NCT ID NCT05255003

First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study looks at the best way to treat blood clots in cancer patients who also have low platelet counts, which raises bleeding risk. Researchers will compare two approaches: full-dose blood thinners with platelet transfusions, or a reduced dose without transfusions. The goal is to see if a larger trial is possible, not to prove which strategy is better. About 50 adults with cancer, a recent blood clot, and low platelets will take part.
