Trial summary

The aim of the study is to associate dose of thromboprophylaxis with outcome in critically ill COVID-19 patients. This will be done by associating dose of thromboprophylaxis with 28-day mortality, survival outside ICU, thromboembolic event and bleeding complications.This was done in our earlier study for patients… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Dosing of Thromboprophylaxis and Mortality in Critically Ill COVID-19 Patients - More Patients Included and 90-day Follow up

The aim of the study is to associate dose of thromboprophylaxis with outcome in critically ill COVID-19 patients. This will be done by associating dose of thromboprophylaxis with 28-day mortality, survival outside ICU, thromboembolic event and bleeding complications.This was done in our earlier study for patients admitted in March and April (Clinicaltrials.gov NCT04412304 June 2 2020) but now we will include the patients admitted in May, June and half of July and we will ad the outcome of 90-day mortality.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Dose of tinzaparin or dalteparinDrug

    Also called Innohep/Fragmin

    The patients will be categorised into three groups depending on initial dose of thromboprophylaxis in the ICU

Study groups in NCT04593654
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
low dose thromboprophylaxisDaily dose of 2500-4500 IU tinzaparin or 2500-5000 IU dalteparin
Receives: Drug: Dose of tinzaparin or dalteparin
medium dose thromboprophylaxisDaily dose of >4500 IU but <175 IU/kg of body weight tinzaparin or >5000 IU but <200 IU/kg of body weight dalteparin
Receives: Drug: Dose of tinzaparin or dalteparin
high dose thromboprophylaxisDaily dose of ≥ 175 IU/kg of body weight tinzaparin or ≥200 IU/kg of body weight dalteparin
Receives: Drug: Dose of tinzaparin or dalteparin

What is being measured

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

  1. 28-day mortality

    28-day mortality from admission to ICU. Discontinue of ICU-care to palliative care counts as death.

    Measured: 28 days from ICU-admission

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Incidence of thromboembolic events

    Thromboembolic events are defined as pulmonary emboli (PE), deep venous thrombus (DVT) and ischemic stroke. PE is defined as PE verified by computer tomography or by findings of acute strain of the right heart on echocardiography combined with a clinical interpretation of the patients deteriorating as a probable PE stated in the medical records. DVT is defined as DVT verified with ultrasound. Ischemic stroke is defined as ischemic stroke verified by computer tomography.

    Measured: 28 days from ICU-admission

  2. Incidence of bleeding events

    The event of bleeding will be defined by WHO modified bleeding scale as 1-4

    Measured: 28 days from ICU-admission

  3. ICU-free days alive from ICU-admission

    ICU-free days alive during 28 days from ICU-admission. Counts as 0 days if discharged to ward for palliative treatment.

    Measured: 28 days from ICU-admission

  4. 90-day mortality

    90-day mortality from admission to ICU.

    Measured: 90 days from ICU-admission

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Covid19 and Thromboembolism, run by Karolinska Institutet at 1 site in Sweden.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 31 May 2023. 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 Sweden. 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.

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?

28-day mortality (time frame: 28 days from ICU-admission). 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 NCT04593654, 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 31 May 2023.
