Low-Dose DOACs Reduce VTE Risk in Transplant-Ineligible Multiple Myeloma: Insights from the BENEFIT Trial
Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (JTH) has shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Thromboembolism in transplant-ineligible multiple myeloma patients on triplet/quadruplet therapy: a post hoc analysis of the BENEFIT trial
In this phase 3 trial of 257 patients with transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, the 6-month cumulative incidence of VTE was 4.8%. Among prophylaxis strategies, low-dose DOACs significantly reduced VTE risk compared to heparin or aspirin. Proteinuria ≥0.44 g/L and monoclonal protein ≥22 g/L emerged as strong independent risk factors for VTE. Findings highlight DOACs as a potentially superior prophylaxis option in this high-risk population.”
