🩸📖 NEJM 2003: CLOT trial - 676 patients w/ cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) - Dalteparin vs warfarin.

Dalteparin dose: 200 IU/kg sc daily ×1/12 → 150 IU/kg daily ×5/12 (total 6 months).

Outcome: ↓ recurrent VTE; no ↑ major bleed in the group who received dalteparin.

CARAVAGGIO 2020 (1,170 pts):

Apixaban vs dalteparin for cancer VTE. Recurrent VTE 5.6 % vs 7.9 % (non-inf). Major bleed 3.8 % vs 4.0 %; no extra GI bleed. Bottom line: apixaban noninferior to dalteparin without increase in major bleeding in cancer-associated VTE. #medsky #hemesky #thrombosis

💊 Abatacept

Humanized protein construct from recombinant DNA (CTLA4 + IgG1 Fc) grown in hamster ovary cells.

Selectively binds to CD80/86 on APCs, inhibiting CD80/86-CD28 costimulatory signal essential for full T-cell activation.
