Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: All patients between 1 and 19 years of age with primary ALL, who are eligible for and treated within the DCOG ALL-11 or 12 study protocol.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: a. Patients who are already being treated with anticoagulation upon screening (for other indications) b. Patients with a heparin allergy (or for one of its components), a recent history (within 6 months) of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) or any other contraindication listed in the local labeling of LMWH c. Patients without informed consent d. Patients with active bleeding or high risk for bleeding contraindicating anticoagulant therapy (Thrombocytopenia is not an exclusion criterion) e. Patients with renal insufficiency (glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 30 ml/min/1.73m2) f. Patients with hepatic disease which is associated with coagulopathy leading to a clinically relevant bleeding risk
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Incidence of symptomatic objectified VTE during childhood ALL treatment in the intervention and standard arm. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Incidence of the composite of major bleeding or clinically relevant non-major bleeding in the intervention and standard arm; 2. Incidence of composite of asymptomatic and symptomatic objectified VTE during childhood ALL treatment in the intervention and standard arm. 3. ALL treatment outcomes by assessment of complete remission and (overall or disease-free) survival rates in the intervention and standard arm; 4. Identification of clinical risk factors and hematological biomarkers in consecutively included patients with and without VTE; to increase insight in the pathogenesis of coagulation disorders during ALL treatment, and to establish a risk model for VTE | — |
