Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

The Kids-DOTT trial is a randomized controlled clinical trial whose primary objective is to evaluate non-inferiority of shortened-duration (6 weeks) versus conventional-duration (3 months) anticoagulation in children with first-episode acute venous thrombosis. The first stage of the trial has consisted of a pilot/feasibility component, which then continues as the definitively-powered trial.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

Children (birth to <21 years of age) with radiologically-confirmed acute deep venous thrombosis in the past 30 days
In the opinion of the investigator, the venous thrombosis was a provoked (i.e., non-spontaneous) event (e.g.: hospitalization; Central venous catheterization; infection; dehydration; surgery; trauma; immobility; use of estrogen-containing oral contraceptive pills; flare of autoimmune/rheumatologic condition).

Treatment Details

Interventions

  • Conventional duration (3 months) of anticoagulant therapy (Anticoagulant)
  • No Intervention (Other)
