Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Planned, staged total bilateral hip replacement. 2. Active bleeding or high risk of bleeding contraindicating treatment with low molecular weight heparin. 3. Contraindication listed in the labeling or conditions precluding patient treatment with enoxaparin or requiring dose adjustment(e.g.severe renal impairment, please refer to the local label of enoxaparin of your country). 4. Signinficant liver disease(e.g. acute clinical hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis) 5. Conditions prohibiting bilateral venography (amputation of one leg, allergy to contrast media). 6. Pregnant and breast-feeding women. Women with child-bearing potential not using adequate birth control method. (Note: as adequate method of birth control oral contraception is recommended. If oral contraception is not feasible both partners should use adequate barrier birth control). 7. Drug- or alcohol abuse. 8. Concomitant use of HIV-protease inhibitors. 9. Therapy with another investigational product within 30 days prior start of study. 10. Planned intermittent pneumatic compression during active treatment period. 11.

For other concomitant medication not allowed see section 4.5.7 of the study protocol

| Main Objective: The objective of this trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of BAY 59-7939 10 mg once daily dosing in extended prevention of VTE in men and women aged 18 years or above undergoing elective total hip replacement.;Secondary Objective: ;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint is defined as a composite endpoint of: • Any DVT (proximal and/or distal) and • Non fatal PE and • Death from all causes. The analysis of the primary efficacy endpoint will be solely based on the assessments made by the Venography and the VTE Adjudication Committees. Secondary efficacy endpoints are: •Incidence of the composite endpoint comprising proximal DVT, non-fatal PE and VTE-related death (referred to as ‘major VTE’) •Incidence of the composite endpoint that results from the primary endpoint by substituting VTE related death for all death (composite of any DVT and nonfatal PE and VTE-related death) •Incidence of the composite endpoint that results from major VTE by substituting all cause mortality for VTE related death (composite of proximal DVT and nonfatal PE and death from all causes ) •Incidence of symptomatic VTE (DVT, PE) •Incidence of DVT (total, proximal, distal) •Incidence of symptomatic VTE during follow-up (i.e. after the end of the time window for primary efficacy assessment). •'Net clinical benefit' assessed by the composite endpoint comprising major VTE and treatment-emergent major bleeding (as defined in Section 4.6.2). The analysis of the secondary efficacy endpoints related to VTE will be solely based on the assessments made by the Venography and VTE Adjudication committees. A further study endpoint is health care resource utilization, assessed by duration of hospitalization, any re-hospitalization during the entire study period, and rehabilitation center stay following hospital discharge. | — |
