Massive study tracks 3,400 patients to unlock clot recurrence secrets
NCT ID NCT04297085
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 3,400 people who have had a blood clot (venous thromboembolism) to see how often clots return and what raises the risk. It focuses on two groups: patients under 50, and cancer patients of any age. Researchers will track recurrences over 1 to 5 years and also monitor bleeding, deaths, and other complications. The goal is to improve prevention strategies for those at highest risk.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors better predict and prevent blood clot recurrence in younger patients and those with cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to immediate changes in care, and results depend on accurate follow-up over years.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
