Secondary Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism in Patients With Cancer and Catheter-Related Upper Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis (STREAM-Line Study)
This trial seeks to evaluate a management strategy after the acute treatment duration (≥ 3 months of therapeutic anticoagulation) for patients with cancer and catheter-related upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
• Adult patients (≥ 18 years old) with active cancer, defined as cancer (other than localized non-melanoma skin cancer) diagnosed or treated within 6 months, or the presence of metastatic, recurrent, or progressive malignancy, ongoing anticancer therapy, or hematological malignancy not in complete remission.
• Objectively confirmed catheter-related upper extremity DVT and treated with any standard therapeutic anticoagulation (including LMWH dose reduction to 75% after the first month) for at least 3 months.
• Able and willing to provide informed consent.
