Effectiveness And Safety of LMWH Treatment in Cancer Patients Diagnosed With Non-High Risk Venous Thromboembolism (TREBECA)

December 16, 2013 updated by: Trio Grup Clinical Research

Effectiveness And Safety of LMWH Treatment in Cancer Patients Diagnosed With Non-High Risk Venous Thromboembolism - An Observational Study

This study is a multicenter post authorization observational study. Cancer patients diagnosed with non high risk VTE and are followed up in an outpatient setting will be treated with LMWH and the data will be recorded. Since this is an observational study there are no specific treatment protocols, i.e., patients will be treated according to the best investigator's criteria. Treatment protocol will be based on the routine treatment practice of the involved investigator. Patients to enroll will be cancer patients diagnosed for VTE and who are able to receive outpatient LMWH treatment. There will be no specific hypothesis to be tested.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
