| E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No | 
| E.2 Objective of the trial | 
| E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial | 
| The primary efficacy objective is to evaluate whether rivaroxaban is superior to placebo in the long-term prevention of recurrent symptomatic venous thromboembolism
 (VTE) in patients with symptomatic deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) or
 pulmonary embolism (PE) who completed 6 or 12 months of treatment with vitamin
 K antagonist (VKA) or rivaroxaban.

| E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No | 
| E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria | 
| 1. Patients with confirmed symptomatic PE or DVT who have been treated for 6 or 12 months with VKA (either warfarin or acenocoumarol ) or rivaroxaban
 2. Written informed consent
 |  | 
| E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria | 
| 1. Legal lower age limitations (country specific) 2. Indication for VKA other than DVT and/or PE
 3. Patients in whom anticoagulant treatment for their index PE or DVT should be
 continued
 4. Significant liver disease (e.g. acute hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis)
 or ALAT > 3 x ULN
 5. Creatinine clearance < 30 ml/min
 6. Bacterial endocarditis
 7. Active bleeding or high risk for bleeding.
 8. Systolic blood pressure >180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >110 mmHg
 9. Childbearing potential without proper contraceptive measures, pregnancy or
 breast feeding
 10. Participation in another pharmacotherapeutic study other than the Einstein VTE
 program (rivaroxaban/11702) within the prior 30 days
 11. Life expectancy <3 months
 12. Concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., HIV protease inhibitors,
 systemic ketoconazole) or strong CYP 3A4 inducers like rifampicin

| E.5 End points | 
| E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
