Tinzaparin Reduces the Risk of Recurrent Thromboembolic Events in Patients With Cancer

Summary

In patients with active cancer and acute venous thromboembolism, tinzaparin reduced the cumulative risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism and significantly reduced the risk of symptomatic deep vein thrombosis. Full-dose tinzaparin did not increase the risk of major bleeding and was associated with a significantly decreased risk of clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding.
