Venous Thormboembolism Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomized, Phase II Study Of Weight-Based Versus Standard Dose Enoxaparin Thromboprophylaxis In High-Risk Hospitalized Cancer Patients
Hospitalized patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of solid tumor malignancy, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma and who are at high risk for a venous thromboembolism will be randomized to standard dose versus intermediate dose enoxaparin.
In a phase II trial, high risk hospitalized cancer patients will be enrolled and randomized to standard dose enoxaparin versus intermediate dose (weight adjusted) enoxaparin thromboprophylaxis. Study subjects will be administered enoxaparin during hospitalization in a double-blinded manner. Following completion of 14 days, the study arms will be unblinded and lower extremity ultrasound performed on the standard dose enoxaparin arm in order to more accurately determine the overall cumulative incidence of thrombosis in this group. ;
