Clinical Trials

An important part of the Anticoagulation Forum's mission is to facilitate research. To further this mission, we are developing a Clinical Trials Database to help match our members and their clinics to relevant research projects. If you would like to submit your clinic for consideration, please email info@acforum.org with a brief explanation of your interest, a description of your patient population, and any other information you feel may be relevant.

For organizations running clinical trials, the AC Forum membership is an excellent resource. In general, AC Forum member clinics are well organized and many have participated in important clinical trials in the past.

Clinical Trials currently open include:

• Bridge Study - Bridging Anticoagulation in Patients Who Require Temporary  Interruption of Warfarin Therapy for an Elective Invasive ProceDure or SurGEry
