Trial Information

A Multinational, Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of AVE5026 in the Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) in Cancer Patients at High Risk for VTE and Who Are Undergoing Chemotherapy


Randomization had to take place just prior to the first study drug injection (randomization
ratio 1:1).

The study period per participant was variable depending on the duration of chemotherapy. It
included:

- a screening period up to 3 weeks,

- a double-blind treatment period,

- a follow-up period of 1 month.

Study end date was at the latest 7 months following the randomization of the last
participant (6 months treatment and 1 month follow-up).


Inclusion Criteria:



Cancer patient with metastatic or locally advanced solid tumor of lung, pancreas, stomach,
colon/rectum, bladder or ovary initiating a (new) course of chemotherapy with a minimum
intent of 3 months therapy

Exclusion Criteria:

- Required systematic venous thromboprophylaxis or curative treatment with
anti-coagulant or thrombolytic;

- High risk of bleeding;

- Severe renal impairment (estimated creatinine clearance <30 mL/min);

- ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status 3 & 4;

- Major surgery within 4 weeks before randomization;

- Known hypersensitivity to unfractionated heparin [UFH] or low molecular weight
heparin [LMWH].

The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a
patient's potential participation in a clinical trial

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Prevention

Outcome Measure:

Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Venous Thromboembolism Event [VTE] or VTE-related Death

Outcome Description:

VTE included any symptomatic Deep Vein Thrombosis [DVT] of lower or upper limbs and any non-fatal Pulmonary Embolism [PE] as confirmed by a Central Independent Adjudication Committee [CIAC] after review of compression ultrasound or venography for DVT, ventilation/perfusion lung scan, pulmonary angiogram or spiral computer tomography lung scan for PE. VTE-related death included fatal PE and unexplained deaths without confirmatory autopsy. Any sudden death could be classified as fatal PE by the CIAC unless diagnostic test results strongly indicated an alternative diagnosis".

Outcome Time Frame:

From randomization up to 3 days after last study drug injection

Safety Issue:

No
