United States, Australia259 participantsStarted 2026-01-30
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to find out whether a software tool, ctDNA/VTE (Venous Thromboembolism) risk score model, is an effective way to predict the likelihood of VTE coming back in people who have received anticoagulant treatment.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age ≥ 18 with a history of cancer-associated VTE (objectively confirmed symptomatic or incidental/unsuspected proximal lower-limb DVT, symptomatic pulmonary embolism \[PE\] or incidental PE in a segmental or more proximal pulmonary artery) and completion of between 3 and 12 months of anticoagulation with enoxaparin, dalteparin,rivaroxaban, or apixaban without current VTE-related symptoms (imaging to confirm resolution not required).
Diagnosis of DVT requires evidence of one or more filling defects at compression ultrasonography, venography, CT venography, or MR venography involving at least the popliteal or more proximal veins.
Diagnosis of PE requires an intraluminal filling defect in segmental or more proximal arteries.
* Diagnosis of one of the following solid tumors in either advanced (i.e. unresectable) stage or receiving systemic anticancer treatment within six weeks of enrollment (maintenance therapy included):
* breast cancer regardless of cytotoxic-chemotherapy status
* hepatobiliary cancer regardless of cytotoxic-chemotherapy status
* prostate cancer regardless of cytotoxic-chemotherapy status
* non-small cell lung cancer with cytotoxic-chemotherapy received within 30 days
* pancreatic cancer with cytotoxic-chemotherapy received within 30 days
* bladder cancer with cytotoxic-chemotherapy received within 30 days
* Signed and dated informed consent by study participant/Legally Authorized Representative (LAR).

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
