Brief Summary

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

This is an international, open-label, stratified randomized controlled trial with Bayesian adaptive stopping rules to compare the effects of therapeutic-dose heparin vs. usual care pharmacological thromboprophylaxis on outcomes in patients admitted to hospital with community acquired pneumonia (CAP).

Detailed Description

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

The global incidence of hospitalization due to CAP is high and associated with substantive morbidity and mortality. Thrombotic complications - including venous, arterial, and possibly microvascular - occur commonly in hospitalized patients across many etiologies of CAP. Poor outcomes may be mediated by both inflammatory and thrombotic processes leading to respiratory, cardiac, and other end organ dysfunction. There are currently no established therapies that modify the potentially maladaptive immunothrombosis pathway in CAP.

Therapeutic-dose anticoagulation with heparin reduces disease progression and mortality in non-critically ill patients hospitalized with COVID-19 with an acceptable safety profile. COVID-19 shares pathogenic features, including activation of the inflammatory and coagulation cascades, with other pneumonias. Whether therapeutic-dose heparin confers similar clinical benefits in non-COVID-19 CAP is unknown.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Therapeutic-Dose Heparin

Participants randomized to the investigational arm will receive a pragmatic strategy of therapeutic-dose low molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) or unfractionated heparin (UFH) administered daily for up to 14 days or until hospital discharge, whichever occurs first. Participants should start receiving study drug as soon as possible following randomization.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Heparin

Intervention Type DRUG

Preference is for LMWH given ease of administration and possibility of a more favorable safety profile, if no contraindication is present. Enoxaparin, dalteparin, or tinzaparin are acceptable LMWHs to be used for patients in the investigational arm and dose should be based on measured or estimated weight of the patient.

Alternatively, intravenous UFH may be used and may be preferred in the presence of significant renal compromise. Intravenous UFH is typically dosed according to total body weight and pragmatically adjusted according to local institutional policy to achieve an activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) of 1.5-2.5x the reference value, or a corresponding UFH anti-Xa level. If UFH is used, the availability of a local site policy that specifies an aPTT target in this range or a corresponding anti-Xa value is a requirement.

Usual Care

Participants randomized to the control arm will receive usual care thromboprophylactic dose anticoagulation according to local practice. To ensure adequate separation between the study groups, the dose of heparin/LMWH used in the usual care arm should not equal more than half of the approved therapeutic dose for that agent according to local VTE treatment protocols.
