Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Terminated

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Determine if apixaban is superior to warfarin in the reduction of clinically relevant bleeding. Determine if rivaroxaban is superior to warfarin in the reduction of clinically relevant bleeding. Determine if apixaban is non-inferior to warfarin in the prevention of recurrent venous thromboembolism. Determine if rivaroxaban is non-inferior to warfarin in the prevention of recurrent venous thromboembolism. An exploratory comparison of apixaban versus rivaroxaban for the prevention of clinically relevant bleeding and recurrent Venous Thromboembolism (VTEs) as a secondary objective.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

3.1 Inclusion Criteria

To be eligible for this trial, patients must meet all of the following criteria:

  • Have confirmed acute, symptomatic, first lower extremity proximal DVT and/or PE that is NOT associated with a transient risk factor.
  • Have completed an initial treatment course of oral anticoagulant therapy for 3-12 months and have a recommendation from their provider to continue anticoagulation indefinitely.
  • Have the capacity to understand and sign an informed consent form.
  • Be 18 years of age and older.
  • Under the direct care of a healthcare provider for treatment of VTE for the length of time in the study.

3.2 Exclusion Criteria

If a patient meets any of the following criteria, he or she may not be enrolled in the study:

  • Creatinine clearance (CrCl) < 30 mL/min as determined by Cockcroft-Gault formula documented within 3 months from date of consent
  • Significant liver disease (Child-Pugh B or C)
  • Concomitant use of medications that are strong P-glycoprotein or CYP3A4 inducers/inhibitors
  • Another indication for chronic therapeutic-dose anticoagulation, such as atrial fibrillation (i.e., rivaroxaban, 10 mg daily, or apixaban, 2.5 mg twice daily, would not be appropriate therapy)
  • A clinical indication for a specific anticoagulant regimen (e.g., warfarin with a target INR of 2-3 is recommended for patients with 'triple-positive' antiphospholipid syndrome).
  • Life expectancy < 3 months
  • Currently pregnant or breast feeding
  • Unable / unwilling to pay for one (or more) of the treatment options
  • Active Cancer defined as:

Diagnosed with cancer within the past 6 months; or Recurrent, regionally advanced or metastatic disease; Currently receiving treatment or have received any treatment for cancer during the 6 months prior to randomization; or A hematologic malignancy not in complete remission

• Unwilling / unlikely to agree to follow up

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
