Edoxaban for Prevention of Blood Vessels Being Blocked by Clots (Thrombotic Events) in Children at Risk Because of Cardiac Disease

Cardiac Disease Clinical Trial

Official title: An Open-label, Randomised, Parallel-group, Multicentre, Observational Trial to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of Edoxaban Tosylate in Children From 38 Weeks Gestational Age to Less Than 18 Years of Age With Cardiac Diseases at Risk of Thromboembolic Events

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

A committee will judge the safety and effectiveness of edoxaban and the regular treatment (standard of care). All children in the study will receive free treatment. They will have a 2 in 3 chance to receive edoxaban, and a 1 in 3 chance to receive the standard of care for preventing blood clots. The study will find out if edoxaban is safer and more effective than the standard of care.

Clinical Trial Description

The primary objective is to compare the safety of edoxaban with the standard of care (SOC) in pediatric subjects with cardiac diseases at risk of thromboembolic complications who need primary or secondary anticoagulant prophylaxis with regard to the combination of major and clinically relevant non-major (CRNM) bleeding per International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis [ISTH] definition. The key secondary objective is to compare the efficacy of edoxaban against SOC with regard to the development of symptomatic thromboembolic events (TE) in the systemic arterial or venous pathways including deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), stroke, intracardiac thrombus and myocardial infarction (MI), and asymptomatic intracardiac thrombus identified by cardiac imaging. ;
