A Phase 3 Randomized, Double-Blind Active-Controlled (Enoxaparin), Parallel-Group, Multi-Center Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Oral Apixaban in Subjects Undergoing Elective Total Knee Replacement Surgery
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Enoxaparin + Placebo and Apixaban + Placebo for Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism. Completed, enrolled 3,608 participants across 107 sites in 13 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to learn if apixaban can prevent blood clots in the leg (deep vein Thrombosis \[DVT\]) and lung (pulmonary embolism \[PE\]) that sometimes occur after knee replacement surgery and to learn how apixaban compares to enoxaparin (Lovenox®) for preventing these clots. The safety of apixaban will also be studied.
