Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Patients With Bleeding Events (Major and Minor)From Screening until 30 days after first drug administration (end of trial visit)

Patients were carefully assessed for signs and symptoms of bleeding. Bleeding was to be classified as major or minor. Major bleeding had to satisfy one or more of the following criteria:

Overt bleeding associated with a decrease in haemoglobin of at least 2 g/dL in 24 hours, Overt bleeding requiring a transfusion of red blood cells, Overt bleeding which was retroperitoneal, intracranial, intraocular, or intraarticular, any overt bleeding deemed by the attending physician to require discontinuation of study medication. Minor bleeds were clinical bleeds that did not fulfill the criteria for major bleeds.

Number of Patients With Adverse EventsFrom Screening until 30 days after first drug administration (end of trial visit)

Patients with treatment drug related adverse events (DRAEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) are reported separately for on-treatment and post-treatment period. Events were considered "on-treatment" if occurring within 72 hours after last drug administration.

Plasma Concentration of Free Dabigatran3 days

Plasma concentration of free dabigatran measured at 72 hours after first dose

Plasma Concentration of Total DabigatranDay 3

Plasma concentration of total dabigatran measured at 72 hours after first dose

Thrombin Time (TT) Centrally MeasuredDay 3

Measurement of TT was performed locally and centrally by Hemoclot Thrombin Inhibitor clotting assay.

TT Locally MeasuredDay 3

Measurement of TT was performed locally and centrally by Hemoclot Thrombin Inhibitor clotting assay.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT) Centrally MeasuredDay 3

Measurement of aPTT was performed locally and centrally using validated assays.

aPTT Locally MeasuredDay 3

Measurement of aPTT was performed locally and centrally using validated assays.

Ecarin Clotting Time (ECT)Day 3

Measurement of ECT was performed locally and centrally using validated assays. Descriptive statistics is only performed for the centrally measured ECT.

Patients With Clinically Relevant Changes in Any Laboratory Parameter, Electrocardiogram (ECG) or Vital SignsBaseline and 3 days

Changes in any laboratory parameter, ECG or vital signs were judged clinically relevant by the investigator.

Occurences of Clinical Outcome3 days

Occurrences of clinical outcomes including recurrent venous thrombolic event (VTE), post thrombotic syndrome (PTS), pulmonary emboli (PEs), and total and VTE related mortality objectively assessed for example by ultrasound, venography or computed chromatography (CT) scan (based on the thrombus location). Number of patients with particular clinical outcome are reported.
