Apixaban Validation Study - Additional Study on Fresh Samples

Completed
Conditions
Anticoagulation With Apixaban
Interventions
Device: STA-Apixaban Calibrator & Control
Registration Number
NCT03073265
Lead Sponsor
Diagnostica Stago
Brief Summary

The objective is to demonstrate the performances of STA® - Apixaban Calibrator \& STA® - Apixaban Control used in combination with STA® - Liquid Anti-Xa to measure apixaban concentration in plasma. Anti-Xa results will be compared to LCMS (liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry) for validation of the assay. For this study, the anti-Xa assay will be performed on fresh samples only.

The results will be used to complete results obtained previously on frozen samples.

Detailed Description

About 60 samples from patients on apixaban meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria will be included in this study. Two sites will be in charge of sample recruitment and anti-Xa testing. A third site will be in charge of LCMS testing.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Method comparison between Anti-Xa method and LCMS to measure apixaban in plasmaThe anti-Xa assay will be tested within 6h after sample collection and LCMS will be performed on frozen samples, at maximum 2 months after collection.

Compare results from anti-Xa assay and LCMS to measure apixaban in plasma samples. Regression and difference charts will be used to compare the methods.
