Reduced-Dose Apixaban and Rivaroxaban Versus Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies
Efficacy and Safety of Reduced-Dose Apixaban and Rivaroxaban Versus Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies: A Prospective Randomized Study
Medical University of Gdansk
100 participants
Nov 22, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This study investigates the efficacy and safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in comparison with standard low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) for the prevention of venous thromboembolism in patients with hematological malignancies. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive reduced-dose apixaban, reduced-dose rivaroxaban, or standard-dose LMWH. The primary objective is to evaluate the incidence of venous thromboembolism during a 6-month follow-up period. Secondary objectives include assessment of bleeding complications, overall survival, and treatment adherence. The results of this study may provide evidence for safer and more convenient thromboprophylaxis strategies in patients with blood cancers.
