Overview
There are several ongoing studies on future therapies for the treatment and prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The APEX study is a multicenter, randomized, active-controlled efficacy and safety study comparing extended duration betrixaban with standard of care enoxaparin for the prevention of VTE in acute medically ill patients. MARINER is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, event-driven, multicenter study in patients who are hospitalized for a specific acute medical illness and have other risk factors for VTE that aims to evaluate rivaroxaban in the prevention of symptomatic VTE events and VTE-related deaths for a period of 45 days post-hospital discharge.
