Three month treatment of acute VTE with Fragmin in pediatric cancer patients
Primary study objectives include are to determine the pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles for treatment doses of dalteparin in pediatric subjects of different ages with cancer and venous thromboembolism (VTE), using anti-Xa (Xa) levels and a population PD analysis methodology, and to determine the median dose required to achieve therapeutic anti- Xa levels (0.5 to 1.0 International Units \[IU\]/mL) based on subject age and weight.

Median Dose of Dalteparin Required to Achieve Prespecified Therapeutic Anti- Factor Xa Level
Prespecified therapeutic anti-factor Xa level was 0.5-1.0 international unit per milliliter (IU/mL). Cumulative data of Day 1 to 7 has been reported.
Time frame: 4 hours post-dose at each Day 1 to 7 in dose adjustment phase
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Prespecified Therapeutic Anti- Factor Xa Levels
Prespecified therapeutic anti-factor Xa level was 0.5-1.0 IU/mL. Percentage of participants who achieved the prespecified level during the dose adjustment phase were reported in this outcome measure.
Time frame: Day 1 to 7 in dose adjustment phase
Number of Participants With New or Progressive Symptomatic Venous Thromboembolism (VTE)
Symptomatic VTE defined as new or progressive signs and symptoms as judged by the investigator including but not limited to: objective swelling, pain or tenderness, pitting edema, erythema or cyanosis. Progression of VTE: Progression of clot burden in terms of severity of occlusion, or involvement of new venous segments at any time after the initial diagnosis.
Time frame: Baseline up to 28 days after the last dose of study drug (up to Day 132)
Time to First Occurrence of Symptomatic Recurrent Venous Thromboembolism (VTE)
It was defined as the time interval (in days) between date of first study treatment and date of documentation of first VTE. VTEs included both DVT and PE. DVT is a blood clot in the deep veins of the leg. If a DVT clot breaks off from a vein wall and flows towards the lungs and blocks some or all of the blood supply, it becomes PE. When a blood clot breaks, loose and travels in the blood, this is called VTE. VTE was confirmed by at least one radiographic test and was defined as any new or progressive VTE whose signs and symptoms (identified by the investigator) included: objective swelling or tenderness, pitting edema, erythema or cyanosis.
Time frame: Baseline up to 28 days after the last dose of study drug (up to Day 132)

Percentage of Participants With Clinical Response of Progression, Regression, Resolution and No Change in Venous Thromboembolism (VTE)
VTEs included both DVT and PE. DVT is a blood clot in the deep veins of the leg. PE is a blood clot in the lungs. Clinical response of progression was defined as progression of clot burden in terms of severity of occlusion, or involvement of new venous segments at any time after the initial diagnosis. Clinical response of regression: Regressed clot burden utilizing the same imaging modality as the screening visit. Clinical response of resolution: Thrombus resolution of the qualifying event measured by repeat imaging at the end of study (EOS) visit.

Percentage of Participants With Major and Minor Bleeding Event
A bleeding event was considered as major if it was clinically overt and satisfies 1 or more of the following criteria: fatal bleeding, bleeding accompanied by a decrease in hemoglobin of at least 2 grams per deciliter 24 hours, Overt bleeding deemed by the attending physician to necessitate permanent discontinuation of trial medication, Overt bleeding deemed by the attending physician to be unrelated to the participant's underlying condition and accompanied by blood product administration or bleeding occurred at a critical site (intraocular, intracranial, retroperitoneal). A bleeding event was considered as minor if it was clinically overt but not meeting the criteria for major or clinically relevant no major bleeding (bleeding resulting in any medical or surgical interventions but which did not meet the criteria for major bleeding).
Time frame: Baseline up to 28 days after the last dose of study drug (up to Day 132)
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

Treatment-emergent were events between first dose of study drug and up to 28 days after the last dose of study drug (up to Day 132) that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. AEs included both SAEs and non-SAEs.
Time frame: Baseline up to 28 days after the last dose of study drug (up to Day 132)
