Title: Randomized, Open-label (Double Blind Among Rivaroxaban Groups in the Initial 3 Weeks), Parallel-group, Active-controlled Study of Rivaroxaban in Patients With Acute Symptomatic Deep Vein Thrombosis Without Symptomatic Pulmonary Embolism
Brief Summary: The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of two different dosages of rivaroxaban in the treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and the prevention of the occurrence and the recurrence of DVT or pulmonary embolism (PE) in Japanese patients with acute symptomatic DVT without symptomatic PE.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Men and women \>/= 20 years of age in patients with confirmed acute symptomatic proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) without symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Thrombectomy, insertion of a caval filter, or use of a fibrinolytic agent to treat the current episode of DVT
* More than 48 hours pre-randomization treatment with therapeutic dosages of anti-coagulant treatment or more than a single dose of warfarin from the onset of the current episode of DVT to randomization
* Calculated creatinine clearance (CLCR) \< 30 mL/min
* Subjects with hepatic disease which is associated with coagulopathy leading to a clinically relevant bleeding risk
* Active bleeding or high risk for bleeding contraindicating treatment with unfractioned Heparin (UFH) or warfarin
* Systolic blood pressure \> 180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \> 110 mmHg
B: 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
12. Liver disease expected to have any potential impact on survival
13. Patients who have developed transaminase elevations upon exposure to ximelagatran
14. Severe renal impairment
15. Women who are pregnant, nursing, or of childbearing potential who refuse to use a medically acceptable form of contraception
16. Participation in another clinical trial with an investigational drug during the last 30 days or previous participation in this study
17. Patients considered unsuitable for inclusion by the investigator
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Confirmed acute symptomatic proximal PE with or without symptomatic DVT

Exclusion Criteria:

* Legal lower age limitations (country specific)
* Thrombectomy, insertion of a caval filter, or use of a fibrinolytic agent to treat the current episode of DVT and/or PE
* Other indication for VKA than DVT and/or PE
* The pre-randomization anti-coagulant treatment (Criteria # 4) has been prolonged from 36 hours to a maximum of 48 hours.
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Male or female subjects older than the minimum legal adult age (country specific);
* Acute symptomatic proximal DVT and/or symptomatic PE confirmed at the site by appropriate diagnostic imaging;
* Able to provide written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

* thrombectomy, insertion of a caval filter, or use of a fibrinolytic agent to treat the current episode of DVT and/or PE;
* More than 48 hours pre-treatment with anticoagulant therapy prior to randomization;
* Calculated Creatinine clearance (CrCL) \< 30 mL/min;
* significant liver disease (e.g., acute hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis) or alanine transaminase (ALT) \>\\= 2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), or total bilirubin (TBL) x 1.5 times the ULN;
* patients with active cancer for whom long term treatment with (LMW) heparin is anticipated;
* active bleeding or high risk for bleeding contraindicating treatment with (LMW) heparin or warfarin;
* chronic treatment with non-aspirin non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs);
* treatment with aspirin in a dosage of more than 100 mg/per day or dual antiplatelet therapy;
* concurrent treatment with potent P-gp inhibitors;
* subjects with any condition that, as judged by the investigator, would place the subject at increased risk of harm if he/she participated in the study
