Evaluation of Hemostasis in Bleeding and Thrombotic Disorders

Recruiting
Conditions
Blood Coagulation Disorders, Inherited
Thrombotic Disorder
Registration Number
NCT00178594
Lead Sponsor
The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston
Brief Summary

The objective of this study will be to assess the coagulation system in-vitro in a variety of bleeding and clotting disorders using the ROTEG analyzer and the thrombin generation assay.

Detailed Description

This is an exploratory study involving blood coagulation assays in a select group of individuals receiving treatment for their congenital or acquired bleeding or clotting disorder at UTHealth Houston. The ROTEG is a newly developed coagulation analyzer which allows the continuous assessment of whole blood coagulation from the formation of the first fibrin fibers and activated platelets, to the formation of a three-dimensional whole blood clot until the eventual dissolution of the clot. This device will not be used as a diagnostic or procedure tool. No recommendations regarding interpretation of the results or implications for future treatment will be provided.
