Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
This study will measure the percentual difference in thrombin generation capacity of plasma taken at baseline versus plasma taken at steady state in patients with cirrhosis and healthy controls. The main endpoint of the study is the difference between the anticoagulant potency (as expressed by percentual decrease in thrombin generation) of edoxaban in patients compared to controls.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
This study will also look into the occurence of adverse events and the plasma levels of Edoxaban compared to an anti-Xa assay (calibrated for Edoxaban). Adverse events will be divided into several categories; death, major bleeding, moderate bleeding and mild bleeding events. Major bleeding events are defined as a bleeding at a critical site, a bleeding leading to a loss of 2g/dl of hemoglobin or requiring transfusion of more than two units of blood. Moderate bleeding events do not meet the criteria for major bleeding events but do require medical intervention of transfusion. Mild events do not require intervention or discontinuation of the study drugs. Other end-points: Prothrombin time, activated partial prothrombin time, D-dimer, factor I and II.
