PROTOCOL SUMMARY 
Background and Rationale: 
The results of both the AMPLIFY and AMPLIFY-EXT trials show that apixaban is a safe 
and efficacious alternative to current standards of care without the need for parenteral 
administration or monitoring. Currently there are three main classes of anticoagulants used 
for the treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE), which are well established and 
approved in adults, but are not approved for use in children: Vitamin K Antagonists (VKA) 
(eg, warfarin), unfractionated heparin (UFH), and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), 
with the exception of one LMWH, FRAGMIN® (dalteparin sodium) injection.31 Through 
extrapolation of the adult data, physicians are using these anticoagulants in children. The 
recommended therapeutic international normalized ratio (INR) ranges for VKA in children 
are directly extrapolated from recommendations for adult patients because there are no 
clinical trials that have assessed the optimal INR range for children. Thus, for most 
indications, the therapeutic target INR is 2.5 (range, 2.0-3.0). The unfractionated heparin 
(UFH) dose is selected based on activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) therapeutic 
ranges universally determined using plasma: aPTT by protamine titration of 0.2 to 
0.4 units/mL or an anti-Factor Xa (FXa) level of 0.35 to 0.7 units/mL. Therapeutic ranges 
for low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) are extrapolated from adults and based on 
anti-factor Xa (anti-FXa) levels. The guideline for therapeutic LMWHs being given 
subcutaneously twice daily is an anti-FXa level of 0.50 to 1.0 units/mL in a sample taken 4 to 
6 hours following a subcutaneous injection. Using the same concept of extrapolation, this 
study will extrapolate efficacy based on achievement of exposure in children ≥28 days of age 
similar to that with the AMPLIFY regimen of 10 mg twice daily for the first 7 days and then 
5 mg twice daily thereafter in adults. For the study’s pharmacokinetic (PK) neonate cohort, 
subjects ≤27 days of age, who will have been treated with standard of care therapies for 5 to 
14 days prior to randomization, the dose will be targeted to achieve an exposure similar to 
5 mg twice daily in adults. For the study’s post-PK neonate cohort (ie, those neonates 
recruited after the PK sub-analysis is completed), which may be treated with standard of care 
therapies for up to 14 days prior to randomization, the dose will be targeted to achieve an 
exposure similar to 10 mg twice daily in adults for the first week, and 5 mg twice daily 
thereafter. 
Study Objectives: 
• Primary: To assess the safety and descriptive efficacy of apixaban in pediatric 
subjects requiring anticoagulation for the treatment of a VTE; 
• Secondary: To evaluate apixaban pharmacokinetic (PK) and anti-FXa activity in 
pediatric subjects requiring anticoagulation for the treatment of a VTE. 
Study Endpoints: 
• Primary Safety: The composite of major and clinically relevant non-major bleeding;

• Primary Efficacy: A composite of: (i) all image-confirmed and adjudicated 
symptomatic and asymptomatic recurrent VTE defined as either contiguous 
progression or non-contiguous new thrombus and including, but not limited to, DVT, 
PE and paradoxical embolism and (ii) VTE-related mortality. 
Study Design: 
Treatment assignment will not be blinded. Up to 250 subjects will be randomized into the 
trial using a ratio of 2 to 1 to apixaban or standard of care (SOC), respectively. A goal of 
30 or more subjects will be randomized into each of the following 3 age groups to be used for 
analysis: (1) 12 to <18 years; (2) 2 to <12 years; (3) 28 days to <2 years; For age group 4, 
neonates (birth to ≤27 days), the sample size may be adjusted based on a PK sub-analysis 
that will be performed using initial neonatal data to confirm an apixaban fixed dosing 
regimen for neonates as described in a separate analysis plan. The number of neonates on 
apixaban will not exceed 20 subjects. 
Subjects 28 days of age or older may receive up to 14 days of standard anticoagulant 
treatment prior to randomization. Subjects will be monitored for laboratory safety 
parameters. Pre- and post-dose blood samples for peak and trough apixaban concentrations 
(PK) and anti-FXa activity levels (Pharmacodynamic, PD) will be obtained. 
Radiologic imaging will be performed, and adjudicated, to confirm the index event 
(ie, primary diagnosis of thromboembolic event which will be treated with apixaban or SOC 
in this study). For subjects 2 years of age or older, in addition to the radiologic images 
obtained to confirm the index event, new radiologic images of the clot will be obtained at 
approximately the mid-point and end of treatment (EOT) visits. For subjects 28 days to 
<2 years of age and neonates (birth to ≤27 days of age) imaging should be performed at the 
EOT. All of the aforementioned images will be adjudicated. Additional imaging 
assessments can be performed at any time during the study, at the discretion of the 
investigator. In addition, when medically appropriate, new radiologic images will be 
obtained if recurrent VTE is suspected. 
The palatability of the apixaban 0.5 mg tablet and 0.1 mg sprinkle capsule will also be 
assessed. 
Study Treatment: 
Subjects 2 years of age or older, randomized to the apixaban arm will receive open-label 
apixaban for 12 weeks. Subjects less than 2 years of age may receive open-label apixaban 
for 6 to 12 weeks as the Investigator deems is appropriate. For this population the duration 
of treatment is consistent with the recommendation of 2012 American College of Chest 
Physicians (ACCP) pediatric guidelines, 2018 American Society of Hematology (ASH) 
pediatric guidelines, and clinical experience and recommendation.22,23 Enrollment will start 
with the oldest age group, and as pharmacokinetic (PK) data are obtained for the younger age 
groups in the single dose CV185118 PK study, the PK modeling and simulation results will 
be updated and used to support dosing recommendations for the younger age groups. An

