In Season 2, Episode 2 of CLOT Conversations from Thrombosis Canada, Dr. Tzu-Fei Wang, an associate professor and hematologist, discusses a recent study titled "The prevalence of relevant drug-drug interactions and associated clinical outcomes in patients with cancer-associated thrombosis on concurrent anticoagulation and anticancer or supportive care therapies." The study aimed to investigate drug-drug interactions (DDIs) between anticoagulants and other medications in cancer patients and their impact on clinical outcomes.
High Risk of DDIs: The study found that approximately 41% of cancer patients on anticoagulation therapy had relevant drug-drug interactions, particularly with antidepressants and certain other medications.
Overall, the study highlights the importance of assessing and managing drug-drug interactions in cancer patients receiving anticoagulation therapy, while also suggesting that not all DDIs necessarily lead to adverse clinical outcomes. Collaborative efforts and larger data sets are needed to better understand and address this complex issue.
