Efficacy and Safety of Tinzaparin in CAT Patients with Metastatic Disease
2020
Introduction Venous thromboembolism (VTE) frequently complicates the course of active cancer with a significant impact on morbidity and mortality. The results of CATCH trial for treatment of cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) have been reported and included patients with and without metastatic disease. As metastatic disease is known to be associated with a higher risk of recurrent VTE and bleeding, we performed these post hoc analyses to assess the recurrent VTE (rVTE), recurrent deep vein thrombosis (rDVT), and bleeding events (major bleeding (MB), clinically relevant (CRB) and clinically relevant non-major (CRNMB)) in patients with CAT with metastatic disease. Risk factors associated with…
Efficacy and Safety of Tinzaparin in CAT Patients with Hematological Malignancy
2021
Abstract Introduction In patients with hematological cancers, the high risk of bleeding raises serious concerns when anticoagulant therapy is initiated for treatment of acute venous thromboembolism (VTE). In the CATCH trial, we showed that tinzaparin is associated with a significantly lower risk of clinically relevant bleeding (CRB) and clinically relevant non-major bleeding (CRNMB) compared with warfarin therapy in patients with a solid tumor or hematological cancer. Hence, we performed a post-hoc analysis to assess the risk of recurrent VTE (rVTE) and bleeding in the hematological cancer patient subgroup. Risk factors associated with rVTE and bleeding were also explored. Methods CATCH (Cl…
