Extended Low-Dose Apixaban After Provoked VTE: Marc Carrier Spotlights Major NEJM Results

 

Marc Carrier, Professor at Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, has posted on X:

”New in NEJM:
In patients with provoked VTE + enduring risk factors, extended low-dose apixaban (2.5 mg bid ×12 months): reduced recurrent VTE risk by nearly 90% (1.3% vs 10.0%): HR 0.13
Major bleeding was rare (1 pt).”
