select-d: Anticoagulation Therapy in SELECTeD Cancer Patients at Risk of Recurrence of Venous Thromboembolism


Main objective of the trial

To assess whether rivaroxaban is any better than dalteparin for the treatment of venous thromboembolism in cancer patients.

Secondary objectives of the trial
The secondary objectives are as follows:
• To assess 6 months and 12 months treatment with rivaroxaban in patients with evidence of residual vein thrombosis (RVT), following initial therapy in terms of VTE recurrence rates.
• To assess the VTE recurrence rates in patients with evidence of residual vein thrombosis (RVT) and those with no evidence of RVT.
• To assess acceptability and compliance to randomisation and allocated treatment.
• To ensure the safety of the patients with regards to major bleeding in an internal safety study.

Primary end point(s)
The primary outcome is the VTE recurrence rates (including symptomatic VTE and incidental PE) for dalteparin and rivaroxaban.
