About this study

Official title: Long-term Prophylaxis of Venous Thromboembolism With Low-molecular-weight Heparin in Patients With Metastatic Lung Cancer

Prospective randomized open multicenter trial with blinded adjudication of endpoints to assess the efficacy of six-month low-dose LMWH (Low Molecular Weight Heparin) for the prevention of symptomatic or incidental VTE in patients with stage IV lung cancer and elevated D-dimer.

Read the detailed description

Adult patients aged ≥ 18 years with stage IV lung cancer and elevated D-dimer will be randomized to the experimental or control group.Patients in the control group will receive usual care, patients in the experimental group will receive subcutaneous tinzaparin once daily for six months. Follow-up visit will take place in outpatient clinic at day 90, day 180 and day 360. Blood sampling for biomarkers will be performed at inclusion visit and day 90.

What is being measured

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

  1. venous thromboembolic events

    All venous thromboembolism (VTE) events during the six-month treatment period including:

    • objectively confirmed symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE),
    • objectively confirmed symptomatic lower-limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) (including iliac and caval thrombosis),
    • objectively confirmed symptomatic upper extremity DVT,
    • objectively confirmed incidentally diagnosed PE or proximal DVT
    • death due to PE.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Symptomatic VTE events

    Objectively confirmed symptomatic VTE and death due to PE

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Venous thromboembolic events

    Objectively confirmed symptomatic or incidental VTE during the 12-months study period

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Major bleedings

    Major bleeding according to the ISTH criteria

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Death

    Overall mortality and causes of death

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Death

    Overall mortality and causes of death

    Measured: 12 months

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted27 Mar 2017
  2. Study start14 Sep 2018
  3. Primary completion18 Aug 2021
  4. Study completion18 Aug 2021

Why it stopped: The rate of inclusion is too low to hope to reach the target of 800 patients. 59 patients were included, and their data will not meet the research objectives. The sponsor has decided to prematurely stop inclusions on January 13, 2022.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Tinzaparin Sodium in people with Venous Thromboembolism and Lung Neoplasm, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 27 sites in France.

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 8 inclusion and 13 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 17 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 27 sites in France. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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: The rate of inclusion is too low to hope to reach the target of 800 patients. 59 patients were included, and their data will not meet the research objectives. The sponsor has decided to prematurely stop inclusions on January 13, 2022.). 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?

venous thromboembolic events (time frame: 6 months). 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 17 Nov 2022.
