Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–80 who have been taking rivaroxaban or apixaban regularly for at least one month and who have suitable venous access are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

People with known personal or family clotting disorders, recent gastrointestinal bleeding, unexplained syncope, or other significant hematologic abnormalities are excluded and unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies

The Perosphere ClotChek is a handheld, battery-operated point-of-care instrument that measures whole blood clotting time (WBCT) using freshly drawn, non-citrated blood in disposable cuvettes. This observational protocol enrolls adults aged 18–80 who have been taking rivaroxaban or apixaban for at least one month and collects venous blood samples for WBCT measurement with the device. Collected WBCT values will be characterized as quantitative outputs across the enrolled DOAC-treated population to determine device performance. Study procedures are conducted at Perosphere sites in Connecticut and Maryland and at a collaborating clinical site in New Jersey.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the device could provide rapid bedside measurement of anticoagulant effect for patients on DOACs, aiding timely clinical decisions.

How similar studies have gone: Some point-of-care coagulation tests and anti-Xa assays have been used to gauge DOAC effects, but handheld quantitative WBCT devices like the ClotChek are relatively novel and not yet widely validated.
