Researchers are collecting detailed information about patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes blood clots in veins such as deep-vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The project aims to improve doctors' understanding of VTE, especially in patients often excluded from clinical trials, like pregnant women, elderly individuals, cancer patients, and those with other complex health issues. The goal is to reduce deaths, clot recurrence, bleeding problems, and artery-related events by sharing this knowledge widely. The study involves gathering extensive data on each patient's health status, treatments, and outcomes during the first three months of therapy. This registry is available online to help doctors quickly find information on patients with similar medical profiles and make informed decisions about managing high-risk individuals. There are no specific interventions being tested; instead, the focus is on collecting real-world patient data. Participants provide informed consent and are followed for at least three years to monitor for new clot events and complications. Researchers track recurrences of VTE, bleeding episodes, and deaths, aiming to create tools that predict which patients are most at risk for problems. This ongoing data collection supports improving care and guiding treatment decisions for diverse patient groups over time.

Researchers are evaluating the effect of abelacimab compared to a placebo in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who are considered unsuitable for oral anticoagulation therapy. This study focuses on people at high risk for ischemic stroke or systemic embolism and aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of abelacimab in preventing these events. The study is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving patients with AF who have specific risk factors and treatment challenges. Participants will receive either abelacimab, provided as a liquid in vials at 150 mg/mL, or a matching placebo liquid. The study design includes parallel groups with blinded treatment assignment. The trial does not describe additional treatment phases or extensions but focuses on the comparison of abelacimab and placebo over the study duration. During the study, participants will be monitored for up to 30 months to measure the time until the first occurrence of ischemic stroke or systemic embolism, as well as the time until the first occurrence of serious bleeding as defined by the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 3c/5 bleeding. Safety and efficacy will be closely evaluated, with ongoing assessments to track these outcomes throughout the follow-up period.
