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

Phase 2

Completed

Conditions: Arthroplasty, Replacement, Knee

Interventions: Drug: JNJ-70033093 200 mg
Drug: JNJ-70033093 50 mg
Drug: JNJ-70033093 25 mg
Drug: JNJ-70033093 100 mg
Drug: Enoxaparin 40 mg
Drug: Placebo

Registration Number: NCT03891524

Lead Sponsor: Janssen Research & Development, LLC

Brief Summary: 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.

Detailed Description: 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.

Trend Test for Primary Efficacy Event Rate (CEC Adjudicated) by Multiple Comparison Procedure - Modelling (MCP-Mod) Approach	Up to 14 days	The dose-response trend test based on the MCP-Mod framework consisted of contrast tests defined by prespecified candidate models (4 Emax dose-response models with varying degrees of ED50). Each model was evaluated for significance of trend, based on its optimal contrast, resulting in four t-test statistics, one for each candidate model. The t-test statistics were adjusted for the fact that 4 candidate models were included in the trend testing. The dose response of the drug was then established if the maximum of the t-test statistics exceeded the 95th percentile critical value. Here 'number' signifies the estimated response rate.
