Study Description

Brief Summary:
The study will compare the efficacy and safety of oral rivaroxaban and subcutaneous dalteparin in patients with cancer associated thrombosis. It is designed as a non-inferiority open label randomized multicenter trial with blinded adjudication of outcome events.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Neoplasm Venous Thromboembolism Drug: rivaroxaban Drug: Low-molecular-weight heparin Phase 3

Detailed Description:
Patients with active cancer and symptomatic pulmonary embolism, proximal deep vein thrombosis, iliac or caval thrombosis will be randomly assigned to receive either dalteparin using the CLOT regimen or to oral rivaroxaban using the conventional dosage given in the Einstein studies. Experimental and control treatments will be given for three months. The main outcome at three month will include all symptomatic and incidentally discovered venous thromboembolic events including pulmonary embolism (either objectively confirmed and death due to pulmonary embolism), lower limb and upper limb deep vein thrombosis, iliac, caval and visceral thrombosis and any worsening of vascular obstruction which will be collected systematically at inclusion and at day 90. The safety end-points will consist of the rate of major bleedings and the composite of major and non-major but clinically significant bleedings at day 90. All outcome events will be blindly adjudicated by a central independent adjudication committee.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Symptomatic DVT [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    Recurrent VTE during the 3-month treatment period including all symptomatic DVT (lower limbs distal and proximal DVTs, iliac and caval thrombosis, visceral thrombosis and deep vein thrombosis of the arm)

  2. Symptomatic PE [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    Recurrent VTE during the 3-month treatment period including symptomatic PE

  3. Unsuspected PE and DVT [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    Recurrent VTE during the 3-month treatment period including clinically unsuspected PE and DVT discovered incidentally

  4. Worsening of pulmonary vascular or venous obstruction [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    Recurrent VTE during the 3-month treatment period including worsening of pulmonary vascular obstruction or venous obstruction on the systematic examinations performed at the end of the 3-month treatment period


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Major and clinically significant bleedings during the 3-month treatment period [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    Major bleeding is defined according to the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) criteria and includes any bleeding resulting in death; symptomatic bleeding in a critical organ including intracranial, intra spinal, intraocular, retroperitoneal, intra articular and pericardial bleeding and muscle bleeding resulting in compartment syndrome; symptomatic bleeding resulting in a decrease in the hemoglobin concentration of at least 2g/dL or resulting in the transfusion of at least two packs of blood red cells.

  2. Symptomatic recurrences of PE or DVT of the legs [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    excluding visceral thrombosis, upper extremity deep vein thrombosis and clinically unsuspected PE and DVT diagnosed incidentally

  3. Major and non-major clinically significant bleedings at day 90 [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    Clinically significant non-major bleedings are defined as any bleeding requiring hospitalization or a medical intervention including temporary withholding of anticoagulant treatment to stop bleeding.

  4. Mortality [ Time Frame: 3 months ]

Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Rivaroxaban plasma concentrations [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) determined using a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method
