  Purpose

The primary efficacy objective is to evaluate whether dabigatran etexilate is superior to placebo in the long-term prevention of recurrent symptomatic venous thrombo-embolism (VTE) in patients with symptomatic deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) who completed 6 to 18 months of treatment with vitamin K antagonist (VKA).

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Centrally Confirmed Symptomatic Recurrent Venous Thrombotic Events (VTE) Including Unexplained Death During the Intended Treatment Period [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Symptomatic recurrent VTE is the composite of recurrent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) , fatal or non-fatal pulmonary embolism (PE). Whilst the endpoint is time to event, the measured values present the number of participant with event and the hazard ratio presents the time to event.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Centrally Confirmed Symptomatic Recurrent Venous Thrombotic Events (VTE) Excluding Unexplained Death During the Intended Treatment Period [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Symptomatic recurrent VTE is the composite of recurrent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) , fatal or non-fatal pulmonary embolism (PE). Whilst the endpoint is time to event, the measured values present the number of participant with event and the hazard ratio presents the time to event.

  • Centrally Confirmed Symptomatic Recurrent Deep Venous Thrombotic (DVT) Events During the Intended Treatment Period [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Centrally Confirmed Symptomatic Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Events During the Intended Treatment Period [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Centrally Confirmed Unexplained Deaths During the Intended Treatment Period [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • First Centrally Confirmed Major Bleeding Event (MBE) During the Treatment Period [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    A bleeding event was considered to be major if it was fatal, associated with a fall in haemoglobin of ≥2 g/dL, led to the transfusion of ≥2 units packed cells or whole blood, or occurred in a critical site (intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular, pericardial or intra-articular, intramuscular with compartment syndrome or retroperitoneal). Whilst the endpoint is time to event, the measured values present the number of participant with event and the hazard ratio presents the time to event. However as the Cox model did not converge due to too few events, hazard ratios are not estimable.
