Aspirin or low-dose blood thinner after bone or leg surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares aspirin versus a low-dose injectable blood thinner (LMWH) to prevent blood clots after certain orthopedic cancer surgeries. It may help lower the risk of dangerous clotting while balancing bleeding and side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re at least 18 years old
- You’re having surgery on your pelvis or lower body (or had surgery already)
- Your surgery is for specific cancers or cancer-related bone/soft-tissue problems (metastatic bone disease, bone sarcoma, or a large soft-tissue sarcoma)
- You received or plan to take a blood thinner around the time of surgery
- You must be able to choose and receive chemical blood-thinner treatment (informed consent and not unable to take it)
- You should not have certain conditions that raise clotting risk or block these treatments (listed in the exclusions)

This Phase 2 study tests the best dose of low-dose aspirin to help prevent dangerous blood clots after total hip or knee replacement surgery. If you’re at lower clot risk and can safely take aspirin, it may help reduce clot risk while you recover.
This trial tests whether a medication called apixaban (a blood thinner) can safely prevent blood clots after abdominal or pelvic surgery. It is for people who have a moderate risk of clots and bleeding, and who are not taking other blood thinners.
This study compares two daily pills, aspirin and rivaroxaban, to find which is better at preventing dangerous blood clots in people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma who are at high risk. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments.
This study tests a new injection called SRSD107 to see if it prevents blood clots after knee replacement surgery, compared to a standard blood thinner (enoxaparin). It might be an option if you are having a planned knee replacement and are otherwise healthy.
This trial tests a new medicine called REGN7508 against aspirin to prevent blood clots after total knee replacement surgery. It may help if you are having a planned knee replacement and are in good health.
This trial tests whether taking a blood thinner pill for 30 days after spine surgery helps prevent dangerous blood clots. It may help people recovering from surgery for cancer that has spread to the spine.
