Brief summary
This study was to compare the study drug BAY1213790 to existing therapies, i.e. enoxaparin or apixaban, for the prevention of blood clotting and safety in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The study was open-label, but observer-blinded for the different doses of BAY1213790. This means that it was known which treatment was given, but it was not known which dose of BAY1213790 was administered.
Interventions
40 mg enoxaparin administered as subcutaneous injection once daily
2.5 mg apixaban administered as tablet orally twice daily
Single dose of BAY1213790 administered as intravenous infusion
