Clinical Trial Summary

The primary efficacy objective is to evaluate whether dabigatran etexilate is superior to placebo in the long-term prevention of recurrent symptomatic venous thrombo-embolism (VTE) in patients with symptomatic deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) who completed 6 to 18 months of treatment with vitamin K antagonist (VKA).

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Centrally Confirmed Symptomatic Recurrent Venous Thrombotic Events (VTE) Including Unexplained Death During the Intended Treatment Period Symptomatic recurrent VTE is the composite of recurrent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) , fatal or non-fatal pulmonary embolism (PE). Whilst the endpoint is time to event, the measured values present the number of participant with event and the hazard ratio presents the time to event. 6 months No
Secondary Centrally Confirmed Symptomatic Recurrent Venous Thrombotic Events (VTE) Excluding Unexplained Death During the Intended Treatment Period Symptomatic recurrent VTE is the composite of recurrent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) , fatal or non-fatal pulmonary embolism (PE). Whilst the endpoint is time to event, the measured values present the number of participant with event and the hazard ratio presents the time to event. 6 months No
Secondary Centrally Confirmed Symptomatic Recurrent Deep Venous Thrombotic (DVT) Events During the Intended Treatment Period Number of the participants with centrally confirmed symptomatic recurrent deep venous thrombotic (DVT) events during the intended treatment period were described. 6 months No
Secondary Centrally Confirmed Symptomatic Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Events During the Intended Treatment Period Number of participants with centrally confirmed symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE) events during the intended treatment period were described. 6 months No
Secondary Centrally Confirmed Unexplained Deaths During the Intended Treatment Period Number of participants with centrally confirmed unexplained deaths during the intended treatment period were described. 6 months No
Secondary Centrally Confirmed Bleeding Event During the Treatment Period Major bleeding events (MBE) had to fulfil at least 1 of the following criteria:
Fatal bleeding
Associated with a fall in haemoglobin of =2 g/dL
Led to the transfusion of =2 units packed cells or whole blood
Occurred in a critical site: intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular, pericardial, intra-articular, intramuscular with compartment syndrome, retroperitoneal
Other clinically relevant bleeding was defined as overt bleeding not meeting the criteria for an MBE but associated with medical intervention, unscheduled contact with a physician, (temporary) cessation of study treatment, or associated with discomfort such as pain, or impairment of activities of daily life.
Examples of these bleedings were:
Bleeding that compromised haemodynamics
Bleeding that led to hospitalisation
Trivial bleeding events were defined as all other bleeding events that did not fulfil the criteria of MBEs or CRBEs.
All bleeding events include MBEs, CRBEs, and trivial bleeding events.
6 months Yes
Secondary Centrally Confirmed Cardiovascular Events During the Treatment Period Cardiovascular events that occurred during the treatment period + 3 days were summarised by treatment groups. 6 months No
Secondary Laboratory Measures, Especially Liver Function Tests (LFTs) Number of participants with possible clinically significant abnormalities during the treatment period. 6 months No