approved amended protocol will be implemented prior to enrollment of each subsequent age 
group and the dose rationale will be described in an appendix. 
The modeling and simulation results, described in Appendix 3 and Appendix 4, support the 
current dosing recommendation of fixed-dose body weight-tiered regimen for pediatric 
subjects aged 28 days to <18 years (Age Groups 1, 2, 3 in Table 1). As of May 2019, 
enrollment to Age Groups 1 and 2 was completed, and as of December 2020 enrollment to 
age group 3 was completed. This protocol amendment continues enrollment to the youngest 
age group, Group 4 (neonates, birth to ≤27 days). The age groups used for analysis will 
remain as Age Group 1: 12 to <18 years; Age Group 2: 2 to <12 years; Age Group 3: 28 days 
to <2 years; Age Group 4: neonates (birth to ≤27 days). Appendix 4 describes additional 
analyses performed to select doses in subjects 28 day to 3 months and complements 
Appendix 3. Appendix 3 supersedes Appendix 2 and Appendix 1. The fixed-dose, body 
weight-tiered regimen for all age groups is outlined in Table 1. Appendix 5 describes 
additional analyses performed to select an initial dose for neonates (birth to ≤27 days). 
Appendix 5 complements Appendix 3 and Appendix 4. 
The enrollment of neonates and the dosing of neonates, will proceed as follows: 
After being treated with standard of care therapies for from 5 to 14 days, all neonates in the 
PK cohort randomized to apixaban in Group 4 will receive apixaban 0.1 mg twice daily, prior 
to the completion of a PK sub-analysis described below. For these neonates, a series of 
blood samples will be collected after the first 0.1 mg dose of apixaban to predict each 
subject’s daily apixaban exposure (AUCs) at steady-state. If the subject’s predicted AUCss 
is outside the interval of 1293 to 4807 ng*hr/mL (90% prediction interval from adults with 
5 mg twice daily), apixaban dose will be adjusted to remain within this interval. Further 
details are included in Appendix 5. 
A PK sub-analysis will be performed using initial neonatal data to confirm an apixaban fixed 
dosing regimen for neonates as described in a separate analysis plan. Neonates who continue 
to be recruited, while this PK sub-analysis is ongoing, will still require PK measurements and 
potential dose adjustments, until the results of the sub-analysis and final dose determination 
have been completed. 
If the PK sub-analysis confirms that the 0.1 mg twice a day (BID) apixaban dose regimen is 
suitable for the post-PK neonates the ongoing recruitment of neonates will continue, with a 
dose of 0.2 mg BID apixaban for Days 1 to 7, followed by 0.1 mg BID, thereafter. Should 
the PK sub-analysis determine that a different dosing paradigm is appropriate, a subsequent 
protocol amendment will be required.

b. Subjects enrolled in Age Group 3, 28 days to <2 years (a minimum of 4 kg) and <35 kg may be administered 
0.5 mg tablets or 0.1 mg sprinkle capsules based on the assigned apixaban dose. 
c. Neonates are defined as infants from birth up to ≤27 days of life. For pre-term infants born between 34 and 
<37 weeks gestation, investigators have the option to define the 27 day neonatal period starting from the actual date of 
birth (post-natal age) or may choose to define the 27 day neonatal period starting when the postmenstrual age 
(gestational age plus the post-natal age) reaches 37 weeks and enroll the infant no more than 27 days thereafter into 
Cohort 4. 
d. Neonate dose may be modified during PK-sub-analysis period until a fixed dose is determined. If a subject is 
randomized as part of the neonate cohort and subsequently reaches an age of 28 days or older and a weight of greater 
than or equal to 4 kg, the subject’s dose beyond Day 8 will be adjusted, to align with the <5 to 4 kg body weight 
group, as defined above, at a dose of 0.3 mg twice daily, unless the subject in the PK cohort had a dose decrease on 
the basis of Day 1 PK measurements. Subjects who reach an age of 28 days or older and who have a weight less than 
4 kg, should remain on their initial neonate dose, or on the dose determined by the day 1 PK measurement, when that 
information becomes available. 
e. Should the PK sub-analysis reveal dosing different from 0.1 mg BID, a subsequent protocol amendment will be 
required. 
† An amended protocol will be implemented prior to enrollment of each subsequent age group and the dose rationale 
will be described in an appendix. 
Age Group to be used for analyses: Age Group 1:12 to <18 years; Age Group 2: 2 to <12 years; Age Group 3: 28 days to 
<2 years; Age Group 4 = Neonates (birth to ≤27 days). 
 
Subjects randomized to the SOC arm will receive a dose and dosing regimen of 
anticoagulation treatment based on usual and customary care per local practices and that will 
be aligned with the current, internationally recognized ACCP and ASH guidelines, or 
equivalent, for at least 12 weeks.22,23 Subjects less than 2 years of age may receive SOC for 
6 to 12 weeks, consistent with the ACCP and ASH guidelines.22,23 Monitoring of SOC will

