Abstract
Central venous catheters (CVCs), such as the tunneled catheters and the totally implanted ports, play a major role in general medicine and oncology. Thrombosis associated with CVCs is a common complication in cancer patients. Thus, in order to more widely study the problem of catheter-associated thrombosis in cancer patients, we initiated a study for 2022-2023 within one region.. Purpose. Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of thromboprophylaxis of catheter-associated thrombosis with rivaroxaban in cancer patients..
Material and methods. Prospective multicenter study, conducted since 01/05/2022 and planned to be completed by the end of 2022, on the basis of three centers. The subjects are divided into 2 groups to randomize 60 participants in each. The first group: receive DOACs (rivaroxaban) at a dosage of 20 mg per day the day before the inserting of the CVC. Second group: treatment of the underlying disease without the use of DOACs..
Results. None of the patients developed submassive or massive pulmonary embolism. There were no cases of CAT in the thromboprophylaxis group compared to the non-thrombotic prophylaxis group (0% vs 15.7%). The relative risk of developing CAT is 0.86, which indicates the effectiveness of thromboprophylaxis with rivaroxaban..
Conclusion. Our interim results show the efficacy of rivaroxaban at a dosage of 20 mg per day in cancer patients. The final results are planned to be published at the end of the study.
