Study summary

Fondaparinux is an antithrombotic agent having already received a regulatory approval by the European Authorities in venous thromboembolic event prevention after major orthopaedic surgery, as total hip replacement (THR), total knee replacement (TKR), hip fracture (HF). The bleeding risk associated with this prescription is highly related to renal function evaluated by creatinin clearance (CrCl). In order to reduce the bleeding risk, it has been proposed to prescribe fondaparinux 1.5 mg/day in patients with a CrCl between 20 and 50ml/mn instead of 2.5mg/day (European MMA). In the meantime, this approval is essentially based on simulated pharmakinetic data without any support of clinical data.

prospective, multicentre, open-label study evaluating the safety profile of fondaparinux 1.5 mg/day, subcutaneously administered, in patients with a renal impairment defined by a CrCl between 20 and 30 ml/min and undergoing a major orthopaedic surgery.

Read the detailed description

Fondaparinux 1.5mg/day subcutaneously administered during post-surgery 1 to 10 days with the 1st treatment administration performed 6 to 8 hours after the end of surgery.

Screening visit : > 7 days before inclusion visit if THR and TKR Inclusion visit : day of surgery Visits with blood drawing: 3 visits scheduled during 1 to 10 days of treatment period Study end of treatment visit: D1 to D10 Study end visit: 1 month ± 15 days

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Patients With Major Bleedings Between Day 1 and Day 10.

    evaluate between Day 1 and Day 10, the number of patients under study treatment who has affected by major bleedings defined as fatal, involved a critical organ, treatment cessation, occurred at the surgical site and necessitated any medical intervention, or if it was overt and necessitated transfusion of \>2 units of packed red blood cells or was associated with a fall in hemoglobin \>20 g/L.

    Time frame: 10 day

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Patients With Major Bleedings at 1 Month ± 5 Days.

    evaluate the number of patients affected by major bleedings defined as fatal, involved a critical organ, treatment cessation, occurred at the surgical site and necessitated any medical intervention, or if it was overt and necessitated transfusion of \>2 units of packed red blood cells or was associated with a fall in hemoglobin \>20 g/L at 1 month ± 5 days.

    Time frame: 45 day

  2. Number of Patients With Symptomatic Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pumonary Embolism Between Day 1 and Day 10

    Evaluate the number of patients affected by symptomatic Deep Vein Thrombosis (any symptomatic distal and/or proximal deep-vein thrombosis) and Pumonary Embolism (symptomatic pulmonary embolism confirmed by objective tests) between Day 1 and Day 10.

    Time frame: 10 days

  3. Number of Patients With Symptomatic Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pumonary Embolism at 1 Month ± 5 Days

    Evaluate the number of patients affected by symptomatic Deep Vein Thrombosis (any symptomatic distal and/or proximal deep-vein thrombosis) and Pumonary Embolism (symptomatic pulmonary embolism confirmed by objective tests) at 1 month ± 5 days.

    Time frame: at 1 month ± 5

  4. Death at 1 Month ± 5 Days

    Evaluate the total number of death at 1 month ± 5 days

    Time frame: 1 month ± 5 days
