Reduced-dosed rivaroxaban and standard-dosed rivaroxaban versus ASA in the longterm prevention of recurrent symptomatic venous thromboembolism in patients with symptomatic deep-vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism
The Einstein Choice Study
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active-comparator, event-driven study. Patients with confirmed symptomatic DVT and/or PE who completed 6 to 12 months (± 1 month) of anticoagulant treatment and did not interrupt anticoagulation for longer than 1 week are eligible for this trial.

Interventional
Rivaroxaban
Rivaroxaban is an oral, highly selective direct factor Xa inhibitor. Inhibition of factor Xa interrupts the intrinsic and extrinsic pathway of the blood coagulation cascade, inhibiting both thrombin formation and development of thrombi. Rivaroxaban is widely approved in adults for the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) following elective hip or knee replacement surgery, for treatment and secondary prevention of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), for the primary and secondary prevention of stroke and systemic non-central nervous system (CNS) embolism in non-valvular atrial fibrillation, and for the prevention of atherothrombotic events after an acute coronary syndrome.

Randomized
Double Blind
double-dummy, active-comparator, event-driven study
Parallel
1. The primary efficacy objective is to evaluate whether rivaroxaban, in doses of 10 mg or 20 mg, is superior to acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) 100 mg in the prevention of the primary efficacy outcome (i.e. fatal or non-fatal symptomatic recurrent venous thromboembolism).
2. The secondary efficacy objective is to evaluate whether rivaroxaban 10 mg and rivaroxaban 20 mg are superior to ASA 100 mg in the prevention of the secondary efficacy outcome (i.e. fatal or non-fatal symptomatic recurrent venous thromboembolism, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke,
systemic non-central nervous system [CNS] embolism).
3. The principal safety objective is to document the incidence of the principal safety outcome (i.e. major bleeding).
4. The secondary safety objective is to document the incidence of the secondary safety outcome (i.e. clinically relevant non-major bleeding).
5. Additional study objectives are to evaluate
a. the composite of non-fatal symptomatic venous thromboembolism and all-cause mortality
b. the composite of major bleeding and recurrent venous thromboembolism
c. the composite of major bleeding, recurrent venous thromboembolism, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke
and systemic non-CNS embolism
