In this episode of CLOT Conversations, we sit down with Dr. Marc Carrier to explore a groundbreaking study published in the New England Journal of Medicine on reduced-dose apixaban for cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE). Dr. Carrier breaks down the study’s findings, which suggest that a lower dose of apixaban after six months of treatment is just as effective in preventing clot recurrence — and significantly safer in terms of bleeding risk. Tune in for expert insights on how this data could shift clinical practice and improve outcomes for patients living with cancer.
