Evaluating a new decision support tool for diagnosing blood clots

Exclusion of Venous Thrombo-Embolism With a New Clinical Decision Support With Fresh Plasma, on Any Patient With VTE Suspicion

Diagnostica Stago R&D · NCT06480994

This study is testing a new tool to help doctors diagnose blood clots in patients who might have conditions like pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis, using fresh blood samples.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the diagnostic performance of a Clinical Decision Support tool using fresh plasma samples compared to frozen plasma samples in patients suspected of having venous thromboembolism (VTE), including pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The study will analyze various patient subpopulations, including those with different clinical probabilities and specific conditions such as active cancer or COVID-19. Participants will receive standard care while their diagnostic outcomes are evaluated against established reference diagnoses.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include patients with suspected pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis who are eligible for D-dimer assays.

Not a fit: Patients currently receiving anticoagulant or fibrinolytic treatment, or those under legal protection, may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the accuracy of diagnosing venous thromboembolism, leading to better patient outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on diagnostic tools for VTE, this specific approach comparing fresh and frozen plasma is relatively novel.
