Pulmonary Embolism Clinical Trial
Official title:
Rivaroxaban Plus Aspirin Versus Acenocoumarol to Manage Recurrent Venous Thromboembolic Events Despite Systemic Anticoagulation With Rivaroxaban
Venous thromboembolism affects around 10 million people per year worldwide, however, despite its high incidence, there is no systematic review or randomized trial focused on the treatment of patients with recurrent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and/or or pulmonary embolism (PE) during anticoagulant treatment. The objective was to compare the use of Rivaroxaban plus Aspirin versus Acenocoumarol in patients with recurrent venous thromboembolism treated with rivaroxaban.
Venous thromboembolism has two manifestations, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), affects around 10 million people per year worldwide, with an annual incidence of 1-2 cases per 1000 population and increases exponentially with age. [1,2,3] DVT is a multicausal disease thought to be triggered by interactions between multiple triggering factors that may be additive or synergistic, such as active cancer, antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), or other chronic inflammatory disorders. [2,4] The contribution of genetics to the risk of thromboembolism venous traditionally includes protein C, protein S, and antithrombin deficiencies, prothrombin gene mutation, and factor V Leiden. [5] The exact epidemiology in Mexico is unknown, however, the estimated prevalence of deficiencies in a population studied in Mexico City were Protein C (PC) 0.65%, Protein S (PS) 0.65%, Antithrombin (AT) 2.04% and Plasminogen ( Plg) 2.5%. [6] For the treatment of patients with DVT and/or PE, the American Society of Hematology (ASH) guideline panel suggests using direct oral anticuagulants (DOACs) over vitamin K antagonists (VKAs), [7] however the use of a DOAC instead of a VKA for patients with DVT does not impact mortality, the use of DOACs has also been related to a reduction in the risk of DVT and major bleeding, although this was not statistically significant, the greatest advantage is that the use of DOACs do not require frequent dose adjustment, monitoring of the INR, or dietary restrictions, [8 -31] in our work center we started with DOACs as the first line of treatment. Recurrent DVT despite anticoagulation has been related to the presence of active cancer, subtherapeutic anticoagulation, use of concomitant anticancer drugs, younger age at presentation (<65 years), and PE as the initial DVT. [32-40] Insertion of an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter was previously recommended in patients with recurrent DVT while receiving anticoagulant therapy. [41] However, the risk of recurrent DVT after IVC filter insertion is as high as 32% in cancer patients and has been associated with significant morbidity and poor quality of life; [42-46] It has been suggested that increasing the dose of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) may be an alternative to IVC filter insertion in patients with recurrent DVT, [47-49] however, to date, there is no systematic review or randomized trial focused on the treatment of patients with recurrent DVT and/or PE during anticoagulant treatment. The aim of the current study was to compare the use of Rivaroxaban plus Aspirin versus Acenocoumarol in the prevention of thromboembolic and bleeding events in patients with recurrent venous thromboembolism treated with rivaroxaban. ;
