Cancer clot care under the microscope: new study mines data for better treatment insights
NCT ID NCT04618913
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study reviews existing medical records to understand how blood clots (VTE) are treated in people with active cancer or a history of cancer. Researchers will look at which blood thinners are used, how often clots come back, and the costs involved. No new treatments are given—this is purely an analysis of past data to guide future care.
