-care testing (POCT) device (Helena Laboratories, USA) and plasma levels of apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban and rivaroxaban, and to determine the diagnostic accuracy of POCT to rule out or detect relevant levels of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) in real-life patients.

    24 hours

  • Correlation of DOAC plasma concentrations with laboratory-based prothrombin time (PT) assay

    24 hours

  • Correlation of DOAC plasma concentrations with laboratory-based activated thromboplastin time (aPTT) assay

    24 hours

  • Correlation of DOAC plasma concentrations with laboratory-based thrombin time (TT) assay

    24 hours

  • Correlation of DOAC plasma concentrations with laboratory-based diluted thrombin time (dTT) assay

    24 hours

  • +7 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

Part A: patients, who are newly started on oral anticoagulation with apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban or rivaroxaban for secondary prevention of thromboembolic events. Part B: patients, on-treatment with apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban or rivaroxaban.

You may qualify if:

  • Part A only: planned initiation of treatment with apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban or rivaroxaban
  • Part B only: ongoing treatment with apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban or rivaroxaban
  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Written informed consent by patient

You may not qualify if:

  • Part A only: intake of vitamin K antagonists or direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) ≤ 14 days prior to study participation
  • Part B only: intake of vitamin K antagonists or different DOAC ≤ 14 days prior to study participation
  • Intake of unfractionated heparin ≤ 12 hours, low-molecular-weight heparin ≤ 24h, heparinoids (e.g. fondaparinux) ≤ 72h, or direct thrombin inhibitors other than dabigatran ≤ 72h prior to study participation
  • Part A only: abnormal routine coagulation test values at baseline (defined by INR \> 1.2, Quick \< 70% or aPTT \> 40 sec)
  • History of coagulopathy
