Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fondaparinux in comparison with a heparin (nadroparin) in preventing deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in the leg veins), whether symptomatic or detected by ultrasound, and pulmonary embolism (blood clots that migrate to the lungs) in patients with leg injuries below the knee that require a cast or other type of immobilization but not surgery.

Conditions

  • Thrombosis, Venous

Interventions

DRUG

Fondaparinux sodium

After randomization (Day 1), subjects will receive subcutaneously once daily fondaparinux 2.5 mg \[0.5mL\] (1.5 mg \[0.3mL\] in patients with creatinine clearance between 30 and 50 mL/min) for at least 21 Days, up to complete mobilization, corresponding to cast or brace removal. The maximal duration of treatment is 45 days.

DRUG

Nadroparin

After randomization (Day 1), subjects will receive subcutaneously once daily nadroparin 2850 anti-Xa IU (0.3 mL) for at least 21 Days, up to complete mobilization, corresponding to cast or brace removal. The maximal duration of treatment is 45 days.
