- Adjudicated Incidence of Bleeding Events [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Adjudicated Incidence of Bleeding Events during treatment period
- Percent of Subjects With Liver-related Laboratory Marked Abnormalities (MA) [ Time Frame: 3 months ]liver enzyme (ALT and/or AST) and/or bilirubin (TBL) abnormalities
- Incidence of Major Adverse Cardiac Events MACE) [ Time Frame: 3 months ]MACE is defined as the composite of stroke [ischemic or hemorrhagic], Systemic embolic event (SEE), Myocardial Infarction (MI), Cardiovascular (CV) death, and hospitalization for any cardiac condition
- Effects on Biomarker D-dimer [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Mean (SD) change from baseline in D-dimer
- Effects on Biomarker Prothrombin Fragments [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Mean (SD) change from baseline in Prothrombin Fragments 1 and 2 (F1 and F2)
- Pharmacokinetics (Cmin, Cmax) of DU-176b in Subjects Receiving DU-176b [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Median (min, max) values of Cmin,ss; Cmax,ss
- Pharmacokinetics (AUC) of DU-176b in Subjects Receiving DU-176b [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Median (min, max) values of AUCss
- Effects on Pharmacodynamic Biomarker Anti-Factor Xa Activity in Subjects Receiving DU-176b [ Time Frame: Day 28 ]Mean (SD) change from baseline in biomarker anti-Factor Xa [FXa] activity on Day 28, 1-3 hours post dose.
