IgG Dependent Monocyte Activation in Proximal Venous Thromboembolism

Completed
Conditions
Venous Thromboembolism
Pulmonary Embolism
Registration Number
NCT02713581
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes
Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to search for, in vitro, elements associated with IgG-dependent monocyte activation (signaling pathway activation, expression of pro-coagulant and pro-inflammatory factors) and to describe their prevalence in female patients with a history of proximal venous thromboembolism (proximal deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism) compared to control women.

Detailed Description

The secondary objectives of this study include to compare the IgG-dependent monocyte activation profiles as a function of laboratory thrombophilia parameters. Essentially: Is IgG-dependent cell activation associated with the presence of anti-phospholipid antibodies (or their subtypes?), or do these profiles indicate something beyond the nosology of anti-phospholipid syndrome?

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The presence/absence of an activation profileDay (0)

The following will be taken into account: Six signaling pathways (Protein kinase B, extracellular-signal-regulated kinases, Signal transducer and activator of transcription 5, P38 mitogen-activated protein kinases, Mechanistic Target Of Rapamycin, nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells), increases in the expression of tissue factor, and 5 pro-inflammatory factors (Intercellular Adhesion Molecule, tumor necrosis factor alpha, interferon gamma, Interleukin-1 beta, Interleukin 8). A pathway will be considered as "activated" or an expression profile as "increased" when the observed value is superior to the 95% confidence interval determined using healthy volunteer values. A patient is considered as having an activation profile if at least one of the above pathways or expressions is considered as activated / increased.
