Unmet clinical needs in the prevention and treatment of cancer-associated venous thromboembolism

Michela Giustozzi et al.

Summary: Venous thromboembolism (VTE), a common complication in cancer patients, has been evolving in terms of prophylaxis and treatment. The introduction of direct oral anticoagulants has significantly changed the management of cancer-associated VTE due to their ease of use and comparable efficacy and safety to low molecular weight heparins. However, the heterogeneity of cancer patients poses challenges in VTE management, including primary prophylaxis, long-term anticoagulation, and treatment in patients with high bleeding risk or specific types of VTE.

Updates in the Incidence, Pathogenesis, and Management of Cancer and Venous Thromboembolism

Laura Girardi et al.

Summary: Patients with cancer have a higher risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE) due to specific risk factors and thrombotic and hemostatic pathophysiological pathways. Managing cancer-associated VTE can be challenging due to increased risk of recurrent events and bleeding complications. Direct oral anticoagulants have shown effectiveness, safety, and convenience compared to low-molecular-weight heparin in managing cancer-associated VTE. However, there are still unmet needs and potential solutions, such as factor XI inhibitors, to address bleeding risk, drug interactions, and liver dysfunction.

Extended anticoagulation treatment for cancer-associated thrombosis-Rates of recurrence and bleeding beyond 6 months: A systematic review

Florian Moik et al.

Summary: In this systematic review, the study provides a comprehensive summary of the best available evidence on recurrence and bleeding risk between 6 and 12 months after cancer-associated VTE. Recurrent VTE remains common beyond 6 months, with varying rates, while major bleeding rates between 6 and 12 months were relatively low. The findings support continuing anticoagulation treatment beyond 6 months in patients with active cancer.

Low dose apixaban as secondary prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism in cancer patients-30 months follow-up

Trine-Lise Larsen et al.

Summary: For cancer patients, reducing the dosage of apixaban to 2.5 mg twice daily after 6 months of full-dose treatment seems to be safe, and the incidence rate of recurrent VTE and major bleeding remains low thereafter.

Anticoagulant treatment for upper extremity deep vein thrombosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Emanuele Valeriani et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of anticoagulant therapy for upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT). The results showed that anticoagulant treatment is associated with a low risk of recurrent VTE and major bleeding in patients with UEDVT.

Extended Anticoagulant Treatment with Full- or Reduced-Dose Apixaban in Patients with Cancer-Associated Venous Thromboembolism: Rationale and Design of the API-CAT Study

Isabelle Mahe et al.

Summary: The API-CAT study aims to evaluate whether a reduced-dose regimen of apixaban is noninferior to a full-dose regimen in preventing recurrent VTE in cancer patients. This international, randomized, double-blind trial will assess VTE events as the primary efficacy outcome and clinically relevant bleeding as the principal safety endpoint.

American Society of Hematology 2021 guidelines for management of venous thromboembolism: prevention and treatment in patients with cancer

Gary H. Lyman et al.

Summary: These evidence-based guidelines aim to support decision-making on the prevention and treatment of VTE in cancer patients, covering mechanical and pharmacological prophylaxis, as well as recommendations for initial, short-term, and long-term treatment based on patient risk and treatment circumstances. Recommendations vary depending on patient risk level and treatment situation.
