Negative serum or urine pregnancy test done =< 7 days prior to registration, for women of childbearing potential only;
- Note: a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) is defined as any female who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone surgical sterilization (hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy) and is not postmenopausal; menopause is defined as 12 months of amenorrhea in a woman over age 45 years in the absence of other biological or physiological causes
- Ability to provide informed written consent

- Males who are sexually active with WOCBP must agree to follow instructions for method(s) of contraception for the duration of treatment with study drug (s) plus 93 days after finishing the last dose
Azoospermic males and WOCBP who are continuously not heterosexually active are exempt from contraceptive requirements; however they must still undergo pregnancy testing as described in this section; note: investigators shall counsel WOCBP and male subjects who are sexually active with WOCBP on the importance of pregnancy prevention and the implications of an unexpected pregnancy; investigators shall advise WOCBP and male subjects who are sexually active with WOCBP on the use of highly effective methods of contraception; highly effective methods of contraception have a failure rate of < 1% when used consistently and correctly; at a minimum, subjects must agree to the use of one method of highly effective contraception as listed below:
- Male condoms with spermicide
- Hormonal methods of contraception including combined oral contraceptive pills, vaginal ring, injectables, implants and intrauterine devices (IUDs) such as Mirena by WOCBP subject or male subject's WOCBP partner
- Female partners of male subjects participating in the study may use hormone based contraceptives as one of the acceptable methods of contraception
- IUDs, such as ParaGard
- Tubal ligation
- Vasectomy

- Complete abstinence is defined as complete avoidance of heterosexual intercourse and is an acceptable form of contraception for all study drugs; acceptable alternate methods of highly effective contraception must be discussed in the event that the subject chooses to forego complete abstinence
- Active major bleeding
- Severe hypersensitivity reaction to apixaban (e.g., anaphylactic reactions)
Current use of strong CYP3A4 inducers or inhibitors
- NOTE: patients may be eligible if they transition to an alternative agent or are able to stop CYP3A4 inducer or inhibitor
- Current use of thienopyridine therapy (clopidogrel, prasugrel, or ticagrelor) that will be continued on study
- Severe liver disease (known cirrhosis Childs Pugh class B or C), or active hepatitis
- Documented venous thromboembolism while on therapeutic anticoagulation ("anticoagulation failure")
- Mechanical heart valve
- Documented hemorrhagic tendencies (e.g., hemophilia)
- Bacterial endocarditis
Any of the following conditions:
- Intracranial bleeding =< 6 months prior to randomization
- Intraocular bleeding =< 6 months prior to randomization
- Gastrointestinal bleeding and/or endoscopically proven ulcer =< 6 months prior to randomization
- Head trauma or major trauma =< 1 month prior to randomization

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
CIF of Major or Clinically Relevant Non-major Bleeding Combined With Death as Competing Risk
Time Frame: 12 months
|
Incidence of major bleeding and clinically relevant non-major bleeding will be estimated using the cumulative incidence function (CIF) with death without major bleeding or clinically relevant non-major bleeding and with adverse events that results in termination of treatment (including vascular events) as competing risks.
The time to event is defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of a major bleeding, a clinically relevant non-major bleeding, death without major bleeding or clinically relevant non-major bleeding, or an adverse event that results in termination of treatment.
Patients who were lost to follow-up, who withdrew informed consent before the end of the predefined study duration will be censored at the last day the patient had a complete assessment for study outcomes within the intended study period.
The difference in the incidences of the combined endpoint at 12 months between treatment arms will be estimated along with a 95% confidence interval

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Proportion of Patients Who Experienced at Least One Bleeding Event
Time Frame: 6 months
|
Incidence of major bleeding and clinically relevant non-major bleeding will be estimated using the cumulative incidence function (CIF) with death without major bleeding or clinically relevant non-major bleeding and with adverse events that results in termination of treatment (including vascular events) as competing risks.
The time to event is defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of a major bleeding, a clinically relevant non-major bleeding, death without major bleeding or clinically relevant non-major bleeding, or an adverse event that results in termination of treatment.
Patients who were lost to follow-up, who withdrew informed consent before the end of the predefined study duration will be censored at the last day the patient had a complete assessment for study outcomes within the intended study period.
The difference in the incidences of the combined endpoint at 6 months between treatment arms will be estimated along with a 95% confidence interval.

Cumulative Incidence Function of DVT/PE Treating Death or AE Resulting in End of Treatment as Competing Risk by Study Arm
Time Frame: 12 months
|
For the secondary outcome analysis, the time from starting treatment to the first event of the composite deep vein thrombosis (DVT)/pulmonary embolism (PE) outcome will be analyzed using the same method described in the section for primary outcome plan.
For this outcome, death without DVT/PE and adverse events leading to termination of treatment will be treated as the competing risks.
