The purpose of this study is to find out whether a software tool, ctDNA/VTE (Venous Thromboembolism) risk score model, is an effective way to predict the likelihood of VTE coming back in people who have received anticoagulant treatment.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility of two different preoperative hemodialysis schedules for people with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) who undergo surgical procedures. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is it feasible to randomize participants with ESKD undergoing nonemergent surgical procedures to same-day hemodialysis versus no same-day hemodialysis? Is it safe to randomize participants with ESKD undergoing nonemergent surgical procedures to same-day hemodialysis versus no same-day hemodialysis? Researchers will compare the two hemodialysis schedules to see if the scheduling and safety profiles are the same. Participants will: Answer questions about their health up to 4 weeks before and 4 weeks after the surgical procedure. Receive hemodialysis on the day of the surgical procedure or not, depending on the study treatment assignment.

Patients with cancer are at high risk for life-threatening venous thromboembolism (VTE) yet rarely receive anticoagulant prophylaxis due to bleeding risks. Thus, effective prophylaxis in oncology requires a method to reduce VTE without increasing hemorrhage. The primary aim of the Statin Therapy to Prevent Cancer Associated Venous Thromboembolism (STAT-CAT) trial is to test whether rosuvastatin 20 mg daily for 12 months compared to placebo can safely prevent VTE in patients with newly diagnosed or recently relapsed cancer who are at increased thrombotic risk, are not planned to be anticoagulated, and who do not otherwise take statin therapy.

assess effectiveness of a , compared with usual care, to assess The goal of this study is to learn if a modified clinical program can improve adherence to guideline recommendations for prevention of venous thromboembolism in ambulatory patients with cancer. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: Does the modified program improve number of ambulatory oncology patients starting systemic treatment getting VTE risk-assessment? Does the modified program improve the number of patients receiving appropriate preventative anticoagulation? Researchers will compare to usual care (no clinical program). Participant clinicians will be asked to * receive education about VTE prevention recommendations * carry out risk assessment, anticoagulation discussions, and document the results Participant patients will receive care from clinicians participating in the study as part of their cancer care.

A third of patients undergoing surgery for a hip fracture develop a myocardial injury (i.e., an elevated troponin measurement), and these patients are at substantial risk of death and morbidity. Current prophylaxis strategies focus on preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE); however, arterial events are more common and carry a poor prognosis. The association of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) 75-100 mg once daily and rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice a day (the regimen used in the COMPASS trial) might prevent both VTE and arterial cardiovascular events. Among patients who have undergone hip fracture surgery and have evidence of myocardial injury, to explore the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily + low-dose ASA (75-100 mg) for 90 days, with standard VTE thromboprophylaxis for 30 days, for prevention of major cardiovascular events. The HIPSTER-Pilot is a multicenter, international, open-label, pilot RCT with blinded outcome adjudication. A total of 100 participants aged ≥45 years who received hip fracture surgery and experienced a myocardial injury will be randomized to receive either rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily plus ASA 75-100 mg daily for 90 days or standard VTE prophylaxis with an anticoagulant for 30 days. The primary feasibility outcome will be the recruitment rate. Other feasibility measures include completeness of follow-up and adherence to the treatment. Exploratory clinical outcomes will be assessed. This pilot trial will provide information on the feasibility of conducting a larger RCT to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the COMPASS regimen for preventing arterial and venous thrombotic events after hip fracture surgery in patients who have had myocardial injury. The results of this feasibility study will inform the design of the full-scale trial.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if apixaban (a pill) is a safe and easier alternative to taking enoxaparin (a daily shot) to prevent blood clots after head and neck cancer surgery. It will also learn about side effects of both medicines. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can apixaban be used safely instead of enoxaparin to prevent blood clots after surgery? Do patients find apixaban easier or more satisfying to take than enoxaparin? How well do patients follow the treatment plan with each medicine? Researchers will compare 2 groups: One group will take apixaban (a pill taken twice a day) for 10 days after surgery. The other group will take enoxaparin (a shot given once a day) for 10 days after surgery. Participants will: Take either apixaban or enoxaparin starting 12-24 hours after surgery, for 10 days total Keep a medication diary and bring back unused medicine so the study team can check adherence Complete short surveys about satisfaction with their medicine Have an ultrasound of their legs to check for blood clots 11-14 days after surgery Return for follow-up visits about 40 days and 80 days after surgery for safety checks How long will participation last? About 4 months from surgery through the last follow-up visit.

