An early stage study looking at how much betrixaban gets into the blood of young people after they take a single capsule, and to see if it is safe to do so.

Phase 1
Conditions
Pediatric patients who are assessed to be at risk for Venous thromboembolism (VTE) but does not require immediate anticoagulant therapy, for example:a. Has previous thrombosis and completed a course of anti-coagulant therapy, and is considered to have a risk for recurrence of VTE, orb. Has any stable disease with a risk for arterial or venous thrombotic disorder, orc. Has any functional CVAD (Central Venous Access Device) in the upper or lower venous system.
