”Just published in the Lancet Haematology
In this post-hoc analysis of the API-CAT Study, including patients with CAT receiving extended anticoagulant with apixaban.
- 4 clinical predictors were significantly associated with increased CRB risk : anaemia and/or thrombocytopenia, age ≥75, PE as the index event, and male sex.
- 3 of them are also significant predictors of MB
- Identified predictors are non modifiable
- No cancer-related predictors associated with increased CRB risk
- Associations are consistent across cancer sites
- No evidence of interaction with apixaban dose

As a reminder, in CAT extended treatment NEJM
Reduced dose apixaban is non inferior to full-dose on VTE recurrence, and associated with a 25% reduction in the risk of CRB
