Could a daily blood thinner protect sick children from dangerous line clots?
NCT ID NCT07710482
First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This trial investigates whether giving a blood thinner (enoxaparin) to critically ill children with a central venous line can reduce complications like clots and blockages. About 80 children in the pediatric ICU will be randomly assigned to receive either enoxaparin or standard care. The study will track clot formation, line function, infections, and bleeding risks over 14 to 30 days.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a blood thinner called enoxaparin, given as a shot under the skin
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a way to reduce dangerous blood clots and line blockages in critically ill children with central lines.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial, so results may not apply broadly. Giving blood thinners to sick children also raises the risk of bleeding.