a. 
Perform physical examination including height/body length, weight, vital signs. Weight should be rechecked at an 
unplanned visit when the subject reaches 28 days of age, for the purposes of determining whether the subject’s dose 
should be modified. If there is a 20% change in weight for subjects less than 2 years old, the investigator may contact 
the study Sponsor to discuss a possible change in dosing regimen. 
b. 
For females of childbearing potential. Pregnancy tests may also be repeated as per request of IRB/IECs or if required 
by local regulations. 
c. 
Screening activities may be combined with Day 1 activities. 
d. 
Visit can be conducted by telephone or on site. 
e. 
Includes medication administered up to 30 days prior to randomization. Standard of care to treat the index event may 
be given up to 14 days prior to randomization into this study. 
f. 
Refer to Section 7.4.1 Sampling Time Points for detailed instructions and Section 7.2.2 for special requirements when a 
dried blood spot blood collection method is used. 
g. 
If one or both samples were not drawn during the Day 14 visit, then the Day 14 visit procedure should be repeated at 
the Day 42 visit to obtain the missing sample(s). Otherwise, samples are not required at the Day 42 visit. 
h. 
Radiologic reassessment of the index event may occur anytime between Days 28 and 56. 
i. 
The following laboratory tests are required to satisfy the exclusion criteria for this study and should be analyzed by the 
local laboratory and reviewed prior to randomization: platelets, serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate 
(eGFR), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), conjugated bilirubin, and pregnancy test when applicable. Only the most 
recent laboratory results, obtained within 7 days prior to randomization, may be used to satisfy this requirement. For 
subjects <2 years of age, labs may be evaluated using a local laboratory test and documented on the Local Lab CRF, in 
place of central laboratory tests for subsequent visits if all specified measures have been collected and reported. 
j. 
For neonates and subjects <2 years of age receiving 6 weeks of study treatment, Day 42 and Day 84 (EOT) visits will 
be combined. 
k. 
If contraception use is required according to Section 4.3 Life Style Guidelines. 
l. 
Radiologic images that require sedation and/or radiation at the Day 42 or Day 84 (EOT) visits (if applicable, also 
applied to images obtained at Day 126 or Day 168 EOT visit) are not required and may be omitted, if not medically 
necessary.

1. INTRODUCTION 
Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) is rare in the pediatric population in comparison to the 
adult population. In 1994, the Canadian Registry of VTE in children older than 1 month 
reported a VTE incidence of 0.07 per 10,000 children per year and 5.3 per 
10,000 hospitalizations per year, as compared with a range of 2.5 to 5 cases per 100 adults. 
However, in the past decade, increased survival of children with serious illnesses and 
improved diagnostic techniques have led to an increasing awareness of the occurrence and 
sequelae of VTE in the pediatric population. A recent multicenter study demonstrated a 
dramatic increase in the diagnosis of VTE at children’s hospitals from 2001 to 2007. During 
that 7-year period, 11,337 hospitalized patients were diagnosed with VTE where the annual 
rate of VTE increased by 70% from 34 to 58 cases per 10,000 hospital admissions [Raffini et 
al, 2009].25 
Children and adults are thought to share a common basic pathophysiology of venous 
thrombosis based on Virchow’s triad. Venous stasis, vascular injury, and hypercoagulability 
all predispose to thrombosis. In adults, several risk factors are known to invoke one or more 
of the Virchow conditions. These include prolonged immobilization, the presence of a 
central venous line, surgery, trauma, malignancy, pregnancy and puerperium, treatment with 
oral contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy, presence of antiphospholipid antibodies, 
and inherited disorders of coagulation. The pathophysiology of VTE in children is similar, 
but the contribution of each factor differs among age groups [Albisetti et al, 2012].3 
Differences between adult and pediatric coagulation factor values are variable: some factors 
are present at adult levels or higher from birth, while others are extremely low, rising to adult 
values only in adolescence. The mean values for fibrinogen, factor (F) V, FVIII, von 
Willebrand factor, and FXIII are >70% of adult values at birth. However, for both premature 
and healthy full-term infants, the mean values for the contact factors and vitamin 
K-dependent factors are <70% of adult values; and while increasing throughout childhood, 
they remain low, compared to adult levels, even into adolescence. The coagulation 
inhibitors, antithrombin (AT), heparin cofactor II (HCII), protein C, and protein S, are also 
decreased at birth. AT and HCII reach adult levels around 6 months of age, whereas 
protein C and protein S plasma levels reach adult levels only in adolescence. Two other 
coagulation inhibitors, α2-macroglobulin and protein C1 inhibitor are increased at the time of 
birth, compared to adult levels, and remain elevated until adulthood. 
Several factors likely contribute to the lower incidence of VTE in children compared with 
that in adults. Certainly, the unique hemostatic physiology of infancy and childhood has an 
impact. Also important is the integrity of the vessel wall and its influence on thrombosis. 
The vascular endothelium of children has not accumulated damage from hypertension, 
diabetes, or hypercholesterolemia, and so maintains anticoagulant properties. Similarly, most 
children have not been exposed to acquired thrombotic risk factors such as oral 
contraceptives or smoking, and they are much less frequently exposed to antiphospholipid 
antibodies or malignancies. Nonetheless, thromboembolisms do occur in children. It must 
be understood that there are differences in the causes of VTE, when comparing older children 
to younger children and neonates. As described in the 2018 American Society of 
Hematology 2018 Guidelines for management of VTE:23 treatment of pediatric VTE: “The

