Measuring blood clotting times in patients on blood thinners
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study is testing a new device that may quickly measure how well your blood clots while you are on a blood thinner. They will take a small blood sample to see if the device works well for patients like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are currently taking a blood thinner (anticoagulant) medication and have been taking it regularly for at least one month.
- You do not have a personal or family history of bleeding or clotting disorders.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 40 or less, and your weight is 120 kg or less.
- You do not have significant kidney or liver problems.

This study tests a new blood test called ClotChek™ to see how well it works for people taking direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), a type of blood thinner. You would give a blood sample, and the test may help doctors better monitor your medication.
This trial tests a new lab device that measures how well your body forms primary blood clots while blood is kept in flowing conditions. It may help doctors better assess bleeding or clotting tendencies and guide future care.
This study looks at a special blood test (clot waveform analysis) to see if it can help doctors better understand why some people have a prolonged clotting time. This might help them find the cause more quickly and accurately.
This trial uses stored blood samples to see how well different lab tests measure clotting when someone has a factor deficiency (like low levels of clotting proteins) or liver damage. It may help doctors choose the most accurate test for these situations.
This study looks at how people doing well on certain blood thinners do when they have a stroke or bleeding while taking them. It will measure medication levels in your blood to understand stroke severity and recovery in the short and long term.
This trial compares different blood test reagents to see which works best for measuring clotting time in people with clotting factor deficiencies or liver disease. It may help doctors choose the right test for your condition.
