Clinical Trial Summary

The development of clots is a potentially deadly complication in many cancer patients. The current optimal treatment is unknown. Evidence supporting the effectiveness of the use of Inferior Vena Caval Filters is lacking. This study will compare the two standard of care treatment options: anticoagulation with or without a inferior vena cava filter. The anticoagulation medication chosen will be Arixtra and it will be given once a day as an injection. Patients will be called at various intervals to monitor their signs and symptoms of new thromboembolisms.


Clinical Trial Description

The development of clots is a potentially deadly complication in many cancer patients. The current optimal treatment is unknown. Evidence supporting the effectiveness of the use of Inferior Vena Caval Filters is lacking. This study will compare the two standard of care treatment options: anticoagulation with or without an inferior vena cava filter. The anticoagulation medication chosen will be Arixtra and it will be given once a day as an injection. Patients will be called at various intervals to monitor their signs and symptoms of new thromboembolisms. Patients will be equally randomized to receive either Arixtra with or without placement of an IVC filter. Fifty three patients are expected to be enrolled in each arm. Patients will be monitored for 90 days after study enrollment. Monitoring will include telephone calls and physician visits and repeat radiologists if the patient is symptomatic of a DVT. This will also include completion of a quality of life questionnaire. ;
