High-speed centrifugation to enable anti-Xa testing on lipemic (fatty) blood samples
Official title: Interest of High-speed Centrifugation for Measuring Anti-Xa Activity on Lipemic Plasma
Run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France · NCT07200674 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This will test whether spinning fatty (lipemic) blood samples very fast helps the lab get accurate anti-Xa measurements for adults on anti-Xa anticoagulant medications.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18) who are receiving anti-Xa anticoagulants and have blood samples sent to the CHU de Strasbourg Hematology Laboratory for anti-Xa measurement are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with naturally high baseline lipemia or samples that do not have enough volume are excluded and are unlikely to benefit from this process.

What this trial studies
Many anti-Xa assays rely on spectrophotometric readings that can be distorted when a sample is lipemic, a problem affecting a small percentage of routine samples. This observational project uses routine adult anti-Xa samples, artificially overloaded with lipids when needed, to see if a high-speed centrifugation step (10,800g for 10 minutes) clears the interference. Samples will come from patients already anticoagulated with agents monitored by anti-Xa (UFH, LMWH, fondaparinux, danaparoid, apixaban, rivaroxaban) and processed at the CHU de Strasbourg hematology laboratory. Samples with pre-existing high baseline lipemia or insufficient volume are excluded.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, labs could obtain reliable anti-Xa results from lipemic samples, reducing repeat blood draws and improving anticoagulant dosing decisions.
How similar studies have gone: There are small laboratory reports suggesting centrifugation can reduce lipemia interference, but no large validated studies specifically confirm high-speed centrifugation reliably restores anti-Xa measurements.
