NCT06736158

Brief Summary

The investigators aim to test the introduction of genomic testing early in the diagnostic pathway for inherited bleeding disorders in patients who have not received a diagnosis after first-line testing. The goal of this clinical trial is to test the introduction of genomic testing early in the diagnostic pathway for patients referred to Hematology for a suspected inherited bleeding disorder. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. 1.Does adding early genomic testing increase the number of patients who are diagnosed?
  2. 2.Does adding early genomic testing decrease the overall time to diagnosis?
  3. 3.Is it cost-effective to include early genomic testing in the diagnostic pathway?

Study Arms (2)

Early Genomic Testing Diagnostic Pathway

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive early genomic testing in addition to standard diagnostic testing.

Genetic: Genetic testing for inherited bleeding disorders

Standard Diagnostic Pathway

NO INTERVENTION

Participants will receive standard diagnostic testing with the option of receiving genomic testing after 12 months.

Interventions

Gene panel for bleeding: This analysis will look at a list of genes known to be associated with rare coagulation, platelet, connective tissue, and bleeding disorders. There are currently 318 genes on the panel however this list may be updated throughout the study. Genes of study include those on the the International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) TIER-1 (the first group of genes are the diagnostic-grade) and TIER-2 gene list, as well as additional genes identified in published research.

Eligibility Criteria

Age12 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • New patient referred for abnormal bleeding.
  • Hemostasis expert clinician determined abnormal bleeding history AND family history of bleeding
  • OR no family history of bleeding but hemostasis expert clinician determined severe bleeding history.

You may not qualify if:

  • Prior diagnosis of an inherited bleeding disorder.
  • Acquired cause of bleeding (i.e., medication known to cause bleeding, significant renal or hepatic disease)
