Abstract

Enoxaparin sodium (enoxaparin) is used worldwide for the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Registration trials of enoxaparin have been conducted primarily in Caucasian populations, and its preventive use in Japanese patients has yet to be established. To address this, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of postoperative enoxaparin in Japanese patients undergoing surgery for abdominal cancer. This multicenter, open-label study randomized 151 Japanese patients undergoing curative surgery for abdominal cancer to enoxaparin 20mg twice daily for 14 days, started 24-36 hours after surgery (n=113) or intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) as a reference (n=38). IPC was performed at least once in both groups between randomization and surgery. The primary efficacy endpoint was the incidence of VTE in the modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population. The primary safety outcome was the incidence of any bleeding during treatment and follow-up. Incidence of VTE was 1.2% (95% CI, 0.03-6.53%) (1/83 patients) in the enoxaparin group and 19.4% (95% CI, 7.45-37.47%) (6/31 patients) in the IPC group. In the safety population, 10/109 patients in the enoxaparin group (9.2%; 95% CI, 4.49-16.23%) and 3/38 patients in the IPC group (7.9%...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
