NCT00721760

Brief Summary

The primary objective was to compare the efficacy of once daily \[q.d\] subcutaneous \[s.c.\] injections of Semuloparin sodium (AVE5026) with q.d. s.c. injections of Enoxaparin for the prevention of Venous Thromboembolic Events \[VTE\] in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the safety of AVE5026 in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery, and to document AVE5026 exposure in this population.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Venous Thromboembolism Event [VTE] or All-cause Death

    VTE included any Deep Vein Thrombosis \[DVT\] (proximal or distal, 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 VTE. All-cause deaths included fatal PE and deaths for other reason than PE.

    From randomization up to 10 days after surgery or the day of mandatory venography, whichever came first

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Percentage of Participants Who Experienced "Major" VTE or All-cause Death

    From randomization up to 10 days after surgery or the day of mandatory venography, whichever came first

  • Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Clinically Relevant Bleedings

    From first study drug injection up to 3 days after last study drug injection

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

    From randomization up to 10 days after surgery or the day of mandatory venography, whichever came first

Other Outcomes (3)

  • Overview of deaths

    From first study drug injection up to 3 days after last study drug injection

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

    From first study drug injection up to 3 days after last study drug injection

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

    From first study drug injection up to 3 days after last study drug injection

Study Arms (2)

Semuloparin

EXPERIMENTAL

Semuloparin sodium 20 mg (10 mg if Severe Renal Impairment \[SRI\]) once daily for 7-10 days with an initial dose given 8 hours after surgery Placebo for Enoxaparin sodium prior to surgery according to local standard for Enoxaparin and 12 hours after surgery to maintain the blind
