Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the ability of new D-Dimer assay combined with a clinical pretest probability (PTP) to safely exclude pulmonary embolism (PE) or Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) in a 3 month follow-up.

Detailed Description
The study population will be selected from prospective, consecutive ambulatory outpatients suspected of having venous thromboembolism. Patients will be diagnosed for VTE (PE or DVT) based on local standard of care. Samples will be collected for future testing with new D-Dimer assay.
In case of Low/Moderate PTP score and negative VTE diagnosis, patients will be followed for 3 months to evaluate potential development of deep venous thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
PE Patients presenting with PE suspicion. Diagnosis will be performed according to Standard of Care. Plasma samples will be collected if PTP score is Low or Moderate. If diagnosis is negative, patients will be followed for 3 months to evaluate potential VTE development. Enrolment completed for this group : 13th February 2020 |
Other: Plasma sampling
Additional blood draw or additional volume during blood draw
|
DVT Patients presenting with DVT suspicion. Diagnosis will be performed according to Standard of Care. Plasma samples will be collected if PTP score is Low or Moderate. If diagnosis is negative, patients will be followed for 3 months to evaluate potential VTE development. Enrolment on going |
Other: Plasma sampling
Additional blood draw or additional volume during blood draw

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- VTE Exclusion [Up to 4 months for patients with 3 months follow-up]
To demonstrate the ability of new D-Dimer assay combined with a clinical pretest probability (PTP) to safely exclude pulmonary embolism or deep venous thrombosis as measured by Negative Predictive Value and sensitivity
Eligibility Criteria

Patient provides written informed consent to participate in the study
-
Patient is willing to comply with specified follow-up evaluation at 3 months and can be contacted by telephone
Exclusion Criteria:

-
Sepsis, severe infections, pneumonia within the previous 1 month,
-
Known liver cirrhosis,
-
Pregnancy or having delivered within the previous 1 month,

Atherosclerotic vascular disease thrombosis within the previous 1month (e.g. myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary syndrome, peripheral artery disease stage III or IV),
-
Sickle cell disease,
-
Patients presenting with a suspect thrombotic event related to catheter implantation
-
Ongoing therapeutic anticoagulants (curative and preventive regimen) started twenty four (24) hours or more before blood draw (except aspirin and platelet inhibitors)
-
Previous anticoagulant therapy stopped less than three (3) months before blood draw (except aspirin and platelet inhibitors)
-
Patients with previous DVT/PE occurred less than three (3) months from screening.
-
Suspect thrombotic events in other locations at screening, including distal to the knee and upper extremity DVT (based on standard of care examinations)
-
Patients with known tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) deficiency
-
Patient participating or who has participated within one month of enrolment in another investigational study
-
Major co-morbid condition(s) or other reasons that could limit the patients ability to participate in the study or to comply with follow-up requirements, or impact the scientific integrity of the study.
