Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is single centre pilot, randomized controlled trial assessing postpartum prophylactic anticoagulation with 3 weeks of LMWH followed by 3 weeks of Aspirin compared to standard of care of prophylactic LMWH for 6 weeks at moderate to high risk of developing VTE.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A single centre pilot, randomized controlled trial assessing postpartum prophylactic anticoagulation with 3 weeks of LMWH followed by 3 weeks of Aspirin compared to standard of care of prophylactic LMWH for 6 weeks for women at moderate to high risk of developing VTE to determine feasibility of conducting a large non inferiority trial using the same regimens.
