Study on treating vein clots in cancer patients
Part of Cancer, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 tests whether continuing a lower dose of blood thinners can prevent another blood clot in cancer patients who have had a clot in an arm or chest catheter. It may help find a safer way to prevent future clots.
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 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 looks at the link between tumor cells found in the blood and blood clots in the veins. It is for people who have had or will have a procedure to remove a blood clot, whether they have cancer or not.
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.
