DEXTERITY-SCI Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether a local anti-inflammatory drug can help prevent re-thrombosis and improve symptoms for up to 24 months after a DVT recanalization procedure.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-89 with recent (14-60 days) iliofemoral DVT needing stenting, able to take oral meds and adhere to anticoagulant regimen. Must not have active cancer, severe health issues, or be pregnant/breastfeeding. BMI must be under 40, and they should agree to contraception if applicable.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests whether injecting dexamethasone around deep veins after DVT recanalization reduces re-thrombosis risk and improves symptoms over two years compared to a sham procedure using the Bullfrog® Micro-Infusion Device.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include local reactions at the infusion site, increased bleeding risk due to anti-inflammatory action of dexamethasone, potential for immune system suppression leading to higher infection rates.