This study is researching an experimental drug called REGN7508 (called "study drug"). The study is focused on adults undergoing elective, unilateral (one side) total knee replacement surgery. The aim of the study is to see how effective the study drug is at preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) and other related diseases after total knee replacement surgery. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from taking the study drug * How much study drug is in the blood at different times * Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the study drug less effective or could lead to side effects)

Blood clots, also known as venous thromboembolism (VTE), are a common and serious complication for people with cancer. They can lead to pain, hospitalizations, delayed cancer treatment, and even death. Although national guidelines recommend using blood thinners (anticoagulants) to prevent clots in cancer patients who are at higher risk, these medications are not commonly prescribed due to concerns about bleeding and inconvenience. This study will test different ways of using a commonly prescribed blood thinner called apixaban (brand name Eliquis) to see if it can safely and effectively reduce the risk of blood clots and death in cancer patients who are at moderate risk for VTE. The study focuses on people who have a "Khorana score" of 2, which puts them at intermediate risk for developing blood clots. The study will include approximately 996 participants with solid tumors or lymphoma who are starting or recently started cancer-directed therapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: Group 1: Apixaban 2.5 mg twice a day (standard prophylactic dose) Group 2: Apixaban 5 mg once a day (an alternative, more convenient dose) Group 3: No anticoagulant (standard care) Participants will take the assigned treatment (if applicable) for 6 months. Researchers will monitor whether participants develop blood clots, experience serious bleeding events, or die from any cause during the study period. By comparing these three groups, the researchers hope to learn whether a once-daily dose of apixaban can work as well as the standard twice-daily dose, and whether either dosing strategy is better than no anticoagulation at all. If successful, the study may help increase the safe use of VTE prevention in cancer patients and improve overall outcomes, especially in patients at intermediate risk. This is a pragmatic trial, meaning it is designed to fit into real-world clinical practice with minimal extra procedures. The study drug is not provided by the sponsor and will be prescribed and filled through usual care channels. Participants and their doctors will decide whether to continue the medication after the study ends.

PAUSE 2 study is a prospective, open-label, blinded-endpoint non-inferiority RCT of PAUSE vs. ASRA management in DOAC treated high risk patients with AF/VTE who need elective high bleed risk surgery/procedure and/or any procedure involving neuraxial anesthesia. The purpose of the PAUSE 2 study is to show that PAUSE management will be as safe (i.e., non-inferior) as ASRA management, with 95% of patients having low/undetectable pre-operative DOAC levels \<30 ng/mL in each group., at the time of surgery/neuraxial.

The aim of this Phase 3 study is to evaluate the efficacy of Kinisoquin™ as compared to the placebo in prevention of thromboembolic events in patients with metastatic or locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

Kidney failure is common. In some people the ability of the kidneys to clean poisons out of the blood gets so low they need to be hooked up to a machine three times a week to do it for them. This is called dialysis. Unfortunately, although this treatment removes those waste products, people who need dialysis die much more often than people who don't need dialysis. Dialysis causes extreme stress on the body and leads to many organs being damaged. Removing fluid from the body quickly causes the equivalent of repeated little heart attacks or little strokes in the brain. Many patients struggle to tolerate having all the fluid that they have drunk since their last dialysis session removed- without unpleasant symptoms of dangerously low blood pressure (which makes the damage worse). Dialysis treatments can be done more slowly or more often, but that means having to spend a lot more time at the hospital and is difficult for the health system to be able to provide the extra treatment time. Could extra fluid be removed in between dialysis sessions? Up to now there has not been a way to effectively do this. Investigators have now designed and built an entirely new, very small and very simplified, device that can do part of what a dialysis machine does. It doesn't clean the blood or replace the need for conventional dialysis sessions, but it can provide additional and gentle removal of fluid which wasn't able to be taken off during a standard treatment session. If this study is successful, it will be the first time that a wearable device has been successfully built and used to take off extra fluid when dialysis patients are not in the hospital. The ability to do this opens up the possibility of, 1) helping to treat patients (both making people feel better and live longer) who can't tolerate getting off all the fluid in the short 3-4 hours they are on the dialysis machine in the hospital, and 2) helping patients who feel OK having the fluid taken off but are silently being subjected to damage to their organs due to the rapid removal, have reduced damage.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the distribution of rivaroxaban into human milk at both therapeutic and prophylactic doses, and over time with repeated dosing.
