Outcome results

Primary

Proportion of Subjects With Venous Thromboembolism Events.

The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of subjects who experienced at least one of the thromboembolic events listed below during the period from the start of study treatment to the venography at the end of study treatment. * Lower extremity DVT confirmed by bilateral venography at the end of study treatment * Definite diagnosis of symptomatic PE * Symptomatic DVT confirmed before the venography at the end of study treatment The objectives were to verify the non-inferiority of edoxaban to enoxaparin with regard to prevention of VTE

Time frame: 2 weeks

Population: The FAS was defined as all subjects enrolled in the study, but excluded those who had significant GCP violations, who had not received any doses of the study drug, or those who did not develop symptomatic DVT or PE, but in whom venography was not appropriately performed.

Population: Safety Analysis Set is defined as subjects secondarily enrolled in study, but excluded those with significant GCP violations, did not receive any doses of study drug, or had no safety data after start of study treatment. Subjects with significant GCP violations, but received at least one dose of study drug, safety data were assessed individually
