Prevention, Venous Thromboembolism
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to assess if 10 mg BAY 59-7939, taken once daily as a tablet, is safe and can help prevent blood clots forming after a hip replacement operation.
Interventions
10 mg rivaroxaban (tablet) once daily administered for 35 +/- 4 days
40 mg enoxaparin syringe administered for 12 +/- 2 days
Sponsors
Study design
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Male and female patients aged 18 years or above * Patients scheduled for elective total hip replacement
Exclusion criteria
* Planned, staged total bilateral hip replacement * 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 * Conditions prohibiting bilateral venography (e.g. amputation of one leg, allergy to contrast media)
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Composite endpoint of total VTE i.e.: Any DVT (proximal and/or distal), Non fatal PE, Death of all causes | Treatment period: up to day 35+/-6 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Incidence of symptomatic VTE (DVT, PE) | Treatment period: up to day 35+/-6 |
| Incidence of DVT (total, proximal, distal) | Treatment period: up to day 35+/-6 |
| Incidence of symptomatic VTE during follow-up | Follow-up period: following 35+/-6 days |
| Incidence of the composite endpoint comprising proximal DVT, non-fatal PE and VTE- related death (major VTE) | Treatment period: up to day 35+/-6 |
| Incidence of the composite endpoint that results from the primary endpoint by substituting VTE related death for all death | Treatment period: up to day 35+/-6 |
| Incidence of the composite endpoint that results from major VTE by substituting all cause mortality for VTE-related death | Treatment period: up to day 35+/-6 |
| Treatment-emergent major bleedings | From first dose of double-blind study medication to up to two days after last dose of double-blind study medication |
| The composite endpoint comprising major VTE and treatment-emergent major bleeding | For major VTE, treatment period: up to Day 35+/-6 ; for major bleeding, from first dose of double-blind study medication to up to two days after last dose of double-blind study medication |
