One-Size-Fits-No-One: study tailors blood thinner length to prevent repeat clots
NCT ID NCT06087952
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using a person's individual risk of another blood clot or major bleeding can help doctors decide how long they should take blood thinners after a first clot. About 600 adults who had a first deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism will fill out a questionnaire and provide a cheek swab to estimate their risks. Based on this, some will be randomly assigned to different treatment durations to see which approach works best.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Provision of informed consent prior to any study specific procedures. 2. Be diagnosed with a first confirmed symptomatic deep vein thrombosis (including distal vein thrombosis, in Dutch: 'kuitvenetrombose') or pulmonary embolism with an indication for treatment with anticoagulant therapy for at least 3 months as prescribed by their treating physician. 3. Be aged 18 years or above. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with active cancer (i.e. cancer diagnosis within six months before VTE (excluding basal-cell or squamous-cell carcinoma of the skin), recently recurrent or progressive cancer or any cancer that required anti-cancer treatment within six months before the venous thromboembolism was diagnosed) or antiphospholipid syndrome 2. Patients who need to continue anticoagulant treatment for another indication (e.g. atrial fibrillation). 3. Patients with a strong indication for long-term antiplatelet therapy despite oral anticoagulation (e.g. those with recent STEMI) 4. Patients with COVID-19 associated VTE (hospital admission because of COVID-19 \<3 months before the VTE) or vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) 5. Patients in whom the risk of bleeding is deemed extremely high by the treating physician, necessitating discontinuation of anticoagulant treatment for the first VTE after the initial 3 months or even during the initial 3 months.
