Recruitment details

This open label, single arm prospective cohort study was designed to assess the safety of dabigatran etexilate (DE) for secondary prevention of paediatric venous thromboembolism (VTE) with 12-month (365 days) treatment period followed by 28 days end of treatment follow-up. Results of participants were reported via 3 mutually exclusive age groups.

Pre-assignment details

All subjects were screened for eligibility prior to participation in the trial. Subjects attended a specialist site which ensured that they (the subjects) strictly met all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria. 1 enrolled subject was withdrawn before treated due to unable to swallow the capsules.

The event-free probability of major or minor (including CRNM) bleeding event were provided by Kaplan-Meier estimation with its 95% confidence intervals (CIs) at 6 and 12 months. Patients who did not experience major or minor (including CRNM) bleeding event at the time of analysis, dropped out from the trial early, were lost to follow-up, or had died from non-bleeding related cause were considered as non-events and censored. On treatment period was from first DE administration to 3 days of residual effect period after last DE administration.

Time frame: At month 6 (Week 26) and month 12 (Week 52) of on treatment period

Population: The treated set (TS) included all patients who were dispensed trial medication and had taken at least 1 dose of investigational treatment, which was used to assess safety endpoints, demographics and baseline characteristics.
