E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The OVID study will show whether prophylactic-dose enoxaparin improves survival and reduces any hospitalizations in ambulatory patients aged 50 or older diagnosed with COVID-19, a novel viral disease characterized by severe systemic, pulmonary, and vessel inflammation and coagulation activation. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1) Composite outcome of cardiovascular events, including deep vein thrombosis (including catheter-associated), pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction/myocarditis, arterial ischemia including mesenteric and extremities, acute splanchnic vein thrombosis, or ischemic stroke within 14 days, 30 days, and 90 days of randomization 2) Each component of the primary efficacy outcome, within 14 days, 30 days, and 90 days of randomization.2 2) Net clinical benefit (accounting for the primary efficacy outcome, composite cardiovascular events, and major bleeding), within 14 days, 30 days, and 90 days of enrolment. 3) Primary efficacy outcome, within 14 days, and 90 days of enrolment. 4) Disseminated intravascular coagulation (ISTH criteria, in-hospital diagnosis) within 14 days, 30 days, and 90 days of enrolment. 6) Hospitalization for cardiovascular, pulmonary, or COVID-19-related events within 14 days, 30 days, and 90 days of enrolment.

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1) Signs patient informed consent after being fully informed about the study’s background. 2) Patients aged 50 years or older with a positive test (PCR swab test) for SARS-CoV2 in the past 5 days and eligible for ambulatory treatment. 3) Presence of respiratory symptoms (i.e. cough, sore throat, or shortness of breath) or body temperature >37.5° C. 4) Ability of the patient to travel to the study center by private transportation, performed either by accompanying person from same household or by the patient him/herself (criterion valid for Switzerland only, where inclusion is not necessarily performed on the same day of SARS-CoV2 testing). 5) Ability to comply with standard hygiene requirements at the time of in-hospital visit, including a face mask and hand disinfectant. 6) Ability to walk from car to study center or reach it by wheel chair transport with the help of an accompanying person from the same household also complying with standard hygiene requirements (criterion valid for Switzerland only, where inclusion is not necessarily performed on the same day of SARS-CoV2 testing). 7) Ability to self-administer prefilled enoxaparin injections after instructions received at the study center or availability of a person living with the patient to administer enoxaparin
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1) Any acute or chronic condition posing an indication for anticoagulant treatment, e.g. atrial fibrillation, prior VTE, acute confirmed symptomatic VTE, acute coronary syndrome. 2) Anticoagulant thromboprophylaxis deemed necessary in view of the patient's history, comorbidity or predisposing strong risk factors for thrombosis: a. Any of the following events occurring in the prior 30 days: fracture of lower limb, hospitalization for heart failure, hip/knee replacement, major trauma, spinal cord injury, stroke, b. previous VTE, c. histologically confirmed malignancy, which was diagnosed or treated (surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy) in the past 6 months, or recurrent, or metastatic, or inoperable. 3) Any clinically relevant bleeding (defined as bleeding requiring hospitalization, transfusion, surgical intervention, invasive procedures, occurring in a critical anatomical site, or causing disability) within 30 days prior to randomization or sign of acute bleeding. 4) Intracerebral bleeding at any time in the past or signs/symptoms consistent with acute intracranial hemorrhage. 5) Hemoglobin <8 g/dL and platelet count <50 x 109 cells/L confirmed by recent laboratory test (results <90 days acceptable for Italy and Switzerland; laboratory test performed at baseline visit required for Germany). 6) Subjects with any known coagulopathy or bleeding diathesis, including known significant liver disease associated with coagulopathy. 7) Severe renal insufficiency (baseline creatinine clearance <30 mL/min calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula) confirmed by recent laboratory test (<90 days). 8) Contraindications to enoxaparin therapy, including prior heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and known hypersensitivity. 9) Current use of dual antiplatelet therapy. 10) Participation in other interventional studies over the past 30 days. 11) Non-compliance or inability to adhere to treatment or lack of a family environment or support system for home treatment. 12) Cognitive impairment and/or inability to understand to information provided in the study information. 13) Female who is pregnant, breast-feeding or intends to become pregnant or is of child-bearing potential and not using a highly effective contraceptive method

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary efficacy outcome is a composite of any hospitalization or all-cause death occurring within 30 days of randomization. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Key secondary objectives for this study are to determine if enoxaparin administration versus no treatment reduces specific cardiovascular and thromboembolic complications, namely venous thromboembolism, myocardial infarction or stroke, within 14 days, 30 days and 90 days of randomization, and if this intervention is associated with a net clinical benefit, accounting for major bleeding events. Subgroup analysis to study treatment effects of enoxaparin (versus no treatment) will be conducted in specific subgroups of patients categorized by sex, age (50-70 vs. >70 years), renal function (estimated renal function <50 ml/min vs. 50 ml/min or higher), and concomitant antiplatelet therapy. The study will assess the safety of thromboprophylaxis in COVID-19 ambulatory patients aged 50 or older and quantify the risk of major bleeding, non-major clinically relevant bleeding, and adverse events. |
