- Brief Summary
Post thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a frequent and burdensome complication of proximal deep-vein thrombosis.Therapeutic options for PTS are limited and mainly rely on its prevention. Therapeutic trials evidenced that elastic compression stockings (ECS) applying 30-40mmHg of pressure at the ankle reduced the rate of PTS by 50%. Although ECS are unlikely to cause harm, in clinical practice, compliance to this treatment appears to be low as ECS may be difficult to apply and to wear.
ECS with a lighter compression strength (20-30mmHg) might be easier to apply and be more comfortable. This could favor a better compliance.
CELEST is a randomized, multicentre, double-blind trial which aims to determine whether ECS applying 25mmHg of targeted pressure at the ankle are non inferior to ECS applying 35mmHg of targeted pressure at the ankle
- Detailed Description
CELEST trial is a controlled, randomized, multicentre, non-inferiority double-blind trial which aims to determine whether ECS applying 25mmHg of targeted pressure at the ankle are non inferior to ECS applying 35mmHg of targeted pressure at the ankle. Patients with a first acute symptomatic proximal DVT will be randomized to wear for two years either ECS applying 25mmHg of targeted pressure at the ankle or ECS applying 35mmHg of targeted pressure at the ankle. All patients will be prescribed anticoagulants for at least three months. The primary outcome will be the rate of PTS assessed with the Villalta scale in both arms of the study during the 2 years study period. Rate of compliance,severity of PTS and quality of life in both groups will constitute the main secondary outcomes.

Group Intervention Description 25mmHg ECS 25mmHg ECS Thigh-length graduated elastic compression stockings applying 25mmhg of targeted pressure at the ankle worn daily for two years 35mmHg ECS 35 mmHg ECS Thigh-length graduated elastic compression stockings applying 35 mmhg of targeted pressure at the ankle worn daily for two years
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To show that elastic compression with ankle pressure targeted at 25 mm Hg is not inferior in preventing the onset of clinical post-thrombotic syndrome to a target ankle pressure of 35 mm Hg (recommended pressure being greater than 30 mm Hg) 24 months cumulative incidence 24 months after inclusion of PTS apparition defined by the Villalta score \> or equal to 5. A visual guide will be given to investigators to assist them and standardize PTS evaluation. Investigators will receive a Villalta training during set up visits.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Superiority of 25 mm Hg on the therapeutic compliance criterion 24 months Superiority of 25 mm Hg on the therapeutic compliance criterion at 24 months
Compliance is defined by 2 conditions :
1. Girerd adapted to elastic compression stocking score adjusted between 0 and 2 (the question 2 will not be taken into account beacause not adapted to the logistics of the study)
2. because of French clinical practices it should be pertinent to take into consideration 2 compliance type :
1. ideal compliance : Self declaration ≥ 80 % (reference PRANDONI)
2. adequate compliance : self declaration between 50 and 79% for (French references Delluc and Optimev study)non inferiority of 25 mm Hg for the onset of permanent trophic disorders 3 months, 12 and 24 months CEAP classification evaluated by investigator at 3, 12 and 24 months
test for key factors in good compliance 24 months Compliance evaluation according to the 2 axes defined on third outcome measure and research of determinants of good compliance by specific questionnaire
superiority of targeted pressure at 35 mm Hg for compliant patients. Analysis of the primary endpoint per protocol amongst patients responding to the definition of compliance for compression scheduled by randomization 24 months analysis of primary endpoint (cumulative incidence of PTS) amongst patients responding to the definition of observance for compression scheduled by randomization. It means a per protocol analysis. The per protocol analysis defined as follow : patients ideally compliant (see next secondary outcome measure with self declaration of compression carrying superior or equal to 80 % especially)and patients with respect to randomization.
non inferiority of 25 mm Hg for the intensity of long term chronic venous insufficiency symptoms (12 months and 24 months) 12 and 24 months Long term assessment of evolution and intensity of symptoms (pain, oedema feeling) related to potential post-thrombotic syndrome apparition
* Monthly self-assessment by VAS for pain and oedema feeling during 24 months. It will be done at the end of each month and will focus on symptoms intensity (last week of the month)
* An assessment will be done by investigator, in addition of previous criterion, at 12 and 24 months
* Assessment with the Ginsberg score (interview by the investigator at 12 and 24 months)
* Comparison of averages on Villalta score (quantitative)non inferiority of 25 mm Hg for the onset of sequalae or post thrombotic residues on an duplex scan at 3 months, 12 and 24 months 3, 12 and 24 months Assessment by duplex scan of deep and superficial veins at 3, 12 and 24 months
* Assessment by duplex scan of deep reflux (\>1s in femoral vein, and/or popliteal vein, tibio peroneal trunck)
* Assessment by duplex scan of superficial reflux (\> 0.5s in great saphenous vein, small saphenous vein, perforating veins)
* Assessment by echographic score of thickness and location of residual thrombus
* Assessment by duplex scan of re-canalization of collectors trunks and/or parietal sequalaeAdverse events 24 months description and comparison of the incidence of adverse events including unexpected adverse events, events expected with this type of disease (recurrence of the venous thromboembolic disease, recurrence of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, superficial venous thrombosis, venous ulcer) and events possibly related to the study treatment (arterial decompensation passing to Lerich stage III or IV, skin intolerance)
Subgroups analysis of the primary objective and secondary objectives according to the gender stratification criterion and age 24 months Stratification on age (more or less than 65 years-old) for testing the hypothesis by subgroups analysis of the benefit of a better adaptation of compression 25 mm Hg on older subjects, as suggested by S. Khan.
