This is the first study examining real-life data of pediatric cancer patients treated with rivaroxaban. Children with thrombocytopenia and high bleeding risk were excluded from previous clinical trials. Data regarding the safety and efficacy of rivaroxaban in pediatric cancer-associated thrombosis are scarce. Our case series included 16 children aged 7.5-17 years. Thrombus resolution rate in our study was comparable to results of previous studies. However, higher rates of thrombotic and bleeding complications were seen in our study as compared to previous reports, especially among patients with relapsed or refractory disease.
