20 January 2016Without thromboprophylaxis 1 in 3 (30% to 50%) patients undergoing hip or knee replacement develop asymptomatic DVT, with 1 in 30 (3.5%) suffering symptomatic VTE and 1 in 250 (0.4%) suffering a fatal PE [6].

Trial or other data
01. May 14: Phase 2 study (n=300) compared safety and efficacy of ISIS-FXRx to enoxaparin. Patients received ISIS-FXRx 200mg or 300mg for 6 weeks prior to total knee replacement (TKR) and a dose 6hrs and 3 days afterwards. Patients in the enoxaparin cohort received 40mg the evening prior to TKR surgery, 6-8hrs post-surgery and daily for at least 8 days afterwards. Patients treated with 300 mg of ISIS-FXIRx experienced a seven-fold (p<0.0001) lower incidence of VTEs compared to patients treated with enoxaparin. Patients treated with 200 mg of ISIS-FXIRx had comparable incidence of VTEs compared to patients treated with enoxaparin. Patients treated with ISIS-FXIRx and enoxaparin experienced a very low rate of bleeding with ISIS-FXIRx-treated patients experiencing numerically fewer bleeding events compared to patients treated with enoxaparin.

02. Dec 14: Data from PII study described below (n=293) published on-line in the NEJM. The rate of VTE in pts treated with 300 mg of ISIS-FXIRx vs. enoxaparin was 4.2% and 30.4%, (p<0.001). The rate of VTE in pts treated with 200 mg of ISIS-FXIRx vs. enoxaparin was comparable (26.9% and 30.4%, respectively). Both were well tolerated [2,3].
