Summary

The goal of the pilot study is to determine if a multicenter prospective cohort study of cancer patients with blood clots associated with catheters is feasible. Cancer patients with catheter-related thrombosis treated with one month of anticoagulation will be evaluated for for post-thrombotic syndrome. Laboratory biomarkers will be evaluated as predictors of recurrent thrombosis.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Upper extremity venous thrombosis associated with an indwelling catheter documented by ultrasound, CT or venography
  • Current hematologic or solid tumor malignancy undergoing chemotherapy, surgery, radiation or hormonal therapy for malignancy.
  • >18 years of age
  • Platelet count >50,000
  • Creatinine clearance >30 ml/min
  • Ability to provide informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

  • Underlying medical condition or chemotherapy requiring long-term anticoagulation
  • Known underlying higher risk thrombophilias including antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, antithrombin, protein C or protein S deficiencies, or homozygosity or compound heterozygosity for prothrombin G20210A or Factor V R506Q mutations.
  • Inability to remove venous catheter
  • Anticipated replacement of central venous catheter within 3 months
  • Major bleeding or clinically relevant non-major bleeding in the preceding 60 days
  • Participation in another clinical trial that requires anticoagulation
  • Use of anticoagulant other than low-molecular weight heparin
