Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Pulmonary embolism, the second leading cause of death in cancer patients, is effectively treated with anticoagulants. In patients with cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT), the use of anticoagulants is associated with 10 to 15% of bleeding in the first 6 months. Most of the guidelines propose to integrate the bleeding risk in the choice of therapies. Thrombin generation assay (TGA) reflects an overall hemostatic response and could be a useful biomarker. Proven on the thrombotic side in the CAT population, useful in the assessment of the bleeding risk of hemophiliac patients, the TGA is emerging as a tool. The investigators to measure TGA in cancer patients included prospectively, having recently developed a CAT and to evaluate the association between the measurement and the risk of hemorrhagic complication under anticoagulant during the first 6 month of treatment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Pulmonary embolism, the second leading cause of death in cancer patients, is effectively treated with anticoagulants. In patients with cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT), the use of anticoagulants is associated with 10 to 15% of bleeding in the first 6 months. Most of the guidelines propose to integrate the bleeding risk in the choice of therapies. Existing models for predicting anticoagulant associated bleeding risk applied to the CAT patients are not very predictive (AUC\<0.60). Thrombin generation assay (TGA) reflects an overall hemostatic response and could be a useful biomarker. Proven on the thrombotic side in the CAT population, useful in the assessment of the bleeding risk of hemophiliac patients, the TGA is emerging as a tool. The investigators wish to measure TGA in cancer patients included prospectively, having recently developed a CAT and to evaluate the association between the measurement and the risk of hemorrhagic complication under anticoagulant during the first 6 month of treatment.

Allocation Method

NA

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

Prospective cohort of consecutive patients initiating full-dose anticoagulant therapy for an episode of CAT, followed up until the 6th month of treatment to assess the risk of clinically relevant adjunctive bleeding events and any other adverse event during anticoagulant therapy (recurrence of CAT, death).

TGT measurement is fully automated and calibrated with quality control.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Thrombin Generation Assay (TGA)

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Hemostasis is a complex process in which genetic or environmental conditions can cause shifts either towards pro-thrombotic states resulting in thrombosis, or towards pro-hemorrhagic states resulting in uncontrolled bleeding. Tests to assess a more global hemostatic profile, such as the TGA, have appeared as a more reliable alternative to assess the real hemostatic capacity of an individual. TGA is a global dynamic assay simultaneously and continuously measuring thrombin generation. It monitors the cleavage of a fluorigenic substrate that is simultaneously compared to the known thrombin activity in a non-clotting plasma sample.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Patients with active cancer, as defined by current French recommendations (Mahé I et al Rev Mal Respir 2021)
* Presenting acute proximal deep vein thrombosis of the lower limb (DVT) and/or proximal pulmonary embolism (PE), confirmed by objective tests (Doppler ultrasound in the event of DVT; lung scintigraphy or CT scan in the event of PE)
* No contraindication for anticoagulant treatment at a curative dose at the time of inclusion

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients participating in a therapeutic clinical trial with a blinded therapy or an open-label therapeutic trial who are included in the experimental treatment group.
* Patients already on anticoagulant at a curative dose for valvular or rhythmic embolic disease or a history of venous thromboembolic disease
* Hematological malignancies
* Patients with a contraindication to anticoagulant treatment on inclusion
* Patient whose relay by DOAC has already been carried out.
