About this study

Official title: Effectiveness And Safety of LMWH Treatment in Cancer Patients Diagnosed With Non-High Risk Venous Thromboembolism - An Observational Study

This study is a multicenter post authorization observational study. Cancer patients diagnosed with non high risk VTE and are followed up in an outpatient setting will be treated with LMWH and the data will be recorded. Since this is an observational study there are no specific treatment protocols, i.e., patients will be treated according to the best investigator's criteria. Treatment protocol will be based on the routine treatment practice of the involved investigator. Patients to enroll will be cancer patients diagnosed for VTE and who are able to receive outpatient LMWH treatment. There will be no specific hypothesis to be tested.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluation of effectiveness of LMWH used in the treatment of thrombosis in cancer patients with VTE regarding new thrombosis.

    Measured: [Time to new thrombosis in 15 days]

  2. Evaluation of effectiveness of LMWH used in the treatment of thrombosis in cancer patients with VTE regarding resolution.

    Measured: [Time to resolution in 15 days]

  3. Evaluation of effectiveness of LMWH used in the treatment of thrombosis in cancer patients with VTE regarding bleeding

    Measured: [Time to bleeding in 15 days]
