A Different Approach to Preventing Thrombosis (ADAPT): A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Low Molecular Weight Heparin to Acetylsalicylic Acid in Orthopedic Trauma Patients
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating VTE prophylaxis with Enoxaparin 30mg BID and VTE prophylaxis with Aspirin 81mg BID for Venous Thromboembolism and Pulmonary Embolism. Completed, enrolled 329 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to perform a pragmatic randomized controlled trial to compare the use of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH, lovenox, enoxaparin) versus acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in patients with high-risk lower extremity fractures.

Patients will receive Enoxaparin 30mg BID for DVT prophylaxis and will be followed to determine the efficacy, safety and cost when used for VTE prophylaxis in high-risk orthopedic traumas administered for the length of time indicated by standard of care based on the injury.
