Anti-Xa Activity of Enoxaparin for Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism in Severe Nephrotic Syndrome. (ENOX-inNS)

January 26, 2023 updated by: Anna Matyjek, Military Institute of Medicine, Poland

Assessment of Coagulation Disorders and of Enoxaparin's Anti-Xa Activity, When Used for Thromboprophylaxis, in Severe Nephrotic Syndrome.

The primary objective is to test the hypothesis that enoxaparin efficacy is reduced in severe nephrotic syndrome. Another purpose is to compare two dosing regimens.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a rare clinical condition characterized by proteinuria exceeding >3.5 g/24h, hypoalbuminemia, dyslipidemia and edema and is associated with hypercoagulable state. In severe cases, with serum albumin ≤2.5 g/dL, the risk of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) is particularly high, and pharmacological prophylaxis is recommended. However, there is a limited evidence of its efficacy and optimal dosing.

The study is designed as 3 arms clinical trial, with 2 study groups and a single control group. The study groups will include patients with severe NS parallelly, alternately assigned (1:1) into two enoxaparin dosing regimens. The control group will consisted of individuals without proteinuria and edema, similar in terms of age, anthropometric features and renal function to NS patients, who will be administered a standard enoxaparin dose. A peak anti-Xa activity at the steady state will be measured to determine the plasma concentration of enoxaparin. Additional laboratory tests for markers of NS severity, renal function and coagulation system proteins will be performed. The overhydration and body water compartments will be assessed using bioimpedance spectroscopy technique. Nephrotic patients will be followed up by 12 months to assess overt VTE and adverse events associated with enoxaparin use.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Therapeutic enoxaparin's anti-Xa activity in nephrotic syndrome.
