A Study to Collect Information about Biomarkers (Lab Test Results) that May Help to Predict Which People with Calf Vein Clots May be at Higher or Lower Risk of Having the Clot Grow or Progress

Overview

About this study

This is a biomarker correlate study for a study which is randomizing patients with calf deep venous thrombosis (calf vein clots) to treatment with blood thinners or not to see if the blood thinner is necessary.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate.
