About this study

Official title: Individual Dose Adjustment of Low-molecular-weight-heparin by Thromodynamics Test in Patients At Extremely High Risk of Postoperative Venous Thromboembolism.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of individual dose adjustment of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) based on the results of the thrombodynamics test (TD) in patients at extremely high risk of postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE).

This is a single-center, open-label, randomized clinical study with a blinded assessor for primary efficacy outcome.

Patients after elective or emergent major surgery having 10 or more Caprini scores at the baseline, who already received two subcutaneous injections of enoxaparin: 40 mg at 6-12 hours after the surgery ("key injection 1") and 40 mg at 12 hours after the previous injection ("key injection 2"), who had no VTE at the baseline, and who signed informed consent, are subjected to laboratory examination by the TD.

Blood samples are taken 12 hours after the "key injection 1" and 24 hours after the "key injection 2". If one of the relevant parameters of the TD (initial velocity of clot growth rate and clot size) exceeds the set threshold, the Caprini scores are recalculated adding 3 points for "other thrombophilic state" confirmed by the thrombodynamics. The patient may be included in the study if the new sum exceeds 13 points (initial 10 scores + additional 3 scores). Within 60 hours from the surgery, the included patients are randomly allocated to one of two groups: Experimental or Control. Patients in the Control group continue to receive the standard dose of enoxaparin 40 mg every 24 hours (once daily). In the Experimental group, the dose of enoxaparin is increased to 30 mg every 12 hours (twice daily).

Blood samples for TD are taken during the next two days at 24 hours after the administration of each daily dose of enoxaparin.

A whole leg duplex ultrasound scan (DUS) is performed in all patients during the screening period and at 7-10 days after the surgery or in case of any suspicion for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or superficial vein thrombosis (SVT). Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is carried out in any clinical suspicion for pulmonary embolism (PE). An autopsy is performed in all dead patients.

The total follow-up period is 30 days. After discharge, patients are invited to the hospital for clinical examination with DUS or interviewed by phone to identify symptomatic VTE.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Standard Enoxaparin 40 mg once-daily before randomization, Standard Enoxaparin 40 mg once-daily after randomization and Escalated Enoxaparin 30 mg twice-daily after randomization in people with Venous Thromboembolism, run by Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University at 1 site in Russia.

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 6 inclusion and 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jan 2025. 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 Russia. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Lack of the eligible patients). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Symptomatic and asymptomatic venous thrombosis by postoperative day 10 (time frame: day 10 after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 7 Jan 2025.
