Effectiveness and safety of anticoagulants among patients with venous thromboembolism and common cancers or cancers with high venous thromboembolism risk
FUTURE ONCOLOGY(2024)
Abstract
Aim: Treatment effects among anticoagulant-treated patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) and cancer across tumor types were evaluated. Methods: Patients initiating an anticoagulant within 30 days after VTE were identified. After inverse probability treatment weighting, patients were stratified by tumor type. Interactions between treatment and tumor type on recurrent VTE, major bleeding and clinically relevant non-major bleeding were assessed using Cox proportional hazard models. Results: Treatment effects were generally not significantly different among patients with or without the following cancer types: prostate, breast, lung, pancreatic or multiple myeloma. Few significant interactions were observed for lung and pancreatic cancer. Conclusion: Anticoagulant treatment effects were generally consistent across tumor types. The significant interactions may indicate tumor-specific effects of anticoagulants, but further research is needed. This real-world study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of apixaban, LMWH, and warfarin among patients with VTE and with common or high risk tumor type. Further research is needed to better understand effects of anticoagulants in patients with VTE and different tumor types
