168Prospective, monocentric, randomized, parallel group, rater-blinded study using two formulations of Enoxaparin sodium (ENOXA® vs LOVENOX®) to compare the thromboembolic events (symptomatic and asymptomatic) in patients undergoing gastrointestinal cancer surgery and thromboprophylactic treatment with either Enoxaparin formulations.
The study has a secondary focus as to evaluate the immunogenicity of the two formulations of Enoxaparin through a subgroup analysis.
Study followup duration is up to 30 days post surgical procedure.
Patients under ENOXA® 4000 IU according to randomization: Administer ENOXA® 4000 IU (Enoxaparin 4000 IU) per day, regardless of the patient's weight at inclusion Start injections 12 hours after the surgical procedure Administer ENOXA® subcutaneously The administration of ENOXA® should be at the same time on a daily basis for 30 successive days as per the american and french clinical guidelines
Patients under LOVENOX® 4000 IU according to randomization: Administer LOVENOX® 4000 IU (Enoxaparin 4000 IU) per day, regardless of the patient's weight at inclusion Start injections 12 hours after the surgical procedure Administer LOVENOX® subcutaneously The administration of LOVENOX® should be at the same time on a daily basis for 30 successive days as per the american and french clinical guidelines
