Cancer Venous Thromboembolism (VTE)
The primary objective is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of edoxaban (preceded by a short course of LMWH) compared with dalteparin for the prevention of the combined outcome of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) or major bleeding in subjects with VTE associated with cancer during a 12-month study period. If non-inferiority is established, LMWH/edoxaban will be compared with dalteparin for superiority.

- Male or female subjects with age ≥ 18 years or the otherwise legal lower age according to the country of residence;
- Confirmed acute lower extremity proximal DVT or PE for which long term treatment with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is indicated;
- Cancer, other than basal-cell or squamous-cell carcinoma of the skin;
- Able to provide written informed consent.
- Thrombectomy, insertion of a caval filter, or use of a fibrinolytic agent to treat the current (index) episode of DVT and/or PE;
- Treatment with therapeutic doses of an anticoagulant other than that used for pretreatment of the current (index) VTE episode prior to randomization;
- Active bleeding or high risk for bleeding contraindicating treatment with LMWH or edoxaban;
- Any other contraindication listed in the local labeling of dalteparin, enoxaparin, or edoxaban;
Important: This is the sponsor’s public criteria, not a determination of eligibility. The study team must review your individual situation.
