Pill vs. needle: can Lower-Dose blood thinners protect blood cancer patients from deadly clots?

NCT ID NCT07270263

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two types of blood thinners taken as pills (apixaban and rivaroxaban) against a standard daily injection (enoxaparin) to prevent dangerous blood clots in people with blood cancers like lymphoma, leukemia, and multiple myeloma. About 100 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the three treatments for at least six months. The goal is to see which option is safest and most effective at preventing clots while minimizing bleeding risks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

apixaban, rivaroxaban, and enoxaparin (low-molecular-weight heparin)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer blood cancer patients a safer, more convenient pill option to prevent blood clots, reducing the need for daily injections.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. There is a risk of bleeding with any blood thinner.
