Methods |
Multicenter, open‐label, 2‐armed, parallel‐assignment RCT; stratified on disease severity (admission to ICU or not) |
Participants |
602 participants, ≥ 18 years, female and male Inclusion criteria
Adult patient hospitalised for a probable/confirmed COVID‐19 infection (confirmed by serology/PCR or by radiologic signs of COVID‐19 pneumonia in the setting of clinical and laboratory abnormalities suggestive of a SARS‐CoV‐2 infection)
Signed informed consent
Patient affiliated to Social Security
Exclusion criteria
Renal insufficiency with a GFR < 15 mL/min/1.73 m²
AKI KDIGO3
Prophylactic dose of LMWH for > 3 days
Curative dose of LMWH for > 1 day
Recurrent catheter/haemodialysis access thromboses
ECMO required in the next 24 h
Contraindication to LMWH
High bleeding risk (e.g. uncontrolled severe systemic hypertension, recent major bleeding, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, thrombocytopenia < 75 g/L)
History of HIT
Contraindication to blood‐derived products
Impossibility to perform a doppler ultrasound of the lower limbs (e.g. above the knee amputation, severe burn injuries)
Expected death in the next 48 h
Vulnerable patients according to articles L. 1121‐5, L. 1121‐7 et L1121‐8 of French Public Health Code

Interventions |
Experimental: weight‐adjusted prophylactic dose LMWH For example (enoxaparin):
4000 IU twice a day in participants < 50 kg
5000 IU twice a day in participants 50‐70 kg
6000 IU twice a day in participants 70‐100 kg
7000 IU twice a day in participants above 100 kg
Other names: tinzaparin, nadroparin, dalteparin Comparator: low prophylactic dose of LMWH For example (enoxaparin): from 4000 IU once a day in participants admitted in medical ward to 4000 IU twice a day in participants admitted in the ICU. In participants with severe renal insufficiency (GFR = 15‐30 mL/min/1.73 m²), LMWH doses will be reduced by 50%. Other names: tinzaparin, nadroparin, dalteparin |
Outcomes |
Primary
Secondary
Major bleeding (time frame: 28 days). Risk of major bleeding defined by the ISTH
Major bleeding and clinically relevant non‐major bleeding (time frame: 28 days). Risk of major bleeding and clinically relevant non‐major bleeding defined by the ISTH
Net clinical benefit (time frame: 28 days and 2 months). Risk of VTE and major bleeding
VTE at other sites (time frame: 28 days). Risk of venous thrombosis at other sites: e.g. superficial vein, catheters, haemodialysis access, ECMO, splanchnic, encephalic, upper limb
Arterial thrombosis (time frame: 28 days). Risk of arterial thrombosis at any site
All‐cause mortality (time frame: 28 days and 2 months). Risk of all‐cause mortality
Factors associated with the risk of VTE (time frame: 28 days). Identification of associations between the risk of VTE and clinical (e.g. past medical history of thrombosis, cardiovascular risk factors, treatments, severity of COVID‐19) and laboratory variables (e.g. D‐dimers, fibrinogen, C‐reactive protein) collected in the electronic Case Report Form
