In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Fixed Dose Enoxaparin and Variable Dose Enoxaparin for Venous Thromboembolism and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 131 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this research is to better understand how patient-level factors can be used to predict the appropriate enoxaparin dose to maximize venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk reduction and minimize bleeding.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Eligible patients will be administered 40 mg enoxaparin daily and will have steady state peak and trough anti-Xa levels drawn after the third enoxaparin dose. For patients in-range (levels 0.3-0.5IUmL), no intervention will be undertaken. For patients out of range, enoxaparin dose will be adjusted according to an established dose adjustment algorithm. Repeat levels will be checked after the third administration of the new dose.
Eligible patients will be administered 0.5 mg/kg enoxaparin daily and will have steady state peak and trough anti-Xa levels drawn after the third enoxaparin dose.