commonest age groups for VTE are neonates and teenagers, and this reflects the pattern of 
associated underlying diseases and interventions. The most common precipitating factor is 
the presence of a central venous access device (CVAD), which is related to almost 90% of 
VTE in neonates and 60% in older children”.4 
Thromboembolism is a well-recognized complication of cancer in children. There are 
several factors which contribute, including the presence of a central venous catheter (CVC), 
the underlying malignancy, dehydration, and infection [Macartney et al, 2011].18 
Primary and secondary antiphospholipid syndrome results in an increased risk of deep vein 
thrombosis (DVT), acute coronary syndrome, and transient ischemic attack. In children, 
there is a long-term risk of recurrence following thrombosis, without long-term 
anticoagulation [Macartney et al, 2011].18 
Though inherited thrombophilia can play a role in VTE events in children, it is not as well 
understood as in the adult population, partly due to lack of studies; therefore, the significance 
is not clear [Macartney et al, 2011].18 
Once a VTE occurs, the progression of the disease and the aim of antithrombotic therapy are 
the same for both adults and children. They are to: 1) reduce the risk of death due to 
thrombus extension or embolization; 2) reduce the incidence of recurrent thrombosis; 
3) reduce the incidence of post thrombotic syndrome by limiting vascular damage; and 
4) maintain vessel patency and vascular access [Chalmers et al, 2011].7 
Although much is known about the factors underlying the risk for recurrence of VTE in 
adults, little is known about these risks in children. In children that have an underlying 
acquired risk factor for VTE (a CVC or underlying medical condition), recurrence is 
uncommon if the underlying cause is removed. In a study involving 153 consecutive 
neonates and children with VTE, 91 percent had an underlying medical condition and 
77 percent had a CVC [Revel-Vilk et al, 2003].26 The risk of VTE recurrence in this study 
was 10.5 percent; in all children, the same acquired risk factor was present in the first and the 
recurrent episode of VTE. In this population, the presence of a prothrombotic state or an 
elevated level of factor VIII was not associated with recurrence [Albisetti et al, 2012].3 
In children, particularly neonates, approximately two-thirds of VTEs are associated with the 
use of CVCs or access devices, which can impair vascular access and require intervention or 
lead to embolization [Andrew et al, 1994; van Ommen et al, 2001; Kuhle et al, 2004].4,29,14 
CVCs are extremely important for the long- and short-term management of pediatric patients 
with a variety of severe diseases (eg, total parenteral nutrition; intensive fluid management; 
administration of blood products, antibiotics, and chemotherapy). Most CVC-associated 
VTEs occur in the upper venous system, in association with CVCs inserted percutaneously 
through a jugular or subclavian vein [Massicotte et al, 1998].19 Femoral venous catheters are 
used less commonly but also can be associated with VTE [Worly et al, 2004].30

Treatment of VTE 
Anticoagulation in children may be administered prophylactically to prevent thrombosis in 
high-risk individuals or in therapeutic doses in those with confirmed thrombosis. The most 
comprehensive guidelines for the treatment of pediatric VTE published are those of the 
internationally recognized American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) and American 
Society of Hematology(ASH).22,23 The decision to anticoagulate will depend on each 
individual situation, weighing the benefits against the risk of bleeding. As in adults, 
anticoagulation therapy is administered to prevent clot extension or embolization, to reduce 
the risk of recurrence, to prevent long-term complications of vascular compromise such as 
post thrombotic syndrome (PTS), and to maintain blood vessel patency for long-term venous 
access [Macartney et al, 2011].18 
Since there is no one standard of care (SOC) for all children for the treatment of VTE, the 
recommendation in the current ASH guidelines and ACCP guidelines (2012) includes use of 
unfractionated heparin (UFH), low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), and/or a vitamin K 
antagonist (VKA). For subjects 28 days to <2 years of age, this study will limit SOC to 
heparin only (ie, UFH or LMWH). For neonates (birth to 27 days), they will be assigned and 
treated with apixaban only. 
1.1. Indication 
Apixaban (PF-04652577, BMS-562247-01, Eliquis) is an orally active factor Xa (FXa) 
inhibitor that is being developed by Pfizer and Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) for the treatment 
of venous thromboembolism in children. 
1.2. Background and Rationale 
Apixaban (BMS-562247) is an orally active, direct inhibitor of FXa that binds to the active 
site of FXa and inhibits its activity without requiring antithrombin. A comprehensive 
summary of the pharmacology, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME), 
toxicology and clinical experience with apixaban are provided in the Investigator 
Brochure (IB). 
Marketing authorization for apixaban has been granted for the prevention of venous 
thromboembolism (VTE) in adults who have undergone elective hip or knee replacement 
surgery and for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) 
and prevention of recurrent DVT and PE in adults in the United States of America (USA), 
the European Union (EU), Canada, and other countries, and for the prevention of stroke and 
systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation in the USA, EU, Canada, 
Japan, and other countries worldwide. 
Efficacy and safety for the treatment of VTE have been demonstrated in 2 completed pivotal 
Phase 3 studies (CV185056, AMPLIFY and CV185057, AMPLIFY-EXT). Apixaban was 
studied in a randomized, double-blind, triple dummy trial (AMPLIFY) that compared 
apixaban (10 mg twice daily for seven days followed by 5 mg twice daily) with conventional 
anticoagulation (warfarin for six months co-administered with subcutaneous (SC) enoxaparin 
for at least the first five days and until an INR of 2 was achieved) in 5395 adult subjects for

