Overview
Brief Summary
The general aim of this study is to determine the comparative safety and efficacy of dabigatran etexilate 150 mg bid administered orally and warfarin Pro re nata (As needed/PRN) to maintain an International Normalised Ratio (INR) of 2.0-3.0 for 6 month treatment of acute symptomatic VTE.
The primary objective is to investigate the efficacy of dabigatran compared to warfarin during the 6 month treatment period. The investigation of other selected efficacy aspects and safety are regarded as secondary objective of this trial.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Participants With Recurrent Symptomatic Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) and Deaths Related to VTE
Time Frame: For statistical analysis 1: from randomisation to end of post treatment period (ptp), planned to be up to day 224. For statistical analysis 2: from randomisation to 6 months (up to day 180)
All suspected recurrent VTEs and all deaths and bleeding events were evaluated by an independent central adjudication committee, and all analyses are based on the events that were centrally confirmed by this committee.
Secondary Outcomes
- Number of Participants With Recurrent Symptomatic VTE and All Deaths(For statistical analysis 1: from randomisation to 6 months (up to day 180) For statistical analysis 2: from randomisation to end of ptp, planned to be up to day 224.)
- Number of Participants With Recurrent Symptomatic DVT(For statistical analysis 1: from randomisation to 6 months (up to day 180) For statistical analysis 2: from randomisation to end of ptp, planned to be up to day 224.)
- Number of Participants With Recurrent Symptomatic Non-fatal PE(For statistical analysis 1: from randomisation to 6 months (up to day 180). For statistical analysis 2: from randomisation to end of ptp, planned to be up to day 224.)
- Number of Participants Who Died Due to VTE(From randomisation to 6 months (up to day 180) and to end of ptp (planned to be up to day 224))
- Number of Participants Who Died (Any Cause)(For statistical analysis 1: from randomisation to 6 months (up to day 180) For statistical analysis 2: from randomisation to end of ptp, planned to be up to day 224.)
- Number of Participants With Recurrent Symptomatic Fatal and Non-fatal PE(For statistical analysis 1: from randomisation to 6 months (up to day 180). For statistical analysis 2: from randomisation to end of ptp, planned to be up to day 224.)
- Number of Participants With MBE, MBE and/or CRBE, and Any Bleeding Events(From first intake of study drug to last intake of study drug + 6 days washout)
