Bleeding risk in people with cancer and blood clots on blood thinners
Part of Cancer, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well blood thinners work in people with cancer and a recent blood clot. It measures the risk of bleeding by checking certain blood clotting factors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have active cancer (cancer that is growing or being treated).
- You have been diagnosed with a recent blood clot in your leg or lung.
- It is safe for you to take blood thinners (no medical reason to avoid them).
- You do not have a blood cancer (like leukemia or lymphoma).
- You have not already started taking a specific type of blood thinner called a DOAC (like apixaban or rivaroxaban) for this clot.

This study follows people who have both cancer and a blood clot. It aims to learn more about how these clots happen and how they are treated in cancer patients, so doctors can improve care.
This trial studies the safety of managing blood thinners (like apixaban or warfarin) around the time of cancer surgery or procedures. It aims to help doctors understand how to best handle these medications to reduce risks.
This study looks at whether doctors can predict blood clots in people with certain cancers who are receiving chemotherapy. If you have ovarian, lung, stomach, or pancreatic cancer and are starting chemotherapy, you may be able to join and help improve clot prevention.
This study is a registry that collects information about blood clot events in people with cancer. The goal is to better understand how often clots happen and what patterns they follow, which can help improve care.
This study tests a simple plan for stopping and restarting your blood thinner (DOAC) before and after getting a port or tunneled catheter. It aims to make the procedure safer for people with cancer who need blood thinners.
This study looks at how to best treat blood clots in veins near the skin in people who also have active cancer. It will compare different treatment options to find what works best and is safest for you.
