Clinical trial

Hamburg Edoxaban for Anticoagulation in COVID-19 Study

Name
HERO-19
Description
Hero-19 aims to evaluate if an intensive anticoagulation strategy using Edoxaban on top of standard of care (SOC) of COVID-19 therapy is superior to SOC (in-hospital moderate anticoagulation strategy = low-dose low-molecular weight heparin \[LMWH\], ambulatory no anticoagulation, i.e. placebo within this trial) in reduction of morbidity and mortality endpoints in patients with COVID-19.
