A Multicenter, Open-Label, Non-Inferiority Randomized Controlled Trial of Postoperative VTE Prevention in Chinese Patients After Colorectal Cancer Surgery

September 1, 2024 updated by: Beijing Friendship Hospital

research objective

  1. Optimize VTE prevention management after CRC surgery.
  2. Improve the prevention and treatment level of VTE in current perioperative patients.
  3. Reduce the social burden of VTE related diseases.

Participants will:

  1. start low molecular weight heparin prophylaxis within 24 hours post-surgery.
  2. The prophylactic regimen for the experimental group lasted 14 days, while the control group received it for 28 days. Low molecular weight heparin is given subcutaneously at a dose of 0.3ml once daily.
  3. atients underwent lower limb color Doppler ultrasound on postoperative days 7 ± 2, 14 ± 3, and 28 ± 5, which included screening for thrombosis in the proximal deep veins (femoral, popliteal), distal deep veins (posterior tibial, fibular, and muscular veins), and their perforating branches.

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.

Study Type

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Renal dysfunction (CrCl<30 mL/min) or liver dysfunction (ALT>3 times the upper limit of normal); Known allergies to LMWH, anesthetics, or contrast agents; There is a systemic bleeding disorder or bleeding tendency, such as active peptic ulcer, uncontrolled hypertension, cerebral thrombosis within 6 months, cerebral hemorrhage, or a history of neurosurgical surgery; Known brain metastases, endocarditis, or previous heparin induced thrombocytopenia; VTE occurred within 3 months before surgery; Use heparin or oral anticoagulant therapy within 5 days before surgery; Pregnant or lactating women; Pregnant or lactating women; Any conditions that researcher determines the subject not suitable for anticoagulant therapy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: experimental group
Low molecular weight heparin should be initiated for drug prevention within 24 hours after surgery, with a preventive course of 14 days
Drug: Low Molecular Weight Heparin (dalteparin)
All patients initiated low molecular weight heparin for drug prevention within 24 hours after surgery. The prevention course for the experimental group patients was 14 days, while the prevention course for the control group patients was 28 days. Low molecular weight heparin is administered subcutaneously once daily at a dose of 0.3ml.
Active Comparator: control arm
All patients should initiate low molecular weight heparin for drug prophylaxis within 24 hours after surgery, with a prophylaxis course of 28 days
Drug: Low Molecular Weight Heparin (dalteparin)
All patients initiated low molecular weight heparin for drug prevention within 24 hours after surgery. The prevention course for the experimental group patients was 14 days, while the prevention course for the control group patients was 28 days. Low molecular weight heparin is administered subcutaneously once daily at a dose of 0.3ml.

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
Time Frame
VTE events, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary thromboembolism (PE).
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Estimated)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
October 1, 2024

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
