Background: Retrospective studies suggest that low molecular weight heparin may delay the development of metastasis in patients with resected NSCLC. Methods: Multicentre phase 3 study with patients with completely resected NSCLC who were randomised after surgery to receive chemotherapy with or without nadroparin. The main exclusion criteria were R1/2 and wedge/segmental resection. FDG-PET was required. The primary endpoint was recurrence-free survival (RFS). Results: Among 235 registered patients, 202 were randomised (nadroparin: n = 100; control n = 102). Slow accrual enabled a decrease in the number of patients needed from 600 to 202, providing 80% power to compare RFS with 94 events (α = 0.05; 2-sided). There were no differences in bleeding events between the two groups. The median RFS was 65.2 months (95% CI, 36—NA) in the nadroparin arm and 37.7 months (95% CI, 22.7—NA) in the control arm (HR 0.77 (95% CI, 0.53–1.13, P = 0.19). FDG-PET SUVmax ≥10 predicted a greater likelihood of recurrence in the first year (HR 0.48, 95% CI 0.22–0.9, P = 0.05). Conclusions: Adjuvant nadroparin did not improve RFS in patients with resected NSCLC. In this study, a high SUVmax predicted a greater likelihood of recurrence in the first year. Clinical trial registration: Netherlands Trial registry: NTR1250/1217.
