Cancer patients face dangerous choice: blood clots vs. bleeding risk

NCT ID NCT05255003

Summary

This study aims to find the safest way to treat blood clots in cancer patients who also have low platelet counts, which increases their risk of dangerous bleeding. Fifty patients will be randomly assigned to receive either a full dose of blood thinners with platelet transfusions or a reduced dose of blood thinners alone. The goal of this pilot study is to see if a larger, definitive trial is possible to determine the best treatment strategy for these high-risk patients.
