Apixaban Versus Enoxaparin for Postpartum Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis
2026年7月20日 更新者：Ron Beloosesky MD
Apixaban Versus Enoxaparin for Thromboprophylaxis After Delivery
The purpose of this study is to compare the use of oral apixaban to subcutaneous enoxaparin for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in postpartum women at high risk for VTE.
The primary goal is to evaluate medication adherence rates and patient satisfaction with the treatment.
研究概览
详细说明
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a leading cause of pregnancy-related morbidity and mortality.
Current guidelines recommend pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), such as enoxaparin, for postpartum women with increased risk factors.
However, common patient complaints related to enoxaparin include injection site reaction, pain, bruising, bleeding, nausea, vomiting, and cost.
Oral anticoagulation therapy, such as apixaban (an oral factor Xa inhibitor), could obviate many of these negative effects.This single-center, prospective, open-blinded randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the use of apixaban versus enoxaparin for VTE prophylaxis in the postpartum period.
Eligible postpartum women (after vaginal or cesarean delivery) with high risk for VTE will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio.

措施说明 |
大体时间 |
|---|---|---|
|
General Treatment Convenience Assessed by a Study-Specific Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire
大体时间：up to 6 weeks postpartum
|
Patient-reported treatment convenience assessed using a study-specific questionnaire.
The primary measurement is an 11-point general convenience Visual Analog Scale (VAS) where patients rate the overall convenience of their assigned post-partum anticoagulant treatment (oral vs. subcutaneous) from 0 ("Not convenient at all") to 10 ("Very convenient").
Higher scores indicate a higher level of treatment convenience.
The outcome also incorporates a categorical question evaluating whether the treatment was easy to take/receive (categorized as: Agree, Neutral, Disagree).
|
up to 6 weeks postpartum
|
|
Medication Adherence Rate Assessed by Patient Self-Report
大体时间：Up to 6 weeks postpartum
|
Adherence to the prescribed thromboprophylaxis regimen, assessed via patient self-report within the study questionnaire.
Adherence is evaluated through targeted categorical questions regarding compliance: (1) whether the patient faced difficulties remembering to take the medication, and (2) whether any dose was missed during the hospitalization period.
Responses are categorized as "Agree," "Neutral," or "Disagree."
The outcome will be reported as the percentage of patients who demonstrated adherence (i.e., no missed doses and no memory difficulties) versus non-adherent patients

Up to 6 weeks postpartum
|
|
Treatment-Related Pain Intensity Assessed by a Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
大体时间：Up to 6 weeks postpartum
|
Intensity of pain specifically associated with the administration of the assigned anticoagulant therapy.
This is evaluated using an 11-point Visual Analog Scale (VAS) embedded in the questionnaire.
Patients who report experiencing treatment-related pain rate its intensity on a scale ranging from 0 ("No pain at all") to 10 ("Unbearable pain").
Lower scores indicate lower pain levels and better treatment tolerance.
|
Up to 6 weeks postpartum
|
|
Patient Treatment Preference and Recommendation Assessed by Self-Report
大体时间：Up to 6 weeks postpartum
|
Patient preference for future short-term preventative treatment options based on their experience during the clinical trial.
Patients select their preferred route of administration from three options: Oral tablets, Subcutaneous injections, or No preference.
Additionally, the assessment includes a categorical question on whether the patient would recommend their assigned treatment to another person (Categorized as: Agree, Disagree, Do not know).
Results will be presented as the proportion (%) of patients in each preference and recommendation category.

Decrease in hemoglobin values
大体时间：From baseline (admission to labor and delivery unit) up to the day of postpartum discharge (typically 2 to 5 days)
|
Comparison of the decrease in hemoglobin levels between the apixaban and enoxaparin study groups.
The baseline value is defined as the hemoglobin level measured via complete blood count (CBC) upon the patient's admission to the labor and delivery unit.
The final value is the hemoglobin level measured on the day of her clinical discharge from the postpartum ward.
The decrease will be calculated for each participant by subtracting the discharge value from the baseline value.
