Could a simple pill stop deadly clots in cancer patients?

NCT ID NCT07160686

Summary

This large trial aims to see if a daily pill called apixaban can prevent dangerous blood clots in people with advanced lung cancer who are receiving chemotherapy. About 1,456 patients will be randomly assigned to take either the real pill or a placebo (sugar pill) for six months alongside their cancer treatment. The goal is to determine if this convenient oral medication is a safe and effective way to reduce a common and serious complication of cancer care.