the treatment of acute symptomatic proximal DVT only or pulmonary embolism (PE) with or 
without a DVT. The published results [Agnelli, G et al, 2013]2 are as follows: 
• The primary efficacy outcome occurred in 59 of 2609 patients (2.3%) in the apixaban 
group, as compared with 71 of 2635 (2.7%) in the conventional-therapy group 
(relative risk, 0.84; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.60 to 1.18; difference in risk 
[apixaban minus conventional therapy], −0.4 percentage points; 95% CI, −1.3 to 0.4). 
Apixaban was noninferior to conventional therapy (P<0.001) for predefined upper 
limits of the 95% confidence intervals for both relative risk (<1.80) and difference in 
risk (<3.5 percentage points). Major bleeding occurred in 0.6% of patients who 
received apixaban and in 1.8% of those who received conventional therapy (relative 
risk, 0.31; 95% CI, 0.17 to 0.55; P<0.001 for superiority). The composite outcome of 
major bleeding and clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding occurred in 4.3% of the 
patients in the apixaban group, as compared with 9.7% of those in the conventional- 
therapy group (relative risk, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.36 to 0.55; P<0.001). Rates of other 
adverse events (AE)s were similar in the two groups. 
In support of these results, apixaban was also studied in a randomized, double-blind trial 
(AMPLIFY-EXT) that compared the efficacy and safety of two doses of apixaban (2.5 mg or 
5 mg twice daily for 12 months) to placebo in 2482 subjects with a VTE who reached clinical 
equipoise after completing 6 to 12 months of anticoagulation for their index event. The 
published results [Agnelli, G et al, 2013]1 are as follows: 
• A total of 2486 patients underwent randomization, of whom 2482 were included in 
the intention-to-treat analyses. Symptomatic recurrent venous thromboembolism or 
death from venous thromboembolism occurred in 73 of the 829 patients (8.8%) who 
were receiving placebo, as compared with 14 of the 840 patients (1.7%) who were 
receiving 2.5 mg of apixaban (a difference of 7.2 percentage points; 95% confidence 
interval [CI], 5.0 to 9.3) and 14 of the 813 patients (1.7%) who were receiving 5 mg 
of apixaban (a difference of 7.0 percentage points; 95% CI, 4.9 to 9.1) (P<0.001 for 
both comparisons). The rates of major bleeding were 0.5% in the placebo group, 
0.2% in the 2.5-mg apixaban group, and 0.1% in the 5-mg apixaban group. The rates 
of clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding were 2.3% in the placebo group, 3.0% in the 
2.5-mg apixaban group, and 4.2% in the 5-mg apixaban group. The rate of death 
from any cause was 1.7% in the placebo group, as compared with 0.8% in the 2.5-mg 
apixaban group and 0.5% in the 5-mg apixaban group. 
The results of both the AMPLIFY and AMPLIFY-EXT trials show that apixaban is a safe 
and efficacious alternative to current standards of care without the need for parenteral 
administration or monitoring. 
Currently there are three main classes of anticoagulants used for the treatment of VTE, which 
are well established and approved in adults, but are adapted yet not approved for use in 
children: VKA (eg, warfarin), UFH, and LMWH, with the exception of one LMWH, 
FRAGMIN® (dalteparin sodium) injection.31 Through extrapolation of the adult data, 
physicians are using these anticoagulants in children. The recommended therapeutic INR

ranges for VKA in children are directly extrapolated from recommendations for adult 
patients because there are no clinical trials that have assessed the optimal INR range for 
children. Thus, for most indications, the therapeutic target INR is 2.5 (range, 2.0-3.0) 
[Monagle et al, 2012].22 The UFH dose is selected based on activated partial thromboplastin 
time (aPTT) therapeutic ranges universally determined using plasma: aPTT by protamine 
titration of 0.2 to 0.4 units/mL or an anti-FXa level of 0.35 to 0.7 units/mL [Monagle et al, 
2012].22 Therapeutic ranges for LMWH are extrapolated from adults and based on anti-FXa 
levels. The guideline for therapeutic LMWHs being given subcutaneously twice daily (BID) 
is an anti-FXa level of 0.50 to 1.0 units/mL in a sample taken 4 to 6 hours following a 
subcutaneous injection [Monagle et al, 2012].22 Using the same concept of extrapolation, 
this study will extrapolate efficacy based on achievement of exposure in children similar to 
that with the AMPLIFY regimen of 10 mg twice daily for the first 7 days and then 5 mg 
twice daily thereafter in adults. 
The safety and efficacy profile of apixaban (AMPLIFY and AMPLIFY-EXT trials) suggests 
a possible benefit of oral apixaban in children over standard of care for the treatment of VTE. 
This current pediatric VTE trial will enroll subjects who require anticoagulation for a newly 
diagnosed VTE. Subjects will be randomized to receive either apixaban or SOC. The 
primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and descriptive efficacy of apixaban in 
pediatric subjects requiring anticoagulation for the treatment of a VTE with 12 weeks of 
therapy in subjects ≥ 2 years of age or 6 to 12 weeks of therapy in subjects <2 years of age. 
1.2.1. Pharmacokinetics of Apixaban in Pediatric Subjects 
Study CV185079 evaluated the multiple-dose pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic 
(PD), safety and tolerability of apixaban in 8 pediatric subjects up to 18 years of age with an 
indwelling central venous catheter. Though the study was terminated early due to poor 
enrollment. Six subjects ranging from between the ages of 13 to 17 years of age were 
administered 0.66 mg/m2 apixaban BID x 10 days and two subjects, ages 
years of 
age were administered 0.60 mg/m2 apixaban BID x 10 days. 
Model-estimated steady state area under the curve over the dosing interval [AUC(TAU)] 
measured 234.6 ng/mL in the six pediatric subjects from the ages of 13 years to17 years and 
223.5 ng/mL for the two subjects of ages 
. Apixaban was generally safe and 
well-tolerated by the 8 subjects in this study. There were no deaths, treatment-related 
Serious Adverse Events (SAE)s, or bleeding-related AEs reported. 
The most frequently occurring AE and laboratory marked abnormality was prolonged aPTT. 
Prolongation of aPTT is a known pharmacological effect of direct acting FXa inhibitors and 
as noted above, aPTT prolongation was not associated with any bleeding events. Apixaban 
administration had no apparent impact on vital signs or physical examination findings. 
Study CV185118 is a single-dose study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, 
pharmacodynamics, safety and tolerability of apixaban in pediatric subjects from birth to 
<18 years at risk for a venous or arterial thrombotic disorder. As data were obtained from the 
CV185118 study, the modeling and simulation results were updated and used to support 
dosing recommendations for each of the four pre-specified age groups of B0661037, in a

