However, assessing thrombotic risk in patients treated with DOACS remains crucial due to the potential for recurrent events. Current clinical risk scores have limitations in predicting and monitoring venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk in specific DOAC populations. Several emerging biomarkers show promise in assessing thrombotic risk in patients treated with DOACS. Genetic factors like VKORC1 and CYP2C9 variants are well-established determinants of warfarin response, but the genetic landscape for DOAC outcomes appears more complex. Rare variants and polygenic approaches may play a role in personalizing anticoagulation therapy. Elevated factor VIII levels are associated with increased VTE recurrence risk after anticoagulation withdrawal in cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) patients. In contrast, the circulating tissue factor is not useful for predicting VTE in this setting. Soluble P-selectin has emerged as a good marker of VTE recurrence, and its inclusion in the Vienna CATS risk model improves VTE prediction in cancer patients. While these biomarkers hold promise, larger studies are needed to validate their utility and establish standardized assays. Caution is warranted in patients at high bleeding risk. Integrating clinical factors, genetics, and circulating biomarkers will likely optimize thrombotic risk assessment in patients treated with DOACS.

Traditional treatments have focused on symptom management, but recent advancements in drug delivery systems offer promising pathways for targeted therapies. This abstract explores novel approaches to combat SCA through innovative drug delivery systems, gene therapy, and new pharmaceutical interventions. One novel pathway for targeting SCA involves utilizing advanced drug delivery systems to enhance the effectiveness of therapeutic agents. Nanotechnology-based delivery systems, such as nanoparticles and liposomes, offer precise drug targeting, controlled release, and improved bioavailability. These systems can encapsulate anti-sickling agents, like hydroxyurea, and enable their specific delivery to affected cells, reducing side effects and enhancing therapeutic outcomes. Additionally, therapy has become a ground-breaking method of treating SCA. CRISPR/Cas9 technology presents a groundbreaking opportunity to correct the genetic mutation responsible for sickle hemoglobin production. By precisely editing the HBB gene, which encodes the abnormal hemoglobin, researchers aim to restore normal hemoglobin expression, potentially offering a curative treatment for SCA. Furthermore, recent advancements in drug development have led to the discovery of promising candidates targeting specific pathways involved in SCA pathophysiology.
