A Study of the Safety and Effectiveness of Apixaban in Preventing Blood Clots in Children With Leukemia Who Have a Central Venous Catheter and Are Treated With Asparaginase

A Phase III Randomized, Open Label, Multi-center Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Apixaban for Thromboembolism Prevention Versus No Systemic Anticoagulant Prophylaxis During Induction Chemotherapy in Children With Newly Diagnosed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) or Lymphoma (T or B Cell) Treated With Asparaginase

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of a blood thinning drug called Apixaban versus no administration of a blood thinning drug, in preventing blood clots in children with leukemia or lymphoma. Patients must be receiving chemotherapy, including asparaginase, and have a central line (a catheter inserted for administration of medications and blood sampling)
