Title: A Multinational, Multicenter, Randomized, Double Blind Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of AVE5026 With Enoxaparin for the Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism in Patients Undergoing Major Abdominal Surgery
Brief Summary: The primary objective is to compare the efficacy and safety of once daily (q.d.) subcutaneous (s.c.) injections of Semuloparin sodium (AVE5026) with q.d. s.c. injections of Enoxaparin for the prevention of Venous Thromboembolic Events (VTE) in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery.

The secondary objectives are to evaluate the safety of Semuloparin sodium (AVE5026) and to document Semuloparin sodium (AVE5026) exposure in this population.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* A histologic diagnosis of malignancy;
* At planned initiation of a new systemic chemotherapy regimen (including patients starting on first chemotherapy or patients previously treated but starting on a new regimen);
* A risk score for VTE ≥3 \[assign score of 2 for very high risk sites of cancer (stomach, pancreas), score of 1 for high risk site (lung, lymphoma, gynecologic, bladder, testicular) and score of 0 for all other sites\], hemoglobin \<10 g/dL or planned use of erythropoiesis stimulating agents, platelet count ≥350,000/mm3, total leukocyte count \> 11,000/mm3 or body mass index ≥ 35 kg/m2\]. Any counts meeting criteria drawn within 2 weeks prior to enrollment are considered acceptable.
* Age 18 years or older
* Provide written, informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Active bleeding or at high risk of serious bleeding complication in the opinion of the investigator
* Diagnosis of primary brain tumor multiple myeloma, leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndrome
* Planned stem cell transplant
* Life expectancy \< 6 months
* Known allergy to heparin or LMWH
* Patient or caregiver incapable of daily self-injection
* Acute or chronic renal insufficiency with creatinine clearance \< 30 mL/min
* History of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
* Allergy to contrast agents
* Pregnancy
* Need for anticoagulant therapy
* Platelet count \< 75,000/mm3
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Male or female subjects with age ≥ 18 years or the otherwise legal lower age according to the country of residence;
* Confirmed acute lower extremity proximal DVT or PE for which long term treatment with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is indicated;
* Cancer, other than basal-cell or squamous-cell carcinoma of the skin;
* Able to provide written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Thrombectomy, insertion of a caval filter, or use of a fibrinolytic agent to treat the current (index) episode of DVT and/or PE;
* Treatment with therapeutic doses of an anticoagulant other than that used for pretreatment of the current (index) VTE episode prior to randomization;
* Active bleeding or high risk for bleeding contraindicating treatment with LMWH or edoxaban;
* Any other contraindication listed in the local labeling of dalteparin, enoxaparin, or edoxaban;
C: Inclusion criteria:

Inclusion_Criteria

* Acute symptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
* Pulmonary embolism (PE) 3-12 months prior to screening, which has been documented by objective testing

Exclusion criteria:

Exclusion_Criteria

* Symptomatic DVT or PE at screening Interruption of anticoagulant therapy for 2 or more weeks during the 3-12 months of treatment for the prior VTE.
* Patients who in the investigators judgement are perceived as having an excessive risk of bleeding Elevated Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or Alanine tranminase (ALT) \> 2x ULN
* Severe renal impairment (estimated creatinine clearance \<= 30 ml/min)
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patient undergoing major abdominal surgery (open surgery under general anesthesia lasting more than 45 minutes in the peritoneal and/or retroperitoneal space and/or pelvis).
* Patient \<60 years of age had to have one of the following additional risk factors for VTE:

  * History of VTE,
  * Obesity,
  * Chronic Heart failure,
  * Chronic Respiratory Failure,
  * Inflammatory Bowel Disease,
  * Cancer Surgery.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Any major orthopedic or general surgery in the 3 months prior to study start;
* Clinical signs or symptoms of DVT or PE within the last 12 months or known post phlebitic syndrome;
* Any contra-indications to the performance of venography;
* High risk of bleeding;
* Known hypersensitivity to heparin or Enoxaparin sodium;
* End stage renal disease or patient on dialysis.
