”New Insights on Bleeding Risk During Extended Anticoagulation in Cancer-Associated VTE
Presented at ASH25 and published in Lancet Haematology, this post-hoc analysis of the API-CAT trial, led by Prof. Isabelle Mahé, identifies key predictors of clinically relevant bleeding during extended apixaban therapy in patients with active cancer.
Key Predictors of Higher Bleeding Risk
• Anemia and/or thrombocytopenia (HR 1.93)
• Age ≥75 years (HR 1.51)
• Index pulmonary embolism (HR 1.47)
• Male sex (HR 1.38)
These predictors were consistent across cancer types and also aligned with predictors of major bleeding. See manuscript here.”
