Whenever you see a young male with EN and DVT, always remember to ask about oral&genital ulcers!

This vasculitis may show multiple symptoms.
The International Criteria may be helpful in the diagnosis:

This goes in line with current guidelines, but we now have further evidence to support these claims.

Duration of primary/secondary treatment to prevent recurrent venous thromboembolism: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Antithrombotic therapy can prevent recurrent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). It is, however, associated with an increased risk…

A recent metaanalysis including 22 articles states that:

⌚️ Transient risk factor: 3-6 months of treatment superior to extended therapy.
🛌 Unprovoked VTE or chronic provoking factor: extended therapy is superior to limited.

Do you use, or plan to, apixaban 2.5 mg in cancer patients with VTE?

Results:
🫁 Non inferiority for recurrence or mortality.
🩸Less bleeding events with apixaban 2.5 mg.

This is a question many of us have asked ourselves when facing cancer patients in our clinical practice, and now we finally have an answer.

Recently published in @nejm.org, API-CAT:
👯 1766 cancer patients.
🎂 69 years old.
👨‍🦰43.4% men.
🦵 Included, in average, 8 months after VTE.
🗓️ Median follow-up 11.8 months.
💊 Apixaban 2.5 mg vs 5 mg twice daily.

You might remember the EVE trial (2023):
💊 apixaban 2.5 mg vs 5 mg twice daily in cancer patients with VTE after 6-12 months of treatment.

🩸Primary outcome: bleeding.
🗓️ Follow-up: 12 months.
👯360 patients included in analysis.

Shockingly, apixaban 2.5 mg did not reduce bleeding compared to 5 mg.

❓TUS may pose a management challenge due to the lack of solid evidence.

💊We compared 161 patients treated with DOACs vs VKAs.
⛑️Overall, no differences in major bleeding or recurrences.
🧪DOACs: Pharmacokinetic advantages.

🍺Need to individualize in some populations (liver disease...).
