Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis After Gynecological Pelvic Cancer Surgery With Rivaroxaban vs Enoxaparin

Study Description

Brief Summary: The Valeria trial will provide high-quality evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of oral rivaroxaban in thromboprophylaxis after gynecological pelvic cancer surgery in comparison with standard parenteral enoxaparin.

Detailed Description: Cancer-associated thrombosis is the second leading cause of mortality in cancer patients, mainly due to the most common complication, venous thromboembolism (VTE). New oral antithrombotic strategies for VTE prevention after gynecological cancer surgery might be non-inferior to parenteral low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) in efficacy and safety with increased adherence, comfort, and reduced costs. This is a multicenter, open-label, prospective, randomized, active-controlled study, and non-inferiority trial. Four hundred and forty patients submitted to major gynecological cancer surgery will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either oral rivaroxaban 10 mg once daily or subcutaneous enoxaparin 40mg once daily for 30 days post-operative. The primary efficacy outcome is a combination of symptomatic VTE and VTE-related death or VTE detected by mandatory Doppler ultrasound on day 30±4 post-operative. The primary safety outcome is the incidence of major and clinically relevant non-major bleeding according to the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis criteria.
