NCT00709904

Brief Summary

The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of once daily (QD) subcutaneous (SC) injections of Semuloparin sodium (AVE5026) versus placebo for 3 additional weeks following an initial 7 to 10-day venous thromboprophylaxis with open-label AVE5026 in patients having undergone hip fracture surgery. The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety of extended AVE5026 administration.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Participants Who Experience Venous Thromboembolism Events (VTE) or Death From Any Cause During the Extension Treatment Period

    VTE include any Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) (symptomatic or not) and non-fatal Pulmonary Embolism (PE) as confirmed by a Central Independent Adjudication Committee (CIAC) after review of mandatory bilateral venograms and diagnostic tests for suspected VTE. All-cause deaths include fatal PE and deaths for other reason than PE.

    From randomization up to 24 days after randomization or the day of mandatory venography, whichever comes first

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Percentage of Participants Who Experience "Major" VTE or Death From Any Cause

    From randomization up to 24 days after randomization or the day of mandatory venography, whichever comes first

  • Percentage of Participants Who Experience Clinically Relevant Bleedings During the Extension Treatment Period

    From 1st study drug injection in the extension treatment period up to 3 days after last study drug injection

  • Percentage of Participants Who Require the Initiation of Curative Anticoagulant or Thrombolytic Treatment After VTE Assessment During the Extension Treatment Period

    From randomization up to 24 days after randomization or the day of mandatory venography, whichever comes first

Other Outcomes (4)

  • Overview of Reported Bleeding Adverse Event

    From 1st study drug injection up to 3 days after last study drug injection

  • Overview of Deaths

    From 1st study drug injection up to 3 days after last study drug injection

  • Platelets Count: Percentage of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Abnormalities (PCSA)

    From 1st study drug injection up to 3 days after last study drug injection

  • +1 more other outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Semuloparin extension treatment

EXPERIMENTAL

Extension treatment with Semuloparin sodium 20 mg (10 mg if SRI) for 19-23 days following initial treatment with open-label Semuloparin 20 mg (10 mg if SRI) for 7-10 days.

Drug: Open-label Semuloparin sodiumDrug: Semuloparin sodium

Placebo extension treatment

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Extension treatment with placebo (for Semuloparin sodium) for 19-23 days following initial treatment with open-label Semuloparin 20 mg (10 mg if SRI) for 7-10 days

Drug: Open-label Semuloparin sodiumDrug: Placebo (for Semuloparin sodium)

Interventions

0.4 mL (0.2 mL if SRI) solution in ready-to-use 0.5 ml pre-filled syringe Subcutaneous injection once daily with an initial dose given 8 hours after surgery

Also known as: AVE5026
Placebo extension treatmentSemuloparin extension treatment

0.4 mL (0.2 mL if SRI) solution in ready-to-use 0.5 ml prefilled syringe strictly identical in appearance containing the same volume but without active component Subcutaneous injection once daily

Placebo extension treatment

0.4 mL (0.2 mL if SRI) solution in ready-to-use 0.5 ml pre-filled syringe Subcutaneous injection once daily
