Not applicable Interventional University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand · NCT05641142

This study is testing how well people with Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia can handle new blood-thinning treatments compared to not using them, to find out which ones work best for them.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to assess the tolerance of anticoagulant and/or antiplatelet therapy in patients with Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) by comparing a new treatment exposure period to a reference non-exposure period. Participants will be monitored over two years, with evaluations including biological monitoring of ferritin and hemoglobin levels, as well as questionnaires assessing epistaxis severity and quality of life. The study seeks to identify which therapies are best tolerated in this patient population, where current treatment guidelines are lacking.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 18 years old diagnosed with Rendu-Osler disease who have recently started antiplatelet and/or anticoagulant therapy.

Not a fit: Patients who have not started treatment or have been on treatment for more than three months, as well as pregnant or breastfeeding women, may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide critical insights into effective management strategies for patients with Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia, potentially improving their quality of life.

How similar studies have performed: While there is limited guidance on anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy in Rendu-Osler disease, this study represents a novel approach to understanding treatment tolerance in this specific patient population.
