Cancer patients test easier blood thinner dose to stop deadly clots

NCT ID NCT07005024

Summary

This study aims to find the best way to use a common blood thinner (apixaban) to prevent dangerous blood clots in cancer patients who are at moderate risk. About 1,000 patients starting cancer treatment will be randomly assigned to take the standard twice-daily dose, a new once-daily dose, or no blood thinner at all. Researchers will track who develops clots, has serious bleeding, or dies over six months to see if the simpler once-daily dose works as well and is safe.
