Brief Summary

Surgical hip replacement (total hip arthroplasty, THA) is associated with a high risk of venous thromboembolism, but the appropriate duration of postoperative medical thromboprophylaxis ("anticoagulation") remains highly controversial. The international randomized controlled trial (RCT) "ENhanced recovery and ABbreviated LEngth of Anticoagulation for Thromboprophylaxis after primary Hip Arthroplasty" (ENABLE-Hip) will enroll patients undergoing elective THA that are eligible for early mobilization after surgery. The trial will compare a regimen of short-duration (10-day) postoperative anticoagulation (experimental group) to standard-duration (35-day) postoperative anticoagulation (control group) using the direct oral anticoagulant Rivaroxaban (brand name: Xarelto) at the recommended dose. Thus, ENABLE-Hip will be the first major RCT to directly test an overall reduction in the duration of post-THA thromboprophylaxis instead of replacing one antithrombotic drug or regimen by another. Follow-up visits after hospital discharge will be on day 35 and on day 90 after surgery. The primary outcome is acute symptomatic proximal deep vein thrombosis, or symptomatic or fatal pulmonary embolism, within 90 days after surgery. If ENABLE-Hip will demonstrate 'non-inferiority' of the experimental intervention, its benefits will be obvious, as patients are spared many days of unnecessary (and potentially harmful in terms of bleeding risk) anticoagulation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The primary efficacy endpoint is the rate of acute symptomatic or fatal VTE

    acute symptomatic or fatal VTE, defined as (i) symptomatic DVT of the popliteal or more proximal leg veins (femoral or iliac veins) or inferior vena cava; or (ii) symptomatic (segmental or more proximal) or fatal PE, occurring in the first 90 days after surgery and confirmed by objective testing.

    within 90 days after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • Length of hospital stay

    within 90 days after surgery

  • Changes in patient-reported hip joint-specific disability

    within 90 days after surgery

  • Rate of clinically relevant non-major bleedings

    within 90 days after surgery

  • Rate of death from any cause

    within 90 days after surgery

  • Rate of isolated symptomatic distal DVT

    within 90 days after surgery

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 85 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Written informed consent
  • Age between 18 and 85 years
  • Scheduled to undergo elective unilateral primary THA and eligible for perioperative management based on the ERAS protocol
  • Baseline Timed Up and Go (TUG) test scoring \< 20 seconds, corresponding to a good mobility status before surgery
  • Capability to understand and comply with the protocol requirements (e.g., sufficient knowledge of German language to answer the questionnaires, ability to swallow intact capsules).
  • Pregnancy and contraception:
  • Pregnancy test: Negative serum pregnancy test at screening for women of childbearing potential (WOCBP).
  • Contraception: WOCBP and men who are able to father a child, willing to be abstinent or use highly effective methods of birth control that result in a low failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly beginning at informed consent, for the duration of drug treatment and allowing for a safe wash out period of at least 5 days for female or for male subjects after the last dose of trial medication. This is a very conservative estimate, considering the 'worst case scenario' of a substantially prolonged half-life up to 13 hours (e.g., in older patients and/or those with renal dysfunction) (28), and calculating for at least 8 half-lives to ensure practically non-detectable levels and effects of rivaroxaban.

You may not qualify if:

  • Previous DVT or PE
  • Hip or lower limb fracture in the previous three months
  • Major surgical procedure within the previous three months
  • Active cancer defined as metastatic cancer, or cancer requiring chemotherapy or radiation therapy
  • Active peptic ulcer disease, gastritis, or prior gastrointestinal bleeding
  • Obesity with body mass index (BMI) \> 40 kg/m2 body surface area
  • Severe renal impairment defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate \< 30ml/min
  • Severe hepatic impairment defined as Child Pugh Class B or C
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness (i.e., active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, interstitial lung disease, serious gastrointestinal conditions \[e.g., diarrhea, malabsorption\], psychiatric illness)
  • Active or recent major bleeding at any site, or presence of any major risk factor for bleeding, which, in the judgment of the investigator, may significantly increase the bleeding risk during postoperative anticoagulation treatment
  • Any other medical condition representing a contraindication to discharge within 6 days after surgery
  • Expected requirement for major surgery within a 90-day period post THA
  • Need for long-term anticoagulation (e.g., atrial fibrillation, previous VTE)
  • Need for chronic antiplatelet therapy except for acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) at a dose ≤ 100 mg daily or clopidogrel 75 mg daily
  • Previous participation in this trial
  • +2 more criteria
