Title: A Safety and Efficacy Trial Evaluating the Use of Apixaban for the Extended Treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism
Brief Summary: The purpose is to evaluate the effects of an investigational blood thinner, apixaban, in preventing venous thromboembolic (VTE) recurrence or death in patients who have completed their intended treatment for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE)


Options:
A: Inclusion criteria

1. Acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the leg involving proximal veins, and/or pulmonary embolism (PE) iin patients for whom at least 6 months of anticoagulant therapy is considered appropriate
2. Male or female, being 18 years of age or older
3. Written informed consent for study participation

Exclusion criteria

1. Overt symptoms of VTE for longer than 2 weeks prior to enrolment
2. PE satisfying at least one of the following criteria: Haemodynamic instability, embolectomy is indicated or performed, thrombolytic therapy is indicated or performed, or suspected source of PE is other than the legs
3. Actual or anticipated use of vena cava filter
4. Contraindications to anticoagulant therapy
5. Patients who in the investigators opinion should not be treated with warfarin
6. Allergy to heparins or other alternate approved therapy used for initial treatment, warfarin or dabigatran, or to one of the excipients included in these medications
7. Patients who in the investigators judgement are perceived as having an excessive risk of bleeding
8. Known anaemia
9. Need of anticoagulant treatment for disorders other than VTE
10. Recent unstable cardiovascular disease
11. Elevated AST or ALT \> 2x ULN
