Blood thinner dosing study for injury patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new way to give blood thinners to people who have been in a serious accident. The goal is to see if adjusting the dose based on your blood levels helps prevent dangerous blood clots.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been hospitalized after an injury affecting two or more body parts (like head, chest, belly, pelvis, or leg).
- You have at least one high-risk factor: age 65 or older, body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more, a high injury severity score, a pelvic or leg injury that limits activity, or you had surgery during this hospital stay.
- Your doctor decides it is safe for you to receive blood thinner medication, and you can start it within 48 hours of being admitted.

This study tests whether a blood thinner (LMWH) can help prevent dangerous blood clots in teens with a central line and infection or inflammation in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It aims to find a safer, more personalized way to use preventive treatment.
This trial tests if a higher dose of a blood thinner (enoxaparin) works better than the standard dose to prevent dangerous blood clots in the legs or lungs after a severe injury. It is for adults in the intensive care unit who are expected to stay more than 48 hours.
This Phase 2 trial studies whether giving antithrombin can better prevent harmful blood clots (venous thromboembolism) after serious injuries. The goal is to reduce clot risk while you’re in the trauma ICU or step-down unit.
This Phase 3 trial compares the best “blood thinner” approach for people who have a new clot in the leg (DVT) or lung (PE) and who already take antiplatelet medicines for heart or blood-vessel prevention. It aims to find an antithrombotic plan that lowers clot risk while managing bleeding risk.
This study tests whether taking a blood thinner (anticoagulant) pill can prevent dangerous blood clots in people who have a hard cast or brace on their leg after an injury. It compares two different blood thinners to see which works better.
This study looks at when it is safest to start blood thinners to prevent blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) after a type of bleeding stroke called hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. Researchers want to find the best time to start this prevention treatment.