sequential fashion. Approved amended protocols were implemented prior to enrollment of 
each subsequent age group and the dose selection rationales were described in appendices. 
To date, apixaban has been well tolerated, and there have been no significant 
apixaban-related safety findings in CV185118. Four interim analyses of PK data have been 
completed for Study CV185118. 
• Interim analysis 1 used PK data from 16 subjects (5, 7, and 4 subjects within the 
12 to <18, 6 to <12, and 2 to <6 years of age groups, respectively). The results 
showed that mean single-dose AUC(INF) in children across all age groups was 
generally similar to the median steady-state AUC(TAU) in adult patients treated with 
apixaban 2.5 mg BID for the prevention of venous thromboembolism. A linear 
relationship between apixaban concentration and anti-FXa activity was observed, 
which is consistent with that observed in adult subjects. The results of this analysis 
were used to support the dose selection rationale for Age Group 1, as described in 
Appendix 1, which is superseded by Appendix 3. 
• Interim Analysis 2 used PK data from 28 subjects (8, 8, 8, and 4 subjects within the 
12 to <18 years, 6 to <12 years, 2 to <6 years, and 9 months to <2 years of age 
groups, respectively). The results showed that the oral clearance increased with 
increasing age and reached values similar to those of adults in pediatric subjects older 
than 12 years. A linear relationship between apixaban concentration and anti-FXa 
activity was observed, which is consistent with that observed in adult subjects. The 
results of this analysis were used to support the updated dose selection rationale for 
Age Group 1 and the new dose selection rationale for Age Group 2, as described in 
Appendix 2, which is superseded by Appendix 3. 
• Interim Analysis 3 used PK data from 34 subjects (8, 8, 8, 6 and 4 subjects within the 
12 to <18 years, 6 to <12 years, 2 to <6 years, 9 months to <2 years and 28 days to 
<9 months of age groups, respectively). The results showed that the oral clearance 
increased with increasing age and reached values similar to those of adults in 
pediatric subjects older than 12 years. In addition, that oral clearance, when 
normalized to body weight, was constant across the pediatric age range of 3 months 
to 18 years. The results of this analysis were used to support the dose selection 
rationale for pediatric subjects with aged 3 months to <18 years, as described in 
Appendix 3. 
• Interim Analysis 3C used PK data from 54 subjects (16, 11, 8, 9, and 1 subject within 
the 12 to <18 years, 6 to <12 years, 2 to <6 years, 9 months to <2 years, 28 days to 
<9 months, and <28 days of age groups, respectively) in CV185079 and CV185118. 
The results showed that the oral clearance increased with increasing age and reached 
values similar to those of adults in pediatric subjects older than 12 years. In addition, 
that oral clearance, when normalized to body weight, was constant across the 
pediatric age range of 28 days to 18 years. The results of this analysis were used to 
support the dose selection rationale for pediatric subjects ages 28 days to <3 months

of age, as described in Appendix 4, which is the most current and complements 
Appendix 3 since doses in subjects ≥3 months of age remain the same. 
1.2.2. Pediatric Formulation Development 
In April 2017, the Sponsor suspended use of the apixaban oral solution in children <5 years 
of age in pediatric studies, including B0661037, because the daily intake of 
one of the key solubilizing agents in the apixaban oral solution formulation, would exceed 
the threshold specified in a 2014 draft European Medicines Agency (EMA) guideline for 
children <5 years of age.10 The official EMA guidance was published in October 2017.11 
In order to resume enrollment of pediatric subjects <5 years of age in ongoing studies, the 
Sponsor developed a 0.5 mg strength tablet of the currently approved adult formulation for 
use in subjects ≥3 months of age (and a minimum of 6 kg weight). The tablet is relatively 
with approximately 
 
weight. The composition 
(drug excipient ratios) and manufacturing process (up to compression) for the 0.5-mg tablet 
is 
These 0.5-mg tablets also use 
the 
and final blend as the 
. 
Therefore, the 0.5-mg tablets have the same pharmaceutical characteristics as the apixaban 
while being proportionally scaled to a lower strength for the 
pediatric use. 
In addition to 0.5 mg strength tablets, the 0.1 mg sprinkle capsules will be available for use in 
pediatric subjects. 
1.2.3. Dose Selection Age Groups 1, 2, and 3 
With the introduction of 0.5 mg tablets, the dosing paradigm of apixaban changed from 
mg/kg dosing to fixed-dose, body weight-tiered regimen, as outlined in Table 2 and 
supported by Appendix 3 and Appendix 4. 
The modeling and simulation results, described in Appendix 3 and Appendix 4, support the 
current dosing recommendation of fixed-dose body weight-tiered regimen for pediatric 
subjects aged 28 days to <18 years (Age Groups 1, 2,3 in Table 2). The age groups used for 
analysis will remain as Age Group 1: 12 to <18 years; Age Group 2: 2 to <12 years; 
Age Group 3: 28 days to <2 years; Age Group 4: neonates (birth to ≤27 days). Appendix 4 
describes additional analyses performed to select doses in subjects 28 days to 3 months and 
complements Appendix 3. Appendix 3 superseded Appendix 2 and Appendix 1. The 
fixed-dose, body weight-tiered regimen for all age groups is outlined in Table 2. 
1.2.4. Dose Selection for Age Group 4 
After being treated with standard of care therapies for 5 to 14 days, all neonate subjects 
randomized to apixaban in the PK cohort of Group 4, will receive apixaban 0.1 mg twice 
daily, prior to the completion of a PK sub-analysis described below. For these neonates, a 
series of blood samples will be collected after the first 0.1 mg dose of apixaban to predict 
each subject’s daily apixaban exposure (AUCss) at steady-state with 0.1 mg twice daily. If 
the subject’s predicted AUCss is outside the interval of 1293 to 4807 ng*hr/mL

