Official title
Primary Thromboprophylaxis in Patients With Malignancy and Central Venous Catheters: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Overview
The purpose of the full trial is to determine the efficacy and safety of prophylactic dose rivaroxaban to prevent VTE among cancer patients with CVC.
Detailed description
TRIM-Line is a double blind randomized controlled trial comparing rivaroxaban 10mg po daily vs placebo in patients with active cancer and indwelling CVC. This will involve 9 centers across Canada.
Interventions
- Drug Rivaroxaban 10 MG
Identical comparator drug

- Episodes of Major Bleeding [Time frame: 90 days (± 3 days) of randomization]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
- Number of participants with Clinically Relevant Non-Major Bleeding (CRNMB) [Time frame: 90 days (± 3 days) of randomization]
- Number of patients who had a fatal VTE [Time frame: 90 days (± 3 days) of randomization]
- Number of patients who benefitted from using the experimental intervention [Time frame: 90 days (± 3 days) of randomization]
- PE [Time frame: 90 days (± 3 days) of randomization]

- Distal CVC VTE [Time frame: 90 days (± 3 days) of randomization]
- Proximal Lower extremity DVT [Time frame: 90 days (± 3 days) of randomization]
- Distal Lower extremity DVT [Time frame: 90 days (± 3 days) of randomization]
- Number of participants with Unusual site thrombosis including: splanchnic vein (portal, splenic, superior mesenteric, inferior mesenteric, hepatic) cerebral vein, renal or gonadal vein thromboses [Time frame: 90 days (± 3 days) of randomization]
- Number of participants with Superficial upper or lower extremity vein thrombosis [Time frame: 90 days (± 3 days) of randomization]
- Number of participants with an arterial thromboembolic event including: MI, stroke, peripheral arterial disease [Time frame: 90 days (± 3 days) of randomization]
- CVC Life-span [Time frame: 90 days (± 3 days) of randomization]
