Abstract
Background: About 7% of patients with cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (CAT) develop a recurrence during anticoagulant treatment. Identification of high-risk patients may help guide treatment decisions.
Aim: To identify clinical predictors and develop a prediction model for on-treatment recurrent CAT.
Methods: For this individual patient data meta-analysis, we used data from four randomized controlled trials evaluating low-molecular-weight heparin or direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for CAT (Hokusai VTE Cancer, SELECT-D, CLOT, and CATCH). The primary outcome was adjudicated on-treatment recurrent CAT during a 6-month follow-up. A clinical prediction model was developed using multivariable logistic regression analysis with backward selection. This model was validated using internal-external cross-validation. Performance was assessed by the c-statistic and a calibration plot.
Results: After excluding patients using vitamin K antagonists, the combined dataset comprised 2,245 patients with cancer and acute CAT who were treated with edoxaban (23%), rivaroxaban (9%), dalteparin (47%), or tinzaparin (20%). Recurrent on-treatment CAT during the 6-month follow-up occurred in 150 (6.7%) patients. Predictors included in the final model were age (restricted cubic spline), breast cancer (odds ratio [OR]: 0.42; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.20-0.87), metastatic disease (OR: 1.44; 95% CI: 1.01-2.05), treatment with DOAC (OR: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.44-0.98), and deep vein thrombosis only as an index event (OR: 1.72; 95% CI: 1.31-2.27). The c-statistic of the model was 0.63 (95% CI: 0.54-0.72) after internal-external cross-validation. Calibration varied across studies.
Conclusion: The prediction model for recurrent CAT included five clinical predictors and has only modest discrimination. Prediction of recurrent CAT at the initiation of anticoagulation remains challenging.
