Study summary

the risk of bleeding may be greater than the benefit of antithrombotic protection when prophylactically anticoagulating a patient with a lower limb fracture and advanced CKD.

The primary objective was to evaluate the risk major bleeding in patients with lower limb fractures and advance CKD. The secondary objectives were to assess major bleeding in patients with lower limb fractures in CKD stage 4 and 5, thrombosis, death.

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    Anticoagulation

    The intervention drug of interest was prophylactic anticoagulation with enoxaparin 1mg/kg of ideal body weight subcutaneous every 24 hours in patients with eGFR \<30ml/min/1.73m2 (REF); enoxaparin will continue till surgery, any mandatory adverse event, dead or discharge. Enoxaparin or placebo started on admission to the trial, stopped 12 hours before surgery and all patients received prophylaxis anticoagulation restarted 6 to 12 hours postoperatively according to orthopedic surgeon practices. We choose enoxaparin, a low molecular weight heparin according to the ACCP guidelines as the gold standard for VTE prophylaxis in orthopedic patients

    Drug: Enoxaparin

  • Placebo comparator
    No anticoagulation

    The no anticoagulation strategy was considerate the control group, we choose as placebo a bolus of 10ml normal saline 0.9%, was prepared and administered behind a screen or curtain, and the drug was administered through normal IV tubes

    Drug: Enoxaparin

Interventions

  • enoxaparin 1mg/kg of ideal body weight subcutaneous every 24 hours in patients with eGFR \<30ml/min/1.73m2

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Mar 2019 to primary completion in Dec 2024, 69 months.

Of 18 phase 2 interventional studies under Fractures, Bone, half reached primary completion within 33 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 30 and three quarters within 46. This study's 69 months is above that.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 28, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
