E.1.3

Condition being studied is a rare disease

E.2 Objective of the trial

E.2.1

Main objective of the trial

The primary efficacy objective is to evaluate whether rivaroxaban, in doses of 10 mg or 20 mg, is superior to acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) 100 mg in the prevention of the primary efficacy outcome (i.e. fatal or non-fatal symptomatic recurrent venous thromboembolism).

The principal safety objective is to document the incidence of the principal safety outcome (i.e. major bleeding).

E.2.2

Secondary objectives of the trial

The secondary efficacy objective is to evaluate whether rivaroxaban 10 mg and rivaroxaban 20 mg are superior to ASA 100 mg in the prevention of the secondary efficacy outcome (i.e. fatal or non-fatal symptomatic recurrent venous thromboembolism, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, systemic non-central nervous system [CNS] embolism).

The secondary safety objective is to document the incidence of the secondary safety outcome (i.e. clinically relevant non-major bleeding).

E.2.3

Trial contains a sub-study

E.3

Principal inclusion criteria

1. Patients with confirmed symptomatic PE and/or DVT who have been treated for 6 to 12 months and did not interrupt anticoagulation for longer than 1 week.
2. Written informed consent

E.4

Principal exclusion criteria

1. Legal lower age limitations (country specific)
2. Indication for therapeutic-dosed anticoagulants
3. Hypersensitivity to investigational or comparator treatment
4. Any other contraindication listed in the local labeling for investigational or comparator treatment
5. Indication for antiplatelet therapy or a conventional non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)
6. Hepatic disease which is associated with coagulopathy leading to a clinically relevant bleeding risk
7. Calculated creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min
8. Active bleeding or high risk for bleeding contraindicating anticoagulant therapy
9. Life expectancy <6 months
10. Concomitant use of strong inhibitors of both cytochrome P450 isoenzyme 3A4 (CYP3A4) and P-glycoprotein (P-gp), i.e. all human immunodeficiency virus protease inhibitors and the following azole-antimycotics agents: ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole, if used systemically
11. Childbearing potential without proper contraceptive measures, pregnancy or breast feeding
12. Participation in a study with an investigational drug or medical device within 30 days prior to randomization

E.5 End points

E.5.1

Primary end point(s)

Fatal or non-fatal symptomatic recurrent venous thromboembolism

E.5.1.1

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point

Composite efficacy outcomes will be analyzed based on time to first event in the intended 12-month treatment period, using a stratified (for index DVT only and index PE± DVT) Cox proportional hazard model in the full analysis set (FAS). Adjudication results will be the basis for the final analyses.
The primary efficacy analysis will use a hierarchical (fixed sequence) testing procedure for testing superiority of the individual rivaroxaban doses vs. ASA.

E.5.2

Secondary end point(s)

fatal or non-fatal symptomatic recurrent venous thromboembolism,
myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, systemic non-central nervous system [CNS] embolism

E.5.2.1

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point

The secondary composite outcome will be analyzed with Cox regression and with log rank test as described for the primary efficacy analysis.
