Ultrasound-facilitated, Catheter-directed, Thrombolysis in Intermediate-high Risk Pulmonary Embolism

Trial: Ultrasound-assisted catheter treatment for certain lung blood clots.

Recruiting
18-80 years
All
Phase 4

This study is testing two treatments for pulmonary embolism (PE), a condition where blood clots block the lungs' blood vessels. The study compares using only blood thinners (medicines that help prevent clots) with using blood thinners plus a special device called the EkoSonic™ Endovascular device, which helps dissolve the clots. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of these groups and monitored over 12 months with check-ups in the hospital and at specific time points like 7 days, 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months. The goal is to see which method is better at reducing serious risks like death from PE.

  • Participation lasts for 12 months with several follow-up visits.
  • Participants must be between 18-80 years old and meet certain health criteria.
  • Risks may include side effects from treatments; discuss with your doctor.

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?
