Study Summary

This randomized phase III trial studies the side effects of and compares apixaban and dalteparin in reducing blood clots in patients with cancer-related venous thromboembolism. Venous thromboembolism is a condition in which a blood clot forms in a vein and then breaks off and moves through the bloodstream. Patients with cancer are at increased risk for venous thromboembolism. Apixaban and dalteparin are drugs used to prevent blood clots from forming or to treat blood clots that have formed. It is not yet known whether apixaban or dalteparin is more effective in reducing blood clots in patients with cancer related venous thromboembolism. ADAM-VTE

Primary Outcome

The rate (percentage) of patients experiencing major bleeding at 6 months from treatment initiation and its associated 95% confidence interval was estimated separately by treatment arm using a cumulative incidence function, treating death without bleeding as a competing risk.
