Brief Summary

Fondaparinux is an antithrombotic agent having already received a regulatory approval by the European Authorities in venous thromboembolic event prevention after major orthopaedic surgery, as total hip replacement (THR), total knee replacement (TKR), hip fracture (HF). The bleeding risk associated with this prescription is highly related to renal function evaluated by creatinin clearance (CrCl). In order to reduce the bleeding risk, it has been proposed to prescribe fondaparinux 1.5 mg/day in patients with a CrCl between 20 and 50ml/mn instead of 2.5mg/day (European MMA). In the meantime, this approval is essentially based on simulated pharmakinetic data without any support of clinical data.

prospective, multicentre, open-label study evaluating the safety profile of fondaparinux 1.5 mg/day, subcutaneously administered, in patients with a renal impairment defined by a CrCl between 20 and 30 ml/min and undergoing a major orthopaedic surgery.

Detailed Description

Fondaparinux 1.5mg/day subcutaneously administered during post-surgery 1 to 10 days with the 1st treatment administration performed 6 to 8 hours after the end of surgery.

Screening visit : \> 7 days before inclusion visit if THR and TKR Inclusion visit : day of surgery Visits with blood drawing: 3 visits scheduled during 1 to 10 days of treatment period Study end of treatment visit: D1 to D10 Study end visit: 1 month ± 15 days

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Patients With Major Bleedings Between Day 1 and Day 10.10 day

evaluate between Day 1 and Day 10, the number of patients under study treatment who has affected by major bleedings defined as fatal, involved a critical organ, treatment cessation, occurred at the surgical site and necessitated any medical intervention, or if it was overt and necessitated transfusion of \>2 units of packed red blood cells or was associated with a fall in hemoglobin \>20 g/L.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Patients With Major Bleedings at 1 Month ± 5 Days.45 day

evaluate the number of patients affected by major bleedings defined as fatal, involved a critical organ, treatment cessation, occurred at the surgical site and necessitated any medical intervention, or if it was overt and necessitated transfusion of \>2 units of packed red blood cells or was associated with a fall in hemoglobin \>20 g/L at 1 month ± 5 days.

Number of Patients With Symptomatic Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pumonary Embolism Between Day 1 and Day 1010 days

Evaluate the number of patients affected by symptomatic Deep Vein Thrombosis (any symptomatic distal and/or proximal deep-vein thrombosis) and Pumonary Embolism (symptomatic pulmonary embolism confirmed by objective tests) between Day 1 and Day 10.

Number of Patients With Symptomatic Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pumonary Embolism at 1 Month ± 5 Daysat 1 month ± 5

Evaluate the number of patients affected by symptomatic Deep Vein Thrombosis (any symptomatic distal and/or proximal deep-vein thrombosis) and Pumonary Embolism (symptomatic pulmonary embolism confirmed by objective tests) at 1 month ± 5 days.
