The safety and efficacy of edoxaban and dalteparin is unclear for several cancer groups.

We evaluated the occurrence of the primary outcome in large cancer groups. The primary outcome was the composite of recurrent VTE or major bleeding over 12 months.

In patients with gastrointestinal cancer, the primary outcome occurred in 19.4% patients given edoxaban and in 15.0% given dalteparin (risk difference [RD], 4.4%; 95%-CI, −4.1% to 12.8%). The corresponding rates for edoxaban and dalteparin were 10.4% and 10.7% for lung cancer (RD, −0.3%; 95%-CI, −10.0% to 9.5%), 13.6% and 12.5% for urogenital cancer (RD, 1.1; 95%-CI, −10.1–12.4), 3.1% and 11.7% for breast cancer (RD, −8.6; 95%-CI, −19.3–2.2), 8.9% and 10.9% for hematological malignancies (RD, −2.0; 95%-CI, −13.1–9.1), and 10.4% and 17.4% for gynecological cancer (RD, −7.0; 95%-CI, −19.8–5.7).
