Scientific titleSELECT-D: Anticoagulation therapy in SELECTeD cancer patients at risk of recurrence of venous thromboembolism: a prospective, randomised, open label, multicentre pilot study
Study acronymSELECT-D
Study hypothesisProspective, randomised, open label, multicentre pilot study comparing dalteparin vs. rivoraxaban with a second placebo-controlled randomisation comparing the duration of anticoagulation therapy (6 months vs 12 months treatment) in Residual Vein Thrombosis [RVT] positive (+ve) patients.
Ethics approval(s)West Midlands – Coventry and Warwickshire, 08/02/2013, ref: 13/WM/0017
ConditionTopic: National Cancer Research Network; Subtopic/Disease: All Cancers/Misc Sites
InterventionDalteparin (Fragmin®, Pfizer), A low molecular weight heparin, the only licensed anticoagulant in the UK for the extended treatment and prevention of recurrence of VTE in cancer patients.

Rivaroxaban (Xarelto®, Bayer), An oral direct Factor Xa inhibitor, licensed for the treatment of DVT and the prevention of recurrence of DVT and PE in adult patients.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhasePhase III
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Dalteparin (Fragmin®, Pfizer), Rivaroxaban (Xarelto®, Bayer)
Primary outcome measureVTE recurrence rates (including symptomatic VTE and incidental PE) calculated from the date of randomisation to the date of first VTE recurrence event.
Secondary outcome measures1. Acceptability of the study assessed by the numbers randomised and screening logs for reasons for non-randomisation
2. Biomarker correlation
3. Compliance to treatment assessed by the frequency of withdrawals of therapy and duration of therapy
4. Feasibility of conducting an economic evaluation
5. Major bleeding and clinically relevant non-major bleeding. Time to major bleed or clinically relevant non-major bleed calculated from date of randomisation
6. Overall survival; calculated from the date of randomisation to the date of death from any cause
7. Patient experience measured using Anti-Clot Treatment Scale (ACTS)
8. Progression-free survival (adjuvant patients) calculated from the date of randomisation to the date of first progression or death from any cause
9. Quality of life measured using the EuroQol EQ-5D-5L questionnaire
10. Symptomatic VTE and incidental PE recurrence rates calculated from the date of randomisation to the date of first recurrence event
11. Tumour efficacy measured using the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) assessment
