(LMW) heparin/edoxaban will be non-inferior to (LMW) heparin/warfarin in preventing recurrence of acute, symptomatic VTE following initial index event. (LMW) Heparin/edoxaban was considered non-inferior to the standard therapy ([LMW] heparin/warfarin) if the upper limit of the two-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) for the Hazard Ratio ([LMW] heparin/edoxaban to standard therapy) was less than 1.5. Events included in Overall study period if occurred on or after randomization date up to Day 365.

Time to 1st event analyzed by Cox proportional hazards with terms treatment group, randomization stratification factors: Presenting Diagnosis (PE with/without DVT, DVT only); Baseline risk factors (temp factors; all others); Need for reduced dose