(90% prediction interval from adults with 5 mg twice daily), apixaban dose will be adjusted 
to remain within this interval. If the predicted exposure of neonate subjects randomized to 
apixaban in the PK cohort is above the 95th percentile, apixaban dose will be reduced to 
0.1 mg daily. If the predicted exposure is below the 5th percentile, apixaban dose will be 
increased to 0.2 mg twice daily. If the 90% prediction interval cannot be achieved with 
either 0.1 mg daily or 0.2 mg twice daily, the subject will be discontinued from apixaban. 
Further details on dose selection rationale for initial 0.1 mg BID are included in Appendix 5. 
A PK sub-analysis will be performed using initial neonatal data to confirm an apixaban fixed 
dosing regimen for neonates as described in a separate analysis plan. Neonates who continue 
to be recruited, while this PK sub-analysis is ongoing, will still require PK measurements and 
potential dose adjustments, until the results of the sub-analysis and final dose determination 
have been completed. 
If the PK sub-analysis confirms that the 0.1 mg BID apixaban dose regimen is suitable for 
the post-PK neonates the ongoing recruitment of neonates will continue, with a dose of 
0.2 mg BID apixaban for Days 1 to 7, followed by 0.1 mg BID, thereafter. Should the PK 
sub-analysis determine that a different dosing paradigm is appropriate, a subsequent protocol 
amendment will be required. 
If after the first week of treatment a subject that is randomized as a neonate subsequently 
reaches an age of 28 days or older and a weight of greater than or equal to 4 kg, the subject’s 
dose will be adjusted one time, as clinically appropriate, to align with the <5 to 4 kg body 
weight group’s Day 8 or thereafter dose, as defined in Table 2, unless the subject had a prior 
dose decrease, based on Day 1 PK measurements. Subjects who reach an age of 28 days or 
older and who have a weight less than 4 kg, should remain on their initial neonate dose, or on 
the dose determined by the Day 1 PK measurement, when that information becomes 
available.

1.3. Benefit & Risks of Apixaban 
The following section reviews the potential benefits and risks of apixaban for subjects 
enrolled in this study. 
1.3.1. Potential Benefits to Subjects 
As demonstrated in a number of clinical studies, apixaban has potent, predictable and lasting 
anticoagulant activity and a predictable PK profile. Distinct features of apixaban include 
direct binding to the active site of FXa without requiring antithrombin III, a pediatric oral 
dosing formulation with consistent absorption and no food effect, limited potential for 
clinically significant drug-drug interaction with other medications, no need for therapeutic 
monitoring, and a low risk of bleeding. These features may make it superior to currently 
available antithrombotic agents for thromboprophylaxis in children with a venous 
thromboembolism, thus addressing an unmet clinical need. All patients are expected to 
receive some benefit in the form of increased medical care/attention when participating in 
study procedures, which includes multiple clinic visits, physical and laboratory examinations 
over the course of the study. 
1.3.2. Potential Risks to Subjects 
The primary safety risk for apixaban, as well as any anticoagulant, is undesired bleeding. 
Based on safety data obtained in the adult clinical program from over 70,000 subjects, 
approximately 40,000 of whom were treated with apixaban, and post-marketing experience 
from over 29 million adult patients worldwide, apixaban’s risk of bleeding is expected to be 
low, and comparable to that of subcutaneous LMWH. While apixaban’s risk of bleeding has 
been demonstrated to be lower than warfarin (ARISTOTLE),20 it is interesting to learn that in 
patients undergoing invasive procedures while taking apixaban, the rates (treatment 
interrupted, treatment not interrupted) of post-procedural major bleeding (1.65%, 1.59%) and 
death (1.0%, 1.4 %) were low whether apixaban was interrupted or continued; whereas in 
patients taking warfarin, the rates of post-procedural major bleeding (1.26%, 3.04%) and 
death (0.5%, 2.0%) were at least 2-fold higher among those who continued warfarin versus 
those who interrupted treatment.2 
1.3.2.1. Protection Against Risks 
To minimize the risk of bleeding, subjects with active bleeding or high risk of bleeding 
(eg, central nervous system tumors) as well as intracranial bleed including recent 
intraventricular hemorrhage will be excluded from the study. Study subjects will be closely 
monitored for any bleeding and thromboembolic events and for overall safety. Study 
treatment will be held for clinically significant bleeding. All bleeding events will be 
adjudicated by an independent Event Adjudication Committee (EAC), and the conduct of the 
trial will be supervised by an independent External Data Monitoring Committee (EDMC) 
which also review the data from the other pediatric apixaban studies for a complete safety 
signal. The EDMC will have the responsibility to review the incidence of bleeding and 
thromboembolic events and will be provided with reports of SAEs on a regular basis. The 
EDMC may recommend modification or suspension of the trial for safety reasons.

In addition to EDMC supervision, the sponsor will conduct real-time monitoring and will 
review all safety information from all ongoing apixaban pediatric studies as they become 
available. Frequent safety signal detection will be performed, which will include integration 
of clinical study data, post marketing surveillance AE reports, pre-clinical data, 
epidemiological studies and literature reports, to identify and characterize unrecognized 
safety risks or changes in those which are currently classified as expected Adverse Drug 
Reactions. Any information that may affect the benefit-risk profile of apixaban will be 
immediately communicated to relevant Health Authorities, the EDMC, and investigators, and 
appropriate actions will be taken regarding the study as needed. Investigators will also be 
provided guidance on appropriate management of serious bleeding related events.

