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 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with objectively confirmed symptomatic VTE treated at approximately 15 outpatient clinics across Canada which use enoxaparin for the treatment of acute VTE.

Who may be able to join

  • Objectively confirmed VTE
  • Initiation of enoxaparin treatment within Day 0-10 after diagnosis of VTE:
  • Outpatients who will be treated with enoxaparin + VKA in combination are permitted to receive initial treatment other than enoxaparin for a maximum of 48 hours or 2 treatment doses preceding entry into the study
  • Outpatients on enoxaparin monotherapy are permitted to receive up to 10 days of treatment other than enoxaparin preceding entry into the study.

Who cannot join

  • Medical or psychiatric disorders associated with altered cognition or mentation that precludes understanding of the informed consent process.
  • The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.

About this study

Official title: National, Prospective, Observational, Cohort Study of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Management With the Low Molecular Weight Heparin, Enoxaparin, in the Outpatient Setting in Canada

Primary Objective:

  • To obtain prospective, clinical practice-based data on how symptomatic VTE is managed with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) enoxaparin in Canadian outpatient settings.
Read more

Secondary Objective:

  • To describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with symptomatic VTE including characteristics of VTE, VTE risk factors and bleeding risk factors.
  • To assess the frequency of patient characteristics that would necessitate adjustment in the dose or duration of enoxaparin therapy, e.g. high BMI, impaired creatinine clearance, advanced age, cancer-associated VTE.
  • To assess the degree of adherence in clinical practice to Consensus Guidelines (ACCP/American College of chest Physician 2008) for the management of acute VTE, vis a vis:
  • Appropriate dosing of enoxaparin
  • Recommended duration of initial LMWH therapy
  • Adequate overlap of LMWH with vitamin K antagonists (VKA)
  • Recommended duration of longterm VKA
  • Frequency of use of LMWH monotherapy to treat cancer-related VTE
  • To access safety outcomes (including bleeding and recurrent VTE)
  • To describe the utilization of resources due to bleeding and recurrent VTE during the treatment period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients with Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) and/or Pulmonary Embolism (PE) and/or thrombosis at unusual sites

    Measured: Day 180 or end of anticoagulant therapy whichever comes first

  2. Number of patients prescribed twice daily (BID) vs. once daily (QD) enoxaparin

    Measured: Day 180 or end of anticoagulant therapy whichever comes first

  3. Proportion of patients who used short (5-7 days) vs. longer use (more than 7 days) durations of treatment with enoxaparin

    Measured: Day 180 or end of anticoagulant therapy whichever comes first

  4. Percentage of exnoxaparin prefilled syringes vs. multidose vials used during treatment

    Measured: Day 180 or end of anticoagulant therapy whichever comes first

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Patient characteristics associated with different patterns of VTE management and enoxaparin use

    Analysis of patient characteristics associated with different patterns of VTE management and enoxaparin use, such as age, weight, creatinine clearance, co-morbid disease, VTE characteristics, concomitant use of other pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment of the VTE, concomitant use of other non-VTE related therapies

    Measured: Day 180 or end of anticoagulant therapy whichever comes first

  2. Percentage of cases managed as recommended by Concensus Guidelines (ACCP 2008)

    Measured: Day 180 or end of anticoagulant therapy whichever comes first

  3. Incidence of bleeding events and episodes of recurrent VTE

    Measured: Day 180 or end of anticoagulant therapy whichever comes first

  4. To tabulate VTE-related resources utilized during the study period and compare resource utilization in patients treated vs not treated as per Concensus Guidelines (ACCP 2008)

    VTE-related resources utilized during the study period, including cost of VTE and its treatment (e.g. duration of hospital stay, drug costs, costs related to bleeding such as transfusions, costs of recurrent VTE) and compare resource utilization in patients treated vs. not treated as recommended by Concensus Guidelines (ACCP 2008)

    Measured: Day 180 or end of anticoagulant therapy whichever comes first

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Medical Prevention Therapy, run by Sanofi at 1 site in Canada.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 Aug 2010. 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 Canada. 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?

Proportion of patients with Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) and/or Pulmonary Embolism (PE) and/or thrombosis at unusual sites (time frame: Day 180 or end of anticoagulant therapy whichever comes first). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 31 Aug 2010.
