Brief Summary

Patients with cancer have a high risk of developing venous blood clots or thromboembolism (VTE). In an effort to target patients at highest risk of VTE for thromboprophylaxis (protective treatment for...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Adult patients \> 18 years old with locally-advanced or metastatic cancers who are about to start or are already receiving any systemic chemotherapy or targeted therapy.
  • Estimated overall survival of ≥ 6 months
  • Anticipated duration of therapy ≥ 9 weeks (if 3-week cycle) or ≥ 12 weeks (if 2 or 4-week cycle). Systemic therapy is allowed to change if necessary, or to terminate, during this period

Exclusion

  • Antithrombotic therapy including warfarin, dabigatran, low molecular weight heparin or unfractionated heparin. Patients taking aspirin may participate in this study.
  • Anti-angiogenic therapy with thalidomide or lenalidomide. Patients receiving bevacizumab may participate in this study.
  • Patients starting hormonal therapy exclusively, such as SERM or aromatase inhibitor therapy for breast cancer, or androgen-ablative therapy for prostate cancer.
  • Statin use within 3 months prior to enrolment
  • Adjuvant therapy in patients who have already received curative-intent local therapy (surgery or radiotherapy). Patients with glioblastoma starting adjuvant chemotherapy are an exception given the high likelihood of residual disease and risk of VTE in this population.
  • Asian descent as assessed by history. If either of the participant's parents is Asian (peoples of East, Southeast, and South Asia), a patient will be excluded due to slower metabolism of the drug and concerns regarding toxicity at the 20 mg dose level.
  • Urinary creatinine clearance of less than 40 ml/min based on reported MDRD GFR, present in FAHC metabolic profile reports, during the 14 day screening period.
  • AST or ALT elevation of greater than 3X upper limit of normal, during the 14 day screening period.
  • Patients with a known history of statin intolerance that was accompanied by severe adverse reaction.
  • Patients who are currently participating in another clinical trial involving an investigational medication if there is a known or suspected drug interaction with rosuvastatin or the statin class, or if the investigational agent is known or suspected to be associated with a significantly increased risk of thrombosis.
