Summary

Randomized, controlled study conducted in hospitalized patients with severe COViD-19 pneumonia and coagulopathy not requiring invasive mechanical ventilation.

Aim of this study is to assess whether high doses of Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) (ie. Enoxaparin 70 IU/kg twice daily) compared to standard prophylactic dose (ie, Enoxaparin 4000 IU once day) are:

1. More effective to prevent clinical worsening, defined as the occurrence of at least one of the following events, whichever comes first, during hospital stay:

1. Death
2. Acute Myocardial Infarction \[AMI\]
3. Objectively confirmed, symptomatic arterial or venous thromboembolism \[TE\]
4. Need for either non-invasive - Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (Cpap) or Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) - or invasive mechanical ventilation for patients who are in standard oxygen therapy by delivery interfaces at randomisation
5. Need for invasive mechanical ventilation for patients who are in non-invasive mechanical ventilation at randomisation
2. Similar in terms of major bleeding risk during hospital stay
