DEXTERITY-AFP Trial Summary

This trial is testing a local anti-inflammatory treatment for people who have recently had their DVT recanalized, in order to see if it prevents re-thrombosis and improves symptoms.

Adults aged 18-89 with recent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the leg, who can take oral medication and agree to long-term anticoagulant therapy. They must not be enrolled in other drug/device trials, have a BMI over 45, severe health conditions that affect study participation or outcomes, known allergies to drugs used in the trial, or be pregnant/breastfeeding.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if injecting dexamethasone directly around veins after DVT removal reduces re-thrombosis and improves symptoms for up to two years. Participants will receive either this treatment or a sham procedure using the Bullfrog® Micro-Infusion Device.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions at the injection site such as pain or infection, increased blood sugar levels due to dexamethasone (a steroid), and possible systemic effects like mood changes or stomach upset.
