Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Key inclusion criteria: • Successful TAVR of a native aortic valve stenosis • By iliofemoral or subclavian access • With any approved/marketed device • Written informed consent (IC)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Key exclusion criteria: • Atrial fibrillation (AF), current or previous, with an ongoing indication for oral anticoagulant treatment • Any other indication for continued treatment with any oral anticoagulant (OAC) • Known bleeding diathesis (such as but not limited to active internal bleeding, clinically significant bleeding, platelet count = 50,000/mm3 at screening, hemoglobin level < 8.5 g/dL, active peptic ulcer or known gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, history of intracranial hemorrhage or subdural hematoma) • Any indication for dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for more than 3 months after randomization (such as coronary, carotid or peripheral stent implantation) • Clinically overt stroke within the last 3 months • Planned coronary or vascular intervention or major surgery • Severe renal impairment (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2) or on dialysis, or post-TAVR unresolved acute kidney injury with renal dysfunction stage 2 or higher • Moderate and severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B or C) or any hepatic disease associated with coagulopathy. Screening, IC and randomization: Subjects are screened for inclusion after TAVR. Consenting subjects must be randomized within 2-7 days (1-7 days after protocol amendment) after a successful TAVR and before hospital discharge.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary comparison will be to test the superiority of a rivaroxaban-based strategy to an antiplatelet-based strategy with respect to the primary efficacy endpoint. This comparison is preceded by a non-inferiority test that must be satisfied. Further, non-inferiority of a rivaroxaban-based strategy to an antiplatelet-based strategy towards the primary safety endpoint will be tested. Primary Efficacy Endpoint: death or first adjudicated thromboembolic event (DTE) defined as the composite of all-cause death and adjudicated any stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), symptomatic valve thrombosis, pulmonary embolism (PE), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or non-CNS systemic embolism. Primary Safety Endpoint: primary bleeding event (PBE) defined as the composite of adjudicated life-threatening, disabling or major bleeding, classified according to the valve academic research consortium (VARC) definitions following the bleeding academic research consortium (BARC) classification.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secondary efficacy objectives are to compare the effects of the rivaroxaban-based strategy and antiplatelet-based strategy with respect to the net-clinical-benefit, defined as the composite of death or first thromboembolic events and life-threatening, disabling, or major bleeding events classified according to the VARC definitions following the BARC classification. Whereas the secondary safety objectives are safety criteria with respect to bleeding (thrombolysis in myocardial infarction [TIMI] major or minor bleeds, international society on thrombosis and haemostasis [ISTH] major bleeding, and BARC 2, 3, or 5 bleeds).
