All suspected recurrent VTEs and all deaths and bleeding events were evaluated by an independent central adjudication committee, and all analyses are based on the events that were centrally confirmed by this committee.

Full analysis set (FAS): consisted of all randomised patients who were documented to have taken at least one dose of study drug. Patients were assigned to the treatment groups as randomised, i.e. regardless of the actual medication taken.

VTE or any death which occured from randomisation to end of ptp. All suspected recurrent VTEs and all deaths and bleeding events were evaluated by an independent central adjudication committee, and all analyses are based on the events that were centrally confirmed by this committee.

FAS

Symptomatic DVT which occured from randomisation to end of ptp. All suspected recurrent VTEs and all deaths and bleeding events were evaluated by an independent central adjudication committee, and all analyses are based on the events that were centrally confirmed by this committee.

FAS

Symptomatic non-fatal PE which occured from randomisation to end of ptp. All suspected recurrent VTEs and all deaths and bleeding events were evaluated by an independent central adjudication committee, and all analyses are based on the events that were centrally confirmed by this committee.

FAS

VTE - related deaths which occured from randomisation to end of ptp. All suspected recurrent VTEs and all deaths and bleeding events were evaluated by an independent central adjudication committee, and all analyses are based on the events that were centrally confirmed by this committee. Hazard ratios and 95% CI were not calculated because of insufficient number of events.

FAS

Any deaths which occured from randomisation to end of ptp. All suspected recurrent VTEs and all deaths and bleeding events were evaluated by an independent central adjudication committee, and all analyses are based on the events that were centrally confirmed by this committee.

FAS

Symptomatic fatal and non-fatal PE which occured from randomisation to end of ptp. All suspected recurrent VTEs and all deaths and bleeding events were evaluated by an independent central adjudication committee, and all analyses are based on the events that were centrally confirmed by this committee.

FAS

Major bleeding events (MBE) are defined as

• Fatal bleeding
• Symptomatic bleeding in a critical area or organ
• Bleeding causing a fall in haemoglobin level of 20 g/L (1.24 mmol/L) or more, or leading to transfusion of 2 or more units of whole blood or red cells

Clinically-relevant bleeding events (CRBE) are defined as

• spontaneous skin hematoma >=25 cm²
• wound hematoma >=100 cm²
• spontaneous nose bleed >5 min
• macroscopic hematuria spontaneous or >24 hours if associated with an intervention
• spontaneous rectal bleeding
• gingival bleeding >5 min
• leading to hospitalisation and / or requiring surgical treatment
• leading to a transfusion of <2 units of whole blood or red cells
• any other bleeding event considered clinically relevant by the investigator

Any bleeding events were defined as major, clinically-relevant and nuisance bleeding events. Nuisance bleeding events were defined as all other bleeding events that did not fulfil the criteria from above.

Treated set (TS): consisted of all randomised patients who were documented to have taken at least one dose of study drug. Patients were assigned to the treatment groups as treated.

Any ACS occurring during the conduct of the study (centrally adjudicated as definite). Patients having a centrally adjudicated definite ACS during intake of study drug and after stopping study drug, according to treatment group. ACS assessments pre-specified in the protocol without adjudication. Prior to database lock, the steering committee asked to have ACS events adjudicated by an independent committee. After database lock, the committee was provided with source documentation that was blinded to the patient's treatment assignment. ACS results presented are based on adjudication findings.

TS

Frequency of patients with possible clinically significant abnormalities.
