* Background Multiple myeloma (MM) is a haematological malignancy characterised by uncontrolled plasma cell proliferation leading to bone damage, anaemia, kidney failure, and hypercalcemia. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) represents a significant concern in MM and more than 10% of patients develop a VTE. The currently most used thromboprophylaxis regimens consist of either aspirin or prophylactic low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). The choice between the two depends on patient risk assessment according to the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) guidelines. Due to the associated high VTE risk, MM patients have an inherent need for thromboprophylaxis which is an essential part of their care. The previous randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing aspirin with LMWH observed no major bleeding events and only one minor bleeding in the LMWH group and when comparing aspirin with LMWH and warfarin, major bleeding events were observed only in three patients (1.4%) who received aspirin. Moreover, six patients (2.7%) in the aspirin group, one patient (0.5%) in the warfarin group, and three patients (1.4%) in the LMWH group experienced minor bleeding events....
