Inclusion criteria

* Age ≥18 years * Subjects undergoing elective total knee or hip replacement or a revision of at least one component of a total knee or hip replacement

Exclusion criteria

* Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding * Known or suspected, acquired or bleeding or coagulation disorder in the subject or a first degree relative * Active bleeding or at high risk for bleeding. * Brain, spinal, ophthalmologic, or major surgery or trauma within the past 90 days other than the elective knee/hip surgery * Active hepatobiliary disease * Hemoglobin \<9 g/dL * Platelet count \<100,000/mm3 * Creatinine clearance \<30 mL/min

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Composite of International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) Major Bleeding/Clinically Relevant Non-major Bleeding (CRNM) While Undergoing Elective TKR or THR at the End of Treatment + 2 Days2 weeks + 2 days for TKR, 5 weeks + 2 days for THRTKR = Total knee replacement; THR = Total hip replacement. ISTH major bleeding is 1) Fatal or 2) Bleeding in a critical organ, such as brain, spine, eye, retroperitoneum, joint, heart sac, or skeletal muscle (and resulting in compartment syndrome), or 3) Bleeding that results in a fall of hemoglobin of 2 g/dL or more or transfusion of 2 units or more of packed red cells or whole blood within 24 hours. CRNM bleeding is bleeding that 1\) Is clinically acute and overt 2) Does not satisfy criteria as a major bleed but requires medical intervention, such as a visit to a physician's office, emergency room, or urgent care center for epistaxis

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Composite of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE)/All Cause Death at the End of Treatment + 2 Days2 weeks + 2 days for TKR, 5 weeks + 2 days for THRVTE is the combination of deep vein thrombosis and non-fatal pulmonary embolism.

TKR = Total knee replacement; THR = Total hip replacement. ISTH major bleeding is 1) Fatal or 2) Bleeding in a critical organ, such as brain, spine, eye, retroperitoneum, joint, heart sac, or skeletal muscle (and resulting in compartment syndrome), or 3) Bleeding that results in a fall of hemoglobin of 2 g/dL or more or transfusion of 2 units or more of packed red cells or whole blood within 24 hours. CRNM bleeding is bleeding that 1\) Is clinically acute and overt 2) Does not satisfy criteria as a major bleed but requires medical intervention, such as a visit to a physician's office, emergency room, or urgent care center for epistaxis

Time frame: 2 weeks + 2 days for TKR, 5 weeks + 2 days for THR

Population: All participants who received at least one dose of study drug during the Treatment Period
