The CLOT study, published in 2003, showed that in patients with malignancy and acute venous thromboembolism, dalteparin was more effective than warfarin in reducing the risk of recurrent embolic events.[1] Dalteparin is not superior to unfractionated heparin in preventing blood clots.[2]
Heparins are cleared by the kidneys, but studies have shown that dalteparin does not accumulate even if kidney function is reduced.[3]
