Similarly to the initial demonstration of the benefit of thromboprophylaxis for acutely ill medical patients, first established by the MEDENOX trial, the EXCLAIM study should be a landmark trial in advancing the standard of care of patients at high risk for VTE and it further establishes enoxaparin as a reference treatment for VTE prophylaxis in acutely ill medical patients.
The results of EXCLAIM will expand on the earlier MEDENOX (Prophylaxis in MEDical patients with ENOXaparin) study, which found that daily 40-mg subcutaneous injections of Lovenox for six to 14 days reduced the incidence of VTE in acutely ill medical patients during hospitalization by 63 percent compared with placebo, without increasing the risk of major hemorrhage.
