RE-COVER Dabigatran in VTE cancer patients D W
Advantages of NOACs in cancer patients with VTE oral route better quality of life/adherence short half-life better flexibility at least as effective and safe as VKA
Caveats für using NOACs in cancer patients with VTE Small patient numbers in clinical trials Generalizability of trial data (low-risk pts) Oral route in pts with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea Interaction with chemotherapy No on-going trials, neither with LMWH nor with NOACs
Summary as effective as LMWH/VKA less (major) bleeding single drug approach (rivaroxaban, apixaban) effective in VTE long-term prevention (up to 1 year) suitable for selected cancer patients NOACs for treatment of VTE
