Scientific titleA comparison of enoxaparin and tinzaparin as thromboprophylaxis during pregnancy
Study objectivesUnpublished data prepared by our department has shown that pregnant women display some resistance to the use of low molecular weight heparins. We would like to compare the use of enoxaparin and tinzaparin in pregnant women who have a previous history of venous thromboembolism, or who have inherited of acquired condition which predisposes them to venous thromboprophylactic doses as recommended by the respective manufacturers and monitoring the effects by using anti factor Xa assays and thromboelastography.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedThromboembolism
InterventionRandomised controlled trial.
Random allocation to receive:
1. Enoxaparin
2. Tinaparin
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)

We propose to compare the coagulation profiles of enoxaparin and tinaparin. We will use TEG and anti Xa activity to monitor effects.

Target sample size at registration200
Key inclusion criteria1. Pregnant patients with moderate risks of venous thromboembolism
2. Patients with history of recurrent miscarriage
3. Patients on low dose aspirin will be included as this has been shown not to adversely affect their TEG variables
Key exclusion criteria1. Subjects who have been admitted to hospital and are able to maintain their self catheterization regime
2. Subjects with symptomatic urinary tract infection, who are currently undergoing chemotherapy, radiation or steroid therapy, who self catheterize only once a day
