A Pilot Study Assessing Feasibility of a Randomized, Placebo-controlled Trial of Low-Molecular-Weight-Heparin for Postpartum Prophylaxis in Women at Risk of Developing Venous Thromboembolism (pilot PROSPER Trial: PostpaRtum PrOphylaxiS for PE Randomized Control Trial).
FY 2009-10
Summary
The weeks after delivery are known to be a time of high risk for women to develop blood clots in their legs and lungs. Certain women are at particularly high risk due to factors related to their pregnancy, delivery, lifestyle or heredity. We plan to conduct a pilot study to determine the feasibility of a large drug trial with this group of women. The trial will compare the effectiveness of daily blood thinners (low molecular weight heparin) versus placebo, taken for 3 weeks after delivery, at preventing blood clots during this period.
