Study Summary

The primary objective was to compare the efficacy of Semuloparin sodium (AVE5026) with Enoxaparin for the prevention of Venous Thromboembolic Events \[VTE\] in patients undergoing elective knee replacement surgery. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the safety of AVE5026 in patients undergoing elective knee replacement surgery, and to document AVE5026 exposure in this population.

Primary Outcome

VTE included any proximal or distal Deep Vein Thrombosis \[DVT\] (symptomatic or not) and non-fatal Pulmonary Embolism \[PE\] as confirmed by a Central Independent Adjudication Committee \[CIAC\] after central and blind review of mandatory bilateral venograms and diagnostic tests for VTE. All-cause deaths included fatal PE and deaths for other reason than PE.
