Registered outcomes10
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Number of Participants With Recurrent Symptomatic Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) and Deaths Related to VTE | For statistical analysis 1: from randomisation to end of post treatment period (ptp), planned to be up to day 224. For statistical analysis 2: from randomisation to 6 months (up to day 180) | All suspected recurrent VTEs and all deaths and bleeding events were evaluated by an independent central adjudication committee, and all analyses are based on the events that were centrally confirmed by this committee. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants With Recurrent Symptomatic VTE and All Deaths | For statistical analysis 1: from randomisation to 6 months (up to day 180) For statistical analysis 2: from randomisation to end of ptp, planned to be up to day 224. | VTE or any death which occured from randomisation to end of ptp. All suspected recurrent VTEs and all deaths and bleeding events were evaluated by an independent central adjudication committee, and all analyses are based on the events that were centrally confirmed by this committee. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants With Recurrent Symptomatic DVT | For statistical analysis 1: from randomisation to 6 months (up to day 180) For statistical analysis 2: from randomisation to end of ptp, planned to be up to day 224. | Symptomatic DVT which occured from randomisation to end of ptp. All suspected recurrent VTEs and all deaths and bleeding events were evaluated by an independent central adjudication committee, and all analyses are based on the events that were centrally confirmed by this committee. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants With Recurrent Symptomatic Non-fatal PE | For statistical analysis 1: from randomisation to 6 months (up to day 180). For statistical analysis 2: from randomisation to end of ptp, planned to be up to day 224. | Symptomatic non-fatal PE which occured from randomisation to end of ptp. All suspected recurrent VTEs and all deaths and bleeding events were evaluated by an independent central adjudication committee, and all analyses are based on the events that were centrally confirmed by this committee. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants Who Died Due to VTE | From randomisation to 6 months (up to day 180) and to end of ptp (planned to be up to day 224) | VTE - related deaths which occured from randomisation to end of ptp. All suspected recurrent VTEs and all deaths and bleeding events were evaluated by an independent central adjudication committee, and all analyses are based on the events that were centrally confirmed by this committee. Hazard ratios and 95% CI were not calculated because of insufficient number of events. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants Who Died (Any Cause) | For statistical analysis 1: from randomisation to 6 months (up to day 180) For statistical analysis 2: from randomisation to end of ptp, planned to be up to day 224. | Any deaths which occured from randomisation to end of ptp. All suspected recurrent VTEs and all deaths and bleeding events were evaluated by an independent central adjudication committee, and all analyses are based on the events that were centrally confirmed by this committee. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants With Recurrent Symptomatic Fatal and Non-fatal PE | For statistical analysis 1: from randomisation to 6 months (up to day 180). For statistical analysis 2: from randomisation to end of ptp, planned to be up to day 224. | Symptomatic fatal and non-fatal PE which occured from randomisation to end of ptp. All suspected recurrent VTEs and all deaths and bleeding events were evaluated by an independent central adjudication committee, and all analyses are based on the events that were centrally confirmed by this committee. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants With MBE, MBE and/or CRBE, and Any Bleeding Events | From first intake of study drug to last intake of study drug + 6 days washout | Major bleeding events (MBE) are defined as * Fatal bleeding * Symptomatic bleeding in a critical area or organ * Bleeding causing a fall in haemoglobin level of 20 g/L (1.24 mmol/L) or more, or leading to transfusion of 2 or more units of whole blood or red cells Clinically-relevant bleeding events (CRBE) are defined as * spontaneous skin hematoma \>=25 cm² * wound hematoma \>=100 cm² * spontaneous nose bleed \>5 min * macroscopic hematuria spontaneous or \>24 hours if associated with an intervention * spontaneous rectal bleeding * gingival bleeding \>5 min * leading to hospitalisation and / or requiring surgical treatment * leading to a transfusion of \<2 units of whole blood or red cells * any other bleeding event considered clinically relevant by the investigator Any bleeding events were defined as major, clinically-relevant and nuisance bleeding events. Nuisance bleeding events were defined as all other bleeding events that did not fulfil the criteria from above. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants With Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) | From first intake of study drug to last contact date | Any ACS occurring during the conduct of the study (centrally adjudicated as definite). Patients having a centrally adjudicated definite ACS during intake of study drug and after stopping study drug, according to treatment group. ACS assessments pre-specified in the protocol without adjudication. Prior to database lock, the steering committee asked to have ACS events adjudicated by an independent committee. After database lock, the committee was provided with source documentation that was blinded to the patient's treatment assignment. ACS results presented are based on adjudication findings. |
| Secondary | Laboratory Analyses | From first intake of study drug to last intake of study drug + 6 days washout | Frequency of patients with possible clinically significant abnormalities. |
