There are 3 clinical trials
To determine whether aspirin is more effective than placebo for the prevention of recurrent symptomatic venous thromboembolism when given for at least two years after the initial 6-12 month of oral anticoagulant therapy in patients with idiopathic venous thromboembolism
Exclusion Criteria: - permanent risk factors for venous thromboembolism: patients known to have antiphospholipid antibodies or lupus anticoagulant (based on local laboratory criteria) or to have homozygous factor V Leiden or homozygous prothrombin G21210A or heterozygous factor V Leiden plus heterozygous prothrombin G21210A or antithrombin III deficiency; patients with active malignancy - temporary risk factors for venous thromboembolism - any recurrence of venous thromboembolism or bleeding episode during the established 6-month period of oral anticoagulant treatment - allergy or intolerance of aspirin - clear indication for aspirin or other anti-platelet therapy (e.g. --- G21210A ---

The treatment of light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is directed against the plasma cells that produce the light-chain forming the amyloid deposits. The plasma cells can be killed and their growth can be stopped by drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, steroids, such as dexamethasone, and drugs that stimulate the immune system, such as lenalidomide. The present trial studies the efficacy and safety of the combination of cyclophosphamide, lenalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with AL amyloidosis who were previously treated and need further therapy.
Prior diagnosis of antiphospholipid antibodies or lupus anticoagulant, factor V Leiden mutation, prothrombin G21210A mutation, antithrombin, protein C or S deficiency. --- G21210A ---
Thalidomide-Dexamethasone (TD) is a standard induction therapy for Multiple Myeloma (MM). The present study is designed to compare TD with VELCADE-Thalidomide-Dexamethasone (VTD) as induction therapy in preparation for, and as consolidation after, melphalan-based double autologous stem cell transplantation for previously untreated patients aged ≤65 years with symptomatic MM. Primary study endpoint is the rate of complete response (CR) plus near-complete response (nCR) to induction treatment. Secondary endpoints include the rate of CR plus nCR to double transplantation and subsequent consolidation therapy, time to progression (TTP), progression-free survival (PFS),overall survival (OS) and toxicity profile of both VTD and TD.

Description: Responses to induction therapy were reported by study investigators and centrally reassessed by study coordinator(s). Criteria are those initially proposed by the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT), with the addition of nCR (100% M-protein reduction by electrophoresis, but immunofixation-positive) and very good partial response (VGPR) (at least 90% serum and urine M-protein reduction) categories. Comparisons of response rates between treatment arms are performed using Fisher's exact test.
Measure: Rate of CR+nCR to induction treatment Time: 63 days after the start day of either TD or VTD as induction therapyDescription: Responses to autotransplantation(s) and consolidation therapy were reported by study investigators and centrally reassessed by study coordinator(s). Criteria are those initially proposed by the EBMT, with the addition of nCR and VGPR categories. Comparisons of response rates between treatment arms are performed using Fisher's exact test. Comparisons of response rates between treatment arms are performed using Fisher's exact test.
Measure: Rate of CR+nCR to autotransplantation(s) and subsequent consolidation therapy Time: 90 days after the second autologous transplantation and 70 days after the beginning of either TD or VTD as consolidation therapyDescription: TTP is defined as time from start of induction treatment with either TD or VTD to relapse or progression, as evaluated according to EBMT criteria. Comparison of TTP between treatment arms is performed using the log-rank test; distributions are estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology.
Measure: Time To Progression (TTP) Time: Average time period between the start day of either TD or VTD as induction therapy and the day of relapse or progressionDescription: PFS is defined as time from start of treatment to progression/relapse, or death, whichever occurs firstly. Comparison of PFS between treatment arms is performed using the log-rank test; distributions are estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology.
Measure: Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Time: Average time period between the start day of either TD or VTD as induction therapy and the day of relapse or progression or death, whichever occurs firstlyDescription: OS is defined as time from start of treatment to death. Comparison of OS between treatment arms is performed using the log-rank test; distributions are estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology.
Measure: Overall Survival (OS) Time: Average time period between the start day of either TD or VTD as induction therapy and the day of death, due to any causeDescription: Safety is monitored until 30 days after the last dose of study drug. Toxicities are graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0. Rates of adverse events are compared between treatment arms using the chi-square test.
Measure: Safety Time: Average time period between the start day of either TD or VTD as induction therapy and the day of any toxicity/adverse event(s) recorded during and after study drug administration
