Detecting blood clots in lungs of cancer patients in the ER
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies how to quickly and safely rule out blood clots in the lungs of cancer patients who come to the emergency room. It aims to help doctors make faster decisions and avoid unnecessary treatments for people with cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with a blood clot in your lungs (called a pulmonary embolism)
- You have active cancer (including blood cancers like leukemia or lymphoma) that is being treated or monitored
- This is your first visit to the emergency room for this blood clot (not a follow-up visit)

This study tests personalized blood thinner treatments for people with blood clots in their lungs. It looks for patients who are older, have kidney problems, or have cancer, to see if adjusting the treatment helps them more.
This study looks at how well blood thinners (anticoagulants) work in people with cancer who have had a blood clot. It aims to compare the benefits and risks of different anticoagulant medicines.
This study tests whether people with active cancer and a new blood clot in the lung can be safely treated at home instead of in the hospital. If you have cancer and a blood clot that is not causing severe symptoms, you may be able to join this trial.
This trial tests a computer-assisted vacuum device to remove blood clots from the lungs of people with cancer. It aims to see if this procedure is safe and improves quality of life for those with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism.
This study tests a procedure to remove blood clots from the lungs in people with moderate or severe pulmonary embolism. It may help reduce strain on the heart and improve recovery.
This study looks at how doctors decide to test for pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs) in the emergency department. It helps understand what factors lead to testing, which could improve care for future patients.
