Summary

The primary objective is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of edoxaban (preceded by a short course of LMWH) compared with dalteparin for the prevention of the combined outcome of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) or major bleeding in subjects with VTE associated with cancer during a 12-month study period. If non-inferiority is established, LMWH/edoxaban will be compared with dalteparin for superiority.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Male or female subjects with age ≥ 18 years or the otherwise legal lower age according to the country of residence;
  • Confirmed acute lower extremity proximal DVT or PE for which long term treatment with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is indicated;
  • Cancer, other than basal-cell or squamous-cell carcinoma of the skin;
  • Able to provide written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Thrombectomy, insertion of a caval filter, or use of a fibrinolytic agent to treat the current (index) episode of DVT and/or PE;
  • Treatment with therapeutic doses of an anticoagulant other than that used for pretreatment of the current (index) VTE episode prior to randomization;
  • Active bleeding or high risk for bleeding contraindicating treatment with LMWH or edoxaban;
  • Any other contraindication listed in the local labeling of dalteparin, enoxaparin, or edoxaban;
