New treatment option for Venous Thromboembolism
Official title Statins to Prevent Cancer Associated Blood Clots
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07303816
What this study is testing
What is Rosuvastatin?
Rosuvastatin is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily, being studied as a potential treatment for venous thromboembolism.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- Patients with cancer are at high risk for life-threatening venous thromboembolism (VTE) yet rarely receive anticoagulant prophylaxis due to bleeding risks. Thus, effective prophylaxis in oncology requires a method to reduce VTE without increasing hemorrhage.
- Phase 4: studies an already-approved treatment
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
