Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Incidence of Subjects With Venous Thromboembolism Events	The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of subjects who experienced at least one of the thromboembolic events listed below during the period from the start of study treatment to the venography at the end of study treatment.; Lower extremity DVT confirmed by bilateral venography at the end of study treatment; Definite diagnosis of symptomatic PE; Symptomatic DVT confirmed before the venography at the end of study treatment The objectives were to verify the non-inferiority of edoxaban to enoxaparin with regard to prevention of VTE	2 weeks
Secondary	Incidence of Major Bleeding or Clinically Relevant Non-major Bleeding		2 weeks
