Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary efficacy objective is to evaluate whether rivaroxaban is superior to placebo in the long-term prevention of recurrent symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with symptomatic deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) who completed 6 to 14 months of treatment with vitamin K antagonist (VKA) outside of the Einstein VTE treatment program (study 11702) or who completed 6 or 12 months with VKA or rivaroxaban in the 11702 study.;Secondary Objective: ;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy outcome is symptomatic recurrent VTE, i.e., the composite of recurrent DVT or fatal or non-fatal PE
