NCT ID NCT07124819

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study compared an experimental oral anticoagulant called Dimolegin to the standard injectable drug Clexane for preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) in 215 adults undergoing hip or knee replacement surgery. The goal was to see if the pill is as effective and safe as the injection in reducing blood clots, clot-related deaths, and bleeding events. If successful, Dimolegin could offer a more convenient, needle-free option for post-surgery clot prevention.
