Brief Summary:
Three month treatment of acute VTE with Fragmin in pediatric cancer patients

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Venous Thromboembolism Drug: dalteparin Phase 2

Detailed Description:
Primary study objectives include are to determine the pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles for treatment doses of dalteparin in pediatric subjects of different ages with cancer and venous thromboembolism (VTE), using anti-Xa (Xa) levels and a population PD analysis methodology, and to determine the median dose required to achieve therapeutic anti- Xa levels (0.5 to 1.0 International Units [IU]/mL) based on subject age and weight.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Median Dose of Dalteparin Required to Achieve Prespecified Therapeutic Anti- Factor Xa Level [ Time Frame: 4 hours post-dose at each Day 1 to 7 in dose adjustment phase ]
    Prespecified therapeutic anti-factor Xa level was 0.5-1.0 international unit per milliliter (IU/mL). Cumulative data of Day 1 to 7 has been reported.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Prespecified Therapeutic Anti- Factor Xa Levels [ Time Frame: Day 1 to 7 in dose adjustment phase ]
    Prespecified therapeutic anti-factor Xa level was 0.5-1.0 IU/mL. Percentage of participants who achieved the prespecified level during the dose adjustment phase were reported in this outcome measure.

  2. Number of Participants With New or Progressive Symptomatic Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 28 days after the last dose of study drug (up to Day 132) ]
    Symptomatic VTE defined as new or progressive signs and symptoms as judged by the investigator including but not limited to: objective swelling, pain or tenderness, pitting edema, erythema or cyanosis. Progression of VTE: Progression of clot burden in terms of severity of occlusion, or involvement of new venous segments at any time after the initial diagnosis.

  3. Time to First Occurrence of Symptomatic Recurrent Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 28 days after the last dose of study drug (up to Day 132) ]
    It was defined as the time interval (in days) between date of first study treatment and date of documentation of first VTE. VTEs included both DVT and PE. DVT is a blood clot in the deep veins of the leg. If a DVT clot breaks off from a vein wall and flows towards the lungs and blocks some or all of the blood supply, it becomes PE. When a blood clot breaks, loose and travels in the blood, this is called VTE. VTE was confirmed by at least one radiographic test and was defined as any new or progressive VTE whose signs and symptoms (identified by the investigator) included: objective swelling or tenderness, pitting edema, erythema or cyanosis.

  4. Percentage of Participants With Clinical Response of Progression, Regression, Resolution and No Change in Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 28 days after the last dose of study drug (up to Day 132) ]
    VTEs included both DVT and PE. DVT is a blood clot in the deep veins of the leg. PE is a blood clot in the lungs. Clinical response of progression was defined as progression of clot burden in terms of severity of occlusion, or involvement of new venous segments at any time after the initial diagnosis. Clinical response of regression: Regressed clot burden utilizing the same imaging modality as the screening visit. Clinical response of resolution: Thrombus resolution of the qualifying event measured by repeat imaging at the end of study (EOS) visit.

  5. Percentage of Participants With Major and Minor Bleeding Event [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 28 days after the last dose of study drug (up to Day 132) ]
    A bleeding event was considered as major if it was clinically overt and satisfies 1 or more of the following criteria: fatal bleeding, bleeding accompanied by a decrease in hemoglobin of at least 2 grams per deciliter 24 hours, Overt bleeding deemed by the attending physician to necessitate permanent discontinuation of trial medication, Overt bleeding deemed by the attending physician to be unrelated to the participant's underlying condition and accompanied by blood product administration or bleeding occurred at a critical site (intraocular, intracranial, retroperitoneal). A bleeding event was considered as minor if it was clinically overt but not meeting the criteria for major or clinically relevant no major bleeding (bleeding resulting in any medical or surgical interventions but which did not meet the criteria for major bleeding).

  6. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 28 days after the last dose of study drug (up to Day 132) ]
    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent were events between first dose of study drug and up to 28 days after the last dose of study drug (up to Day 132) that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. AEs included both SAEs and non-SAEs.

Number of dose adjustments which were done within the specified time window of up to 4 hours post dose on all days (1 to 7) to achieve the prespecified therapeutic anti-Xa levels are reported.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Total Body Clearance of Dalteparin [ Time Frame: 4 hours post-dose at each Day 1 to 7 in dose adjustment phase ]
    Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood (rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes). Clearance obtained after intravenous infusion dose (apparent clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed.

  2. Volume of Distribution of Dalteparin [ Time Frame: 4 hours post-dose at each Day 1 to 7 in dose adjustment phase ]
    Volume of distribution is defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired blood concentration of a drug.
