Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Heart Failure Respiratory Insufficiency Stroke Acute Infectious Diseases Rheumatic Diseases | Drug: Rivaroxaban, 10 mg Drug: Rivaroxaban, 7.5 mg Drug: Placebo | Phase 3 |
This is a randomized (the study medication is assigned by chance), double-blind (neither physician nor participant knows the identity of the assigned treatment), placebo (an inactive substance that is compared with a drug to test whether the drug has a real effect)-controlled, event-driven, multicenter study in patients who are hospitalized for a specific acute medical illness and have other risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE). The study is designed to evaluate rivaroxaban in the prevention of symptomatic VTE events and VTE-related deaths for a period of 45 days post-hospital discharge.
The study will consist of a screening phase, a 45-day double-blind treatment phase, and a 30-day follow-up phase. Study drug will start at randomization (Day 1), and will continue until Day 45 (inclusive). A total of approximately 8,000 patients will be randomly assigned to either rivaroxaban or placebo in a 1:1 ratio. The total duration for a patient who completes the study after randomization is expected to be 75 days.

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Rivaroxaban
Each patient will receive either 10 mg or 7.5 mg rivaroxaban tablet once daily orally (by mouth) for 45 days. The dosing will depend on a creatinine clearance at screening.
|
Drug: Rivaroxaban, 10 mg
Patients, randomly allocated to the rivaroxaban arm, with a creatinine clearance at screening >= 50 mL/min will receive 10 mg rivaroxaban tablet with or without food.
Other Name: Xarelto, BAY59-7939
Drug: Rivaroxaban, 7.5 mg
Patients, randomly allocated to the rivaroxaban arm, with a creatinine clearance at screening from 30 to 49 mL/min will receive 7.5 mg rivaroxaban tablet with or without food.
Other Name: Xarelto, BAY59-7939
|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Each patient will receive matching placebo tablet once daily orally (by mouth) for 45 days.
|
Drug: Placebo
All patients, randomly allocated to the placebo arm, will receive one placebo tablet with or without food.

- Time from randomization to the first occurrence of symptomatic venous thromboembolism event (VTE) and VTE-related death [ Time Frame: From Day 1 up to Day 45 ]Symptomatic VTE will include lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and non-fatal pulmonary embolism (PE).
- Time from randomization to the first occurrence of major bleeding [ Time Frame: From Day 1 up to Day 45 ]Major bleeding will be defined using validated International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) bleeding criteria.
- Time from randomization to an occurrence of VTE-related death [ Time Frame: From Day 1 up to Day 45 ]
- Time from randomization to the first occurrence of a symptomatic VTE [ Time Frame: From Day 1 up to Day 45 ]Symptomatic VTE will include lower extremity DVT and non-fatal PE.
- Time from randomization to the first occurrence of a composite of symptomatic VTE and all-cause mortality (ACM) [ Time Frame: From Day 1 up to Day 45 ]
- Time from randomization to an occurrence of ACM [ Time Frame: From Day 1 up to Day 45 ]
- Time from randomization to an occurrence of myocardial infarction [ Time Frame: From Day 1 up to Day 45 ]
- Time from randomization to an occurrence of non-hemorrhagic stroke [ Time Frame: From Day 1 up to Day 45 ]
- Time from randomization to an occurrence of cardiovascular death [ Time Frame: From Day 1 up to Day 45 ]
- Change in blood plasma concentration of rivaroxaban [ Time Frame: Day 7, Day 21 ]At selected sites, blood samples will be collected for pharmacokinetic analysis.
