New study seeks best blood clot treatment for cancer patients with low platelets

NCT ID NCT05255003

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

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 versus a reduced dose without transfusions. The goal is to see if a larger study is possible, not to find a cure. About 50 adults with active cancer and a recent blood clot will take part.
