Summary

This study tested a new drug called SHR-2004 to prevent dangerous blood clots in people undergoing elective total knee replacement. Over 1,100 adults participated, receiving either SHR-2004 or a standard blood thinner. The goal was to see if SHR-2004 could reduce clots in the legs or lungs while keeping bleeding risks low.
