NCT04462003

Brief Summary

The aim of study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Apixaban in patients with acute deep venous thrombosis and active malignancy compared with weight adjusted subcutaneous (LMWH). It was hypothesised that Apixaban could be as effective as rivaroxiban and edoxaban in treatment of patients with acute DVT and active malignancy with a lower risk of bleeding especially in those with GIT cancer.
