About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Non-Surgical Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis Dosing Strategies: Enoxaparin 20mg Versus 30mg Subcutaneously Once Daily in Elderly Patients With Impaired Renal Function

This is a clinical trial including non-surgical patients, 70 years of age or older, with renal impairment requiring pharmacological venous thromboembolism prevention during hospitalization. Patients are randomized to receive either 20 mg or 30mg of enoxaparin. Both dosing regimens of enoxaparin have been approved for thromboprophylaxis in impaired kidney function in different countries. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of enoxaparin 20mg versus 30mg subcutaneously daily by comparing anti-xa levels, thrombosis and bleeding events.

Being tested

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Peak anti-Xa levels

    Peak anti-Xa levels, drawn 4 hours after the enoxaparin dose is given

    Measured: Day 3 of thromboprophylaxis

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Trough anti-xa levels

    Trough anti-Xa levels, drawn right before the third enoxaparin dose is given

    Measured: Day 3 of thromboprophylaxis

  2. Bleeding according to the GUSTO bleeding criteria.

    Measured: Bleeding within 30 days will be assessed from randomization till date of bleeding or date of discharge, whichever comes first.

  3. Objectively confirmed symptomatic or asymptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) including both deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and or pulmonary embolism (PE).

    Chart documentation of objectively detected DVT by either bilateral venography or duplex ultrasonography whereas PE detection by contrast enhanced computerized tomography scan (CT Scan) or Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

    Measured: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) within 30 days will be assessed from randomization till date of VTE or date of discharge, whichever comes first.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Enoxaparin 20Mg/0.2mL Prefilled Syringe and Enoxaparin 60Mg/0.6Ml Inj Syringe 0.6Ml in people with Venous Thromboembolism and Renal Impairment, run by Lebanese American University at 1 site in Lebanon.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Lebanon. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Peak anti-Xa levels (time frame: Day 3 of thromboprophylaxis). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03158792, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Sep 2017.
