Clinical Trial Summary

The main purpose of this study is to determine if an investigational medication called SelK2 works in preventing a condition called "venous thromboembolism" (VTE) in patients having a total knee replacement. SelK2 has been designed to attach to a protein found on blood cells and blood vessels. By attaching to this protein, SelK2 is designed to decrease the inflammatory process in the blood vessel wall that leads to the formation of blood clots in the vessel (called thrombosis). By decreasing the inflammatory process, SelK2 may reduce the risk of VTE following joint replacement surgery. In addition, because SelK2 is not a blood thinner, it is expected that the risk for bleeding will also be reduced.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percentage of Participants With Total Venous Thromboembolism	The primary efficacy endpoint was incidence of total VTE (reported as a percentage of patients) during the Treatment Phase up to venography day (10 ± 2 days after total knee replacement). All efficacy endpoint data was adjudicated by the blinded Central Independent Adjudication Committee (CIAC).	10 ± 2 Days After Total Knee Replacement
Primary	Percentage of Participants With Major or Clinically Relevant Non-major Bleeding Events	All suspected bleeding events were reviewed by the Central Independent Adjudication Committee (CIAC) in a blinded fashion and were adjudicated for categorization as Major Bleeding (MB), Clinically Relevant Non-Major Bleeding (CRNMB), Minor Bleeding, or combination of MB and CRNMB. The outcome measure assessed the incidence of MB or CRNMB.	10 ± 2 Days After Total Knee Replacement
