NCT ID NCT06180889
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new drug called KN060, given as a single intravenous dose, to prevent blood clots in people having total knee replacement surgery. It compares KN060 to the standard treatment enoxaparin, which requires daily injections. The trial involves 241 adults and is currently active but not recruiting.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- KN060 (a single-dose intravenous infusion) compared to enoxaparin (daily injections)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, KN060 could offer a simpler, single-dose option to prevent dangerous blood clots after knee replacement surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 2 trial with only 241 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Bleeding risk is a key safety concern.
