Summary

Evaluation of heparin/edoxaban tosylate (DU176b) versus heparin/warfarin in preventing recurrence of blood clots in patients with acute symptomatic deep-vein blood clots in the legs and/or blood clots in the lungs.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Male or female subjects older than the minimum legal adult age (country specific);
  • Acute symptomatic proximal DVT and/or symptomatic PE confirmed at the site by appropriate diagnostic imaging;
  • Able to provide written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

  • thrombectomy, insertion of a caval filter, or use of a fibrinolytic agent to treat the current episode of DVT and/or PE;
  • More than 48 hours pre-treatment with anticoagulant therapy prior to randomization;
  • Calculated Creatinine clearance (CrCL) \= 2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), or total bilirubin (TBL) x 1.5 times the ULN;
  • patients with active cancer for whom long term treatment with (LMW) heparin is anticipated;
  • active bleeding or high risk for bleeding contraindicating treatment with (LMW) heparin or warfarin;
  • chronic treatment with non-aspirin non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs);
  • treatment with aspirin in a dosage of more than 100 mg/per day or dual antiplatelet therapy;
  • concurrent treatment with potent P-gp inhibitors;
  • subjects with any condition that, as judged by the investigator, would place the subject at increased risk of harm if he/she participated in the study
