Cancer-Associated Thrombosis on Bevacizumab: Risk of Recurrence and Bleeding When Bevacizumab Is Stopped or Continued

Résumé

Cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) is a common complication during cancer, with complex management due to an increased risk of both recurrence and bleeding. Bevacizumab is an effective anti-angiogenic treatment but increases the risk of bleeding and potentially the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anticoagulant therapy in patients with CAT receiving bevacizumab, according to the continuation or discontinuation of bevacizumab. In a retrospective multicenter study, patients receiving anticoagulant for CAT occurring under bevacizumab therapy were included. The primary endpoint combined recurrent VTE and/or major or clinically relevant non-major bleeding. Among the 162 patients included, bevacizumab was discontinued in 70 (43.2%) patients and continued in 92 (56.8%) patients. After a median follow-up of 318 days, 21 (30.0%) patients in the discontinuation group experienced VTE recurrence or major or clinically relevant non-major bleeding, compared to 27 (29.3%) in the continuation group. The analysis of survival following the first event showed no significant difference between the groups in uni- or multivariate analysis (p = 0.19). The primary endpoint was not influenced by the duration of bevacizumab exposure. These results suggest that the efficacy and safety of anticoagulant therapy in patients with CAT receiving bevacizumab is not modified regardless of whether bevacizumab is continued or discontinued.
