What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the frequency of thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications in adult patients diagnosed with venous thromboembolism related to neoplasia. It will involve both retrospective and prospective data collection from patients treated at two medical centers in Italy. The study will follow patients according to standard clinical practices and will not alter their diagnostic or therapeutic pathways based on study results. Data analysis is expected to conclude by the end of 2027.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the understanding of anticoagulant treatment safety in cancer patients, potentially leading to better management strategies.

How similar studies have gone: While this study is observational, similar studies have shown varying degrees of success in understanding anticoagulant complications in cancer patients.
