Venous Thromboembolism, Brain Tumors
Sex
Females and Males
Age
Pediatric Trials: 0-17 Years
Adult Trials: 18+ Years

Inclusion Criteria
The factors, or reasons, that allow a person to participate in a clinical study.
Show details

- Both of the following criteria must be satisfied:

1. Patients with newly-diagnosed pathologically-confirmed WHO Grade 3 or Grade 4 glioma (anaplastic astrocytoma, glioblastoma multiforme, gliosarcoma, anaplastic oligodendroglioma, and anaplastic mixed glioma). Tumour histology is based on local pathology review only;

2. Patients 18 years of age or older at time of randomization

Exclusion Criteria
The factors, or reasons, that prevent a person from participating in a clinical study.
Show details


- If one or more of the following criteria are satisfied, the patient is not eligible
for the study:


1. The presence of acute or chronic DVT demonstrated by duplex ultrasonography (DUS)
or venography. (Note: a screening DUS is not required for study entry);


2. Inability to commence study drug within four weeks of original surgery or biopsy;


3. Serious hemorrhage requiring hospitalization, transfusion, or surgical
intervention within four weeks of potential study entry;


4. Presence of a coagulopathy (e.g. INR >1.5 or platelet count < 100x109/L);


5. Symptomatic intracranial or intratumoural bleeding. (Note: post-operative imaging
of the brain is not required for study entry. Asymptomatic "routine"
post-operative blood products in a post-surgical cavity are not an exclusion;


6. Known acute (symptomatic or actively bleeding) gastroduodenal ulcer;


7. Familial bleeding diathesis;


8. Requiring long term anticoagulants for other reasons (e.g., mechanical heart
valves, atrial fibrillation);


9. Uncontrolled hypertension despite antihypertensive therapy;


10. Significant renal failure (dependent on dialysis or creatinine of greater than
three times upper limit of normal control);


11. Prior history of documented DVT or PE;


12. Allergy to anticoagulants (UFH, LMWH) including immune-mediated heparin-induced
thrombocytopenia;


13. Pregnant or of childbearing potential and not using adequate contraception;


14. Geographically inaccessible for follow-up;


15. Having an expected life span of less than 6 months;


16. Body weight < 40 kg.

Brief Title  ICMJE Dalteparin Low Molecular Weight Heparin for Primary Prophylaxis of Venous Thromboembolism in Brain Tumour Patients
Official Title  ICMJE A Trial of Dalteparin Low Molecular Weight Heparin for Primary Prophylaxis of Venous Thromboembolism in Brain Tumour Patients (PRODIGE)
Brief Summary In patients with malignant glioma, to determine the efficacy of prophylaxis with LMWH (dalteparin) compared to placebo, both commenced beyond the immediate postoperative period, for the prevention of VTE.
Detailed Description Patients are randomized 1:1 to receive dalteparin 5,000 anti-Xa units s.c. daily versus placebo s.c. daily. The primary outcome is VTE-free survival at 6 months. Progression free survival; overall survival, toxicity, and neurocognitive performance are secondary outcome measures.
