A Study of JNJ-70033093 (BMS-986177) Versus Subcutaneous Enoxaparin in Participants Undergoing Elective Total Knee Replacement Surgery

A Randomized, Open-Label, Study Drug-Dose Blind, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of JNJ-70033093 (BMS-986177), an Oral Factor XIa Inhibitor, Versus Subcutaneous Enoxaparin in Subjects Undergoing Elective Total Knee Replacement Surgery

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of JNJ-70033093 in preventing total venous thromboembolism (VTE) events (proximal and/or distal deep vein thrombosis [DVT] [asymptomatic confirmed by venography assessment or objectively confirmed symptomatic], nonfatal pulmonary embolism [PE], or any death) during the treatment period.

JNJ-70033093 is an oral anticoagulant for prevention and treatment of thromboembolic events (for example, VTE) that binds and inhibits activated form of human coagulation Factor XI (FXIa) with high affinity and selectivity. The study will consist of 3 phases: up to 30-day screening phase before total knee replacement (TKR) surgery, 10 to14 day postoperative dosing phase, and 4-week follow-up phase. The hypothesis of this study is JNJ-70033093 reduces risk of total VTE during treatment period. The total duration of participation following randomization will be approximately 6 weeks. Efficacy evaluations include unilateral venography assessment of operated leg and assessments of symptomatic DVT, PE, or death. Safety evaluation includes adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, and physical examinations. The safety and efficacy will be monitored throughout the study.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Medically stable and appropriate for anticoagulant prophylaxis as determined by the investigator on the basis of physical examination, medical history, and vital signs performed as part of screening for elective total knee replacement (TKR) surgery
• Medically stable and appropriate for anticoagulant prophylaxis on the basis of clinical laboratory tests performed as part of local standard-of-care as part of screening for elective TKR surgery
• Has plans to undergo an elective primary unilateral TKR surgery
• A woman must be- a) Not of childbearing potential; b) Of childbearing potential and practicing a highly effective method of contraception (failure rate of less than [<]1 percent [%] per year when used consistently and correctly) and agrees to remain on a highly effective method for the duration of study drug with JNJ-70033093 plus 5 half-lives of study drug plus 30 days (duration of ovulatory cycle) for a total of 34 days after the completion of treatment, pregnancy testing (serum or urine) prior to the first dose of study drug
• Willing and able to adhere to the lifestyle restrictions specified in this protocol

Exclusion Criteria:

• History of any condition for which the use of low molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is not recommended in the opinion of the investigator (for example, previous allergic reaction, creatinine clearance <30 milliliter per minute [mL/minute])
• History of severe hepatic impairment
• Planned bilateral revision or unicompartmental procedure
• Unable to undergo venography (for example, due to contrast agent allergy, poor venous access, or impaired renal function that would increase the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy
• Known previous pulmonary embolism (PE) or deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in either lower extremity
