Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban versus fondaparinux in the treatment of superficial vein thrombosis (SVT).

Detailed Description

Evaluation of efficacy and safety of 45 days of rivaroxaban 10 mg vs. fondaparinux 2.5 mg in the treatment of superficial vein thrombosis of risk patients for major VTE complications to prove non-inferiority of oral rivaroxaban treatment

Arms & Interventions

Rivaroxaban

Experimental

Rivaroxaban for 45 days oral dose: 10 mg OD

Intervention: Rivaroxaban (Drug)

Fondaparinux

Active Comparator

Fondaparinux for 45 days subcutaneous application: 2,5 mg OD

Intervention: Fondaparinux (Drug)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Rate of Objectively Confirmed VTE Complications

Time Frame: 45 +/- 5 days

The primary efficacy outcome was the composite of death from any cause, symptomatic pulmonary embolism (confirmed by ventilation-perfusion scanning, helical computed tomography, pulmonary angiography, or autopsy), symptomatic deep vein thrombosis (confirmed by ultrasonography or venography), or symptomatic extension towards the saphenofemoral junction or symptomatic recurrence of superficial vein thrombosis (confirmed by ultrasonography) up to day 45.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Rate of Major VTE(90 +/-10 days)
  • Rates of Surgery for SVT(90 +/-10 days)
  • Composite Primary Efficacy Outcome(90 +/- 10 days)
