About this study

Official title: COVID-19-associated Coagulopathy: Safety and Efficacy of Prophylactic Anticoagulation Therapy in Hospitalized Adults With COVID-19

This prospective, randomized, open-label, multi-center interventional study is designed to compare the safety and efficacy of two LMWH dosing protocols in patients admitted to the University of Iowa Hospitals with COVID-19 who meet the modified ISTH Overt DIC criteria score ≥3. Patients will be randomized to standard prophylactic dose LMWH (standard of care arm) or intermediate-dose LMWH (intervention arm).

Read the detailed description

Potentially eligible patients will be identified by a healthcare professional per institutional policy on privacy. The healthcare professional will assess the eligibility of the patient by performing a chart review which will include laboratory results and weight as measured on admission to the hospital. After obtaining verbal consent from the patient to be contacted for the study, a member of the research staff will approach the patient to be part of the study. The research staff will obtain informed consent from the patient/LAR before collecting any data and performing any procedures.

5.2 Trial interventions

As standard of care, hospitalized patients with confirmed COVID-19 will be monitored for coagulopathy. Daily blood tests for platelet count, prothrombin time, D-Dimer, and fibrinogen and weekly thromboelastography will be obtained, and a daily Modified ISTH Overt DIC score will be calculated (Exhibit 1). Only patients meeting all inclusion and exclusion criteria will be asked to participate in the trial. Patients will be randomized to one of two arms:

  1. Patients randomized to the standard of care arm will receive standard prophylactic dose enoxaparin (40 mg subcutaneously daily if BMI <30 kg/m2; 30 mg subcutaneously twice daily or 40 mg subcutaneously twice daily if BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2).
  2. Patients randomized to the intervention arm will receive intermediate-dose enoxaparin (1 mg/kg Subcutaneously daily if BMI <30 kg/m2 or 0.5 mg/kg Subcutaneously twice daily if BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2), with doses rounded up to the nearest dose syringe in hospitalized patients with laboratory confirmed SARS CoV-2 infection.

5.3 Dose Modifications

  1. Enoxaparin will be held if platelets decrease to <25,000/mm3. Enoxaparin will resume once platelets increase to ≥25,000/ mm3.
  2. Enoxaparin will be held if fibrinogen is <50 mg/dL. Enoxaparin will resume once fibrinogen increases to ≥50 mg/dL.
  3. Enoxaparin will be held if estimated Creatinine clearance < 15 ml/min calculated by the modified Cockcroft and Gault formula and resumed once the Creatinine Clearance is ≥15 ml/min.
  4. Enoxaparin will be held if there is a clinical suspicion for heparin induced thrombocytopenia.
  5. Enoxaparin dose will be reduced by 25% if Creatinine Clearance ≥15 and <30 ml/min calculated by the modified Cockcroft and Gault formula and increased once the estimated Creatinine Clearance is ≥30 ml/min in both the arms.

All participating patients will continue the assigned doses of enoxaparin until hospital discharge or until a clinical event occurs requiring either discontinuation of anticoagulation therapy or full therapeutic dose anticoagulation therapy.

Intermediate dose thromboprophylaxis, Standard of Care thromboprophylaxis

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Intermediate dose thromboprophylaxisDrug

    Also called intermediate dose Enoxaparin

    1. Patients randomized to the intervention arm will receive intermediate-dose enoxaparin (1 mg/kg Subcutaneously daily if BMI<30kg/m2 or 0.5 mg/kg Subcutaneously twice daily if BMI ≥ 30kg/m2).
  • Standard of Care thromboprophylaxisDrug

    Patients randomized to the standard of care arm will receive standard prophylactic dose enoxaparin (40 mg subcutaneously daily if BMI <30kg/m2 and 30 mg subcutaneously twice daily or 40 mg subcutaneously twice daily if BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Intermediate dose thromboprophylaxis in people with COVID 19 Associated Coagulopathy, run by University of Iowa at 2 sites in United States.

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 10 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 1 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Mar 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Mortality (time frame: 30 Days post intervention). 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 NCT04360824, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 1 Mar 2023.
