Enoxaparin 20mg Versus 30mg Subcutaneously Once Daily in Elderly Patients With Impaired Renal Function

This is a clinical trial including non-surgical patients, 70 years of age or older, with renal impairment requiring pharmacological venous thromboembolism prevention during hospitalization. Patients are randomized to receive either 20 mg or 30mg of enoxaparin. Both dosing regimens of enoxaparin have been approved for thromboprophylaxis in impaired kidney function in different countries. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of enoxaparin 20mg versus 30mg subcutaneously daily by comparing anti-xa levels, thrombosis and bleeding events.
