Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome is the composite of: 1. Screening-detected, clinically relevant, ipsilateral upper extremity deep-vein thrombosis at the discretion of the local radiologist, demonstrated by one of the following: - A non-compressible venous segment or abnormal flow on ultrasound; - An adjudicated vascular filling defect, detectable in at least 50% of the lumen around the catheter on CT-venography; - An adjudicated vascular filling defect in the non-cannulated deep veins on CT-venography. Upper extremity deep veins include the brachial, axillary, subclavian, brachiocephalic, jugular, and superior caval vein. 2. Screening-detected, clinically relevant pulmonary embolism at the discretion of the local radiologist, demonstrated by an intraluminal filling defect in a segmental or more proximal pulmonary artery on CT-venography. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints include - Intrinsic pathway activation at baseline and during follow-up, assessed by levels of FXIIa:C1inh, FXIIa:AT, FXIa:C1inh, FXIa:AT, FXIa:a1AT, pKa:C1inh, and FIXa:AT complexes, and a factor XIa-dependent thrombin generation test. - Clinically relevant venous thromboembolism - Non-clinically relevant thrombi - Catheter malfunction - Major bleeding - Clinically relevant non-major bleeding - All-cause mortality - Allergic reaction to contrast agents - Reported contrast nephropathy - Initiation of anticoagulant therapy in patients with screening-detected upper-extremity deep-vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism. | — |
