Purpose
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.

| Official Title: | A Phase 3, Randomized, Parallel-Group, Multi-Center, Multi-National Study for the Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of (LMW) Heparin/Edoxaban Versus (LMW) Heparin/Warfarin in Subjects With Symptomatic Deep-Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and or Pulmonary Embolism (PE). |
- Symptomatic recurrent VTE, i.e., the composite of DVT, non-fatal PE, and fatal PE [ Time Frame: 12 months from time of randomization ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- The composite clinical outcome of symptomatic recurrent DVT, non-fatal symptomatic recurrent PE, and all-cause mortality [ Time Frame: 12 months from time of randomization ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Clinically relevant bleeding (i.e., major or clinically relevant non-major bleeding) occurring during treatment [ Time Frame: 12 months from time of randomization ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Eligibility| Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |
| Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
| Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
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 CrCL < 30 mL/min;
- significant liver disease (e.g., acute hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis) or alanine transaminase (ALT) >\= 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
