Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Participants will be asked to fill in a questionnaire and take a buccal swab, which are used for an individual estimation of the risks of recurrent VTE and bleeding. Based on these risks a treatment advise will be made, or randomised in a subgroup of patients.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Aims: To evaluate tailored duration of long-term anticoagulant treatment based on individualized risk assessments of recurrent VTE and major bleeding risks.
Methods:
The L-TRRiP study is a multicenter, open-label, cohort based randomized controlled trial in which patients with a first VTE will be included. For each patient the risk of recurrent VTE (low, medium, high) and major bleeding (low, high) will be determined using the L-TRRiP and VTE-BLEED prediction scores, respectively. After three months of initial anticoagulant therapy, patients with a low recurrent VTE risk (\<6% in 2 years) will discontinue anticoagulants, whereas patients with a high recurrent VTE risk(\>14% in 2 years) and low major bleeding risk will continue. The other groups, with unclear benefit of prolonged treatment, will be randomized to continue or discontinue anticoagulants. Patients will be followed for at least two years, during which they will be asked to fill in a questionnaire every 3 months during the first two years, followed by a questionnaire once a year for the remaining duration of the study (i.e., 2 years after inclusion of the last participant; which is expected to be in 2027). The total follow-up duration is therefore expected to vary between 2 to 6 years. The follow-up questionnaires are used to screen for potential outcomes (including recurrent VTE and bleeding), and includes the EQ-5D-5L to assess quality of life, the Post VTE functional status scale to assess functional outcomes and the Medical Consumption and Productivity Costs Questionnaire to asses cost-effectiveness. In case of a potential outcome additional information is retrieved from the medical record for adjudication. The clinical outcomes will be evaluated and classified by an independent committee blinded for treatment allocation.
Sample size: The sample size of this study is based on the randomized part of the study. To demonstrate a 7% difference in the combined endpoint (i.e., 10.6% vs 3.6%) with an alpha of 0.05 and a power of 90%, a sample size of 552 subjects for the randomized part of the study is required. Taking into account a drop-out rate of 10%, the aim is to include 608 patients in the randomized part of the study. After inclusion of 608 randomized patients, inclusion will stop. Based on the derivation studies it is expected the randomized group will form about 40% of the total included population, in which case the estimated total number of included patients will be 1600. Of note, this total number may change depending on the final proportion of the randomized group.
Ethics: The study has been approved by the Medical Ethics Committee Leiden Den Haag Delft. All participants will provide informed consent.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2. Be diagnosed with a first confirmed symptomatic deep vein thrombosis (including distal vein thrombosis, in Dutch: 'kuitvenetrombose') or pulmonary embolism with an indication for treatment with anticoagulant therapy for at least 3 months as prescribed by their treating physician.
3. Be aged 18 years or above.
Exclusion Criteria
2. Patients who need to continue anticoagulant treatment for another indication (e.g. atrial fibrillation).
3. Patients with a strong indication for long-term antiplatelet therapy despite oral anticoagulation (e.g. those with recent STEMI)
4. Patients with COVID-19 associated VTE (hospital admission because of COVID-19 \<3 months before the VTE) or vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT)
5. Patients in whom the risk of bleeding is deemed extremely high by the treating physician, necessitating discontinuation of anticoagulant treatment for the first VTE after the initial 3 months or even during the initial 3 months.
