Comparing anticoagulants for platelet function analysis in hemostasis

Choice of Anticoagulant for Primary Hemostasis Studies With PFA200® (Platelet Function Analyser)

Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon · NCT06753838

This study is testing whether a new type of blood collection tube can give better results for patients with bleeding disorders compared to the standard tube used for checking how well blood clots.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of different anticoagulants in platelet function analysis, specifically comparing conventional citrate tubes with BAPA tubes. The PFA test will be performed on patients receiving hemostasis consultations at a specialized treatment center, where blood samples will be collected using both types of tubes. The goal is to determine if the BAPA tube, which uses a different mechanism to block coagulation, yields more reliable results with less technical difficulty. This could enhance the understanding of primary hemostasis and improve patient care in bleeding disorders.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults receiving hemostasis consultations who are undergoing a prescribed PFA test.

Not a fit: Patients who are under legal protection, pregnant, or unable to provide consent will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more accurate assessments of platelet function, improving diagnosis and treatment for patients with bleeding disorders.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is relatively novel, previous studies have indicated the importance of anticoagulant choice in platelet function testing, suggesting potential for success.
