Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: First group (Group 1) consisted of 14 patients treated with conventional oxygen therapy only in the infectious diseases department. The second group (Group 2) consisted of 14 mechanically ventilated patients treated in the ICU, and the third group (Group 3) was formed by 15 patients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and mechanically ventilated in the ICU. The investigators used surviving sepsis campaign guidelines for COVID-19 for the escalation of treatment in the study population.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients treated in the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care and the Department of Infectious Diseases of a tertiary academic hospital with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection with a real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or an antigen test.

Who cannot join

  • Coagulation disorders at the start of the therapy.

About this study

Official title: Nadroparin Pharmacokinetics in Different Stages of COVID-19-a Prospective Observational Study.

Objective:

The risk of thrombotic complications in critical COVID-19 patients remains extremely high, and multicenter trials failed to prove the survival benefit of escalated doses of low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) in this group. The aim of this study was to develop a pharmacokinetic model of LMWH (nadroparin calcium) according to different stages of COVID-19 severity.

Design:

The investigators performed a prospective observational study.

Patients:

Blood samples were obtained from 43 COVID-19 patients that received nadroparin and were treated with conventional oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Setting:

The investigators recorded clinical, biochemical, and hemodynamic variables during 72 hours of treatment. The analyzed data comprised 782 serum nadroparin concentrations and 219 anti-factor Xa levels. The investigators conducted population nonlinear mixed-effects modeling (NONMEM) and performed Monte Carlo simulations of the probability of target attainment (PTA) for reaching 0.2-0.5 IU/ml anti-Xa levels in study groups.

Interventions: None.

Measurements and Main Results:

The investigators successfully developed a one-compartment model to describe the population pharmacokinetics of nadroparin in different stages of COVID-19.

Conclusions:

Different nadroparin dosing is required for patients undergoing mechanical ventilation and ECMO to achieve the same targets as those for non-critically ill patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thrombosis and Nadroparin, run by Medical University of Lublin at 1 site in Poland.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 18 Nov 2022. 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 Poland. 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?

Change in nadroparin concentration in blood measurement (time frame: 6 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05621915, 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 18 Nov 2022.
