Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Determine the dose-response relationship among the 3 QD and 3 BID doses of BMS-562247 on the composite endpoint of adjudicated VTE events and all-cause death in subjects treated with study medication for 12 +/-2 days following surgery | throughout the study |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Assess the effect of QD and BID dose of BMS-562247 vs subcutaneous 30 mg q12h enoxaparin and warfarin on the composite endpoint of adjudication VTE events and all-cause death in subjects treated for 12 +/-2 days following surgery | throughout the study |
| Assess the effect of each QD and BID dose of BMS-562247 versus subcutaneous 30 mg q12h enoxaparin and oral warfarin on the incidence of adjudicated major bleeding events in subjects treated with study medication for 12 +/-2 days following surgery | throughout the study |
| Assess the effect of each QD and BID dose of BMS-562247 versus subcutaneous 30 mg q12h enoxaparin and oral warfarin on the incidence of adjudicated minor bleeding events in subjects treated with study medication for 12 +/-2 days following surgery | throughout the study |
| To determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of BMS-562247 and the relationship to dose and dose schedule | throughout the study |
