In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Cancer patients are at higher risk of getting a blood clot (known as venous thromboembolism (VTE)) especially during chemotherapy and some patients are more at risk than others. These clots can be prevented by using blood thinners (known as anticoagulants) but these are not suitable for everyone as they also carry a risk of bleeding. This study aims to identify which chemotherapy patients are most at risk of a blood clot and at what point in their treatment this is likely to happen. In this project biomarkers in the blood that are involved in blood clotting will be measured in cancer patients at four stages during chemotherapy to see how the biomarkers change during treatment. The blood samples for these tests are taken at the same time as the normal routine blood tests done before a chemotherapy cycle. Biomarker levels will be compared between those patients who subsequently get a VTE a
