NCT00331838

Brief Summary

The primary objective was to demonstrate the dose-response of Semuloparin sodium (AVE5026) for the prevention of Venous Thromboembolism \[VTE\] in patients undergoing total knee replacement \[TKR\] surgery. Secondary objectives were to evaluate the safety (incidence of major bleeding) of AVE5026, to document the efficacy and safety of AVE5026 post-operative regimens, and to assess the pharmacokinetic parameters of AVE5026.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Participants Who Experienced Venous Thromboembolism Event (VTE) or VTE-related Death

    VTE included any Deep Vein Thrombosis \[DVT\] identified on mandatory venography of the lower limbs; symptomatic DVT and/or non-fatal pulmonary embolism \[PE\] before mandatory examination; VTE related deaths included fatal PE or deaths which could not be attributed to a documented cause and for which PE could not be ruled out. All events were to be confirmed by a Central Independent Adjudication Committee \[CIAC\] based on venographies, scheduled or unscheduled, and other available diagnostic tests (ultrasonography, ventilation/perfusion lung scan, pulmonary angiography, autopsy report, etc).

    From surgery to Day 11 or the day of mandatory venography, whichever came first

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Number of Participants Who Experienced DVT

    From surgery up to Day 11 or the day of mandatory venography, whichever came first

  • Number of Participants Who Experienced Symptomatic VTE

    From surgery up to Day 11 or the day of mandatory venography, whichever came first

  • Number of Participants Who Experienced Bleedings

    From 1st study drug injection up to 3 days after last study drug injection (median duration of approximately 11 days)

  • Number of Participants Who Required Initiation of Curative Anticoagulant or Thrombolytic Treatment After VTE Assessment

    From surgery up to Day 11 or the day of mandatory venography, whichever came first

Other Outcomes (3)

  • Number of Deaths

    From 1st study drug injection up to 3 days after last study drug injection (median duration of approximately 11 days)

  • Platelets Count: Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Abnormalities [PCSA]

    From 1st study drug injection up to 3 days after last study drug injection (median duration of approximately 11 days)

  • Liver Function: Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Abnormalities [PCSA]

    From 1st study drug injection up to 3 days after last study drug injection (median duration of approximately 11 days)
