Eligibility

Age
18 Years to 120 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: • Patients diagnosed with active cancer with solid tumor or hematologic cancer diagnosed histologically or cytologically • Acute proximal, symptomatic and objectively confirmed deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in lower limb (anatomically includes popliteal, femoral [superficial and common] and iliac [external and common]) and / or pulmonary embolism (PE) (located in pulmonary arteries segmental or large) diagnosed within 72 hours prior to randomization. The diagnosis of DVT / PE (in randomization and in relapse) should be made by using appropriate objective images (see Section 10.7.3.4). • Patients> 18 years of age or over the age of majority to give consent according to the specific regulations of the country. • Patients with a functional status of the Eastern Cooperative Cancer Group (ECOG) of 0, 1 or 2 before the VTE episode. • Grant signed informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: • Life expectancy <6 months. • Patients with basal cell carcinoma or non-melanoma skin cancer. • Creatinine clearance <20 ml / min according to the abbreviated formula for the Modification of the Diet in Kidney Disease (aMDRD) (see Appendix V). • Contraindications to anticoagulation • Proven hypersensitivity to the product under investigation (Imnohep®) or to the reference product (warfarin). • History of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). • Therapeutic anticoagulant treatment for acute VTE administered for more than 72 hours before randomization. • Patients who had been receiving therapeutic anticoagulation at the time of the VTE event (ie ineffectiveness of the anticoagulant) • Patients whose compliance with the protocol is unlikely, eg. inability to return to study visits or inability to receive / administer daily subcutaneous injection (SC). • Participation in another interventional study that has treatment with active ingredient or a device under investigation. • Pregnant or breastfeeding women. Pregnancy should be checked by a serum or urine pregnancy test before inclusion. • Women with the ability to procreate and not protect themselves by an effective contraceptive method (according to the definition of contraception mentioned in the Informed Consent Form [ICF]) throughout the course of the study. • Sexually active fertile men if they or their partner (woman with the ability to procreate) are not using effective contraception.
