Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: •Active bleeding or high risk of bleeding contraindicating treatment with low molecular weight heparin •Contraindication listed in the labeling or conditions precluding patient treatment with enoxaparin or requiring dose adjustment (eg, severe renal impairment, please refer to the local label of enoxaparin in your country) •Conditions prohibiting bilateral venography (eg, amputation of one leg, allergy to contrast media) •Pregnant and breast-feeding women.

| Main Objective: The objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of BAY 59-7939 10 mg once daily dosing in prevention of VTE in men and women aged 18 years or above undergoing elective total knee replacement.;Secondary Objective: 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.;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 ICAC and the AC/VTE. The major secondary efficacy endpoint is: •Incidence of the composite endpoint comprising proximal DVT, non-fatal PE and VTE-related death (referred to as ‘major VTE’) Further secondary endpoints are given by: •Incidence of DVT (total, proximal, distal) •Incidence of symptomatic VTE (DVT, PE) •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 compromising major VTE and treatment-emergent major bleeding (as defined in Section 4.6.2) •Incidence of the composite endpoint that results from the primary endpoint by substituting VTE related death for all death (composite of any DVT [proximal and/or distal] 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) The analysis of the secondary efficacy endpoints related to VTE will be solely based on the assessments made by the ICAC and AC/VTE. | — |
