Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that rivaroxaban is superior to placebo for reducing the risk of the primary composite outcome as defined by objectively confirmed symptomatic lower extremity proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT), asymptomatic lower extremity proximal DVT, symptomatic lower extremity distal DVT, symptomatic upper extremity DVT, symptomatic non-fatal pulmonary embolism (PE), incidental PE, and venous thromboembolism (VTE)-related death in ambulatory adult participants with various cancer types receiving systemic cancer therapy who are at high risk of developing a VTE.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, superiority study comparing the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban with placebo for primary prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in ambulatory adult participants, with various cancer types who are scheduled to initiate systemic cancer therapy. The study consists of 3 Phases: Screening Phase (14 Days), double-blind treatment Phase (180 Days) and follow up Phase (30 Days). The duration of participation in the study for each participant is approximately 32 weeks.

    Percentage of participants with time to the first occurrence of primary efficacy endpoint (composite and components) was reported. The primary efficacy composite endpoint is time to first occurrence of objectively confirmed symptomatic and asymptomatic lower extremity proximal DVT, symptomatic lower extremity distal DVT, symptomatic upper extremity DVT, symptomatic non-fatal PE, incidental PE, or VTE-related death as adjudicated by an independent blinded Clinical Endpoint Committee (CEC).

  2. Percentage of Participants With Time to the First Occurrence of Major Bleeding Events as Defined by International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) [From first dose of study drug to 2 days after the last dose of the study drug (up to 32 weeks)]

    Major bleeding is defined as clinically overt bleeding that is associated with a reduction in hemoglobin of 2 gram per deciliter (g/dL) or more, or a transfusion of 2 or more units of packed red blood cells or whole blood, or occurrence at a critical site defined as intracranial, intra-spinal, intraocular, pericardial, intra-articular, intra-muscular with compartment syndrome, retroperitoneal, or fatal outcome.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage of Participants With Time to the First Occurrence of Symptomatic VTE Events or VTE-Related Deaths [Up to Day 180]

    Percentage of participants with time to first occurrence of the composite endpoint of symptomatic VTE events (symptomatic lower extremity proximal DVT, symptomatic lower extremity distal DVT, symptomatic upper extremity DVT, or symptomatic non-fatal PE) or VTE related deaths as adjudicated by an independent blinded CEC up-to-Day 180 observation period was reported.

  2. Percentage of Participants With All-Cause Mortality [Up to Day 180]

    Percentage of participants with all-cause mortality as adjudicated by an independent blinded CEC up-to-Day 180 observation period was reported. Overall deaths occurred during observation period (defined by start to end date of the observation period [that is approximately 180 days] are reported here.

  3. Percentage of Participants With Time to the First Occurrence of Fatal or Non-fatal Arterial Thromboembolic Events (ATE) [Up to Day 180]

    Percentage of participants with time to first occurrence of fatal/non-fatal ATE (a composite of occurrence of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke [ischemic infarction with or without hemorrhagic conversion or primary hemorrhagic events - intraparenchymal hemorrhage, subdural hematoma or epidural hematoma] or any other ATE recorded) event as adjudicated by an independent blinded CEC up-to-Day 180 observation period was reported.

  4. Percentage of Participants With Time to the First Occurrence of Fatal or Non-fatal Visceral VTE [Up to Day 180]

    Percentage of participants with time to the first occurrence of fatal or non-fatal visceral VTE as adjudicated by an independent blinded CEC up-to-Day 180 observation period was reported.