This protocol will use an independent Endpoint Adjudication Committee (EAC) wherein 
adjudication of disease-related efficacy and safety endpoints will be performed. For those 
Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) that are handled as disease-related efficacy endpoints, the 
Endpoint Adjudication Committee, in coordination with the External Data Monitoring 
Committee (EDMC), is responsible for ongoing analysis of these outcomes and for informing 
the sponsor of recommendations made (eg, to continue the study or to stop the study). 
3. STUDY DESIGN 
Treatment assignment will not be blinded. Up to 250 subjects will be randomized into the 
trial using a ratio of 2 to 1 to apixaban or SOC, respectively. A goal of 30 or more subjects 
will be randomized into each of the following three age groups to be used for analysis: 
(1) 12 to <18 years; (2) 2 to <12 years; (3) 28 days to <2 years; For age group 4, neonates 
(birth to ≤27 days), the sample size may be adjusted based on a PK sub-analysis that will be 
performed using initial neonatal data to confirm an apixaban fixed dosing regimen for 
neonates as described in a separate analysis plan. The number of neonates on apixaban will 
not exceed 20 subjects. Enrollment caps may be used to manage enrollment per age group. 
Randomization will be stratified by age group. Enrollment will begin with the oldest age 
group. As of May 2019, enrollment to Age Groups 1 and 2 was completed and as of 
December 2020, enrollment to Age Group 3 (28 days to <2 years of age) was completed. 
Enrollment is now focused on the youngest age group, Group 4 (neonates, birth to ≤27 days 
with a minimum weight of ≥2.6 kg). Enrollment may be capped in any age cohort once 
adequate numbers are reached to fulfill the objectives of this study. Subjects 28 days of age 
or older may receive up to 14 days of standard anticoagulant treatment prior to 
randomization. For the study’s neonate PK cohort, subjects ≤27 days of age, who will have 
been treated with standard of care therapies for 5 to 14 days prior to randomization, the dose 
will be targeted to achieve an exposure similar to 5 mg twice daily in adults. For the study’s 
neonate post-PK cohort, (ie, those neonates recruited after the PK sub-analysis is completed), 
which may be treated with standard of care therapies for up to 14 days prior to 
randomization, the dose will be targeted to achieve an exposure similar to 10 mg twice daily 
for the first week, and 5 mg twice daily thereafter in adults. 
Subjects 2 years of age or older, randomized to the apixaban arm will receive open-label 
apixaban for 12 weeks.

Neonates (birth to ≤27 days) and children 28 days to <2 years of age may receive open-label 
apixaban for 6 to 12 weeks, a duration consistent with the ACCP and ASH guidelines and 
clinical recommendation. Subjects randomized to the SOC arm will receive a dosing 
regimen of anticoagulation treatment based on usual and customary care per local practices 
and that will be aligned with the current, internationally recognized ACCP and ASH 
guidelines, or equivalent, for at least 12 weeks. Neonates (birth to ≤27 days) and children 
28 days to <2 years of age may receive SOC for 6 to 12 weeks. SOC will be limited to 
heparin in subjects <2 years old (UFH or LMWH). Monitoring of SOC will be based on 
usual and customary care per local practices and should be aligned with the current 
guidelines. The remaining neonates (birth to ≤27 days) will be assigned and treated with 
apixaban only. 
Subjects will be monitored for laboratory safety parameters. Monitoring will take place at 
the Day 1 and Day 42 visits and whenever clinically indicated. 
The initial neonates treated with apixaban, and other neonates subsequently recruited prior to 
the completion of the neonate PK sub-analysis, will have three (3) PK measurements 
obtained during their first day of treatment. All apixaban treated subjects will have pre- and 
post-dose blood samples for peak and trough apixaban concentrations (PK) and anti-FXa 
activity levels (PD) at the Day 14 visit. If possible, PK samples for apixaban may be 
obtained within 24 hours of a major bleeding or a thrombotic event along with the time of the 
last dose prior to the event. 
Radiologic imaging will be performed, and adjudicated, to confirm the index event 
(ie, primary diagnosis of thromboembolic event which will be treated with apixaban or SOC 
in this study). For subjects 2 years of age or older, in addition to the radiologic images 
obtained to confirm the index event, new radiologic images of the clot will be obtained at 
approximately the mid-point and end of treatment (EOT) visits. For subjects 28 days to 
<2 years of age and neonates (birth to ≤27 days of age) imaging should be performed at the 
EOT. All of the aforementioned imaging will be adjudicated. 
Additional imaging assessments can be performed at the discretion of the Investigator, at any 
time during the study. Radiologic images that require sedation and/or radiation at the Day 42 
or Day 84 (EOT) visits are not required and may be omitted, if not medically necessary. The 
reason for omitting images should be clearly documented in the appropriate Case Report 
Form (CRF). In addition, when medically appropriate, new radiologic images will be 
obtained if recurrent VTE is suspected. All assessments obtained in the evaluation of 
symptomatic or asymptomatic recurrent VTEs, performed after randomization, will be 
adjudicated. Further monitoring of thrombus status via radiologic images may be conducted 
per usual and customary practice. 
Palatability of the apixaban oral solution, the apixaban 0.5-mg tablets and apixaban 0.1 mg 
sprinkle capsules will be assessed at the Day 14 study visit.

4. SUBJECT SELECTION 
This study can fulfill its objectives only if appropriate subjects are enrolled. The following 
eligibility criteria are designed to select subjects for whom protocol treatment is considered 
appropriate. All relevant medical and non-medical conditions should be taken into 
consideration when deciding whether this protocol is suitable for a particular subject. 
4.1. Inclusion Criteria 
Subject eligibility should be reviewed and documented by an appropriately qualified member 
of the investigator’s study team before subjects are included in the study. 
Subjects must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for enrollment into the 
study: 
1. Children from birth to <18 years of age with a minimum weight of 2.6 kg at the time of 
randomization. 
• An approved amended protocol will be implemented prior to enrollment of each 
subsequent age group. 
• Neonates are defined as infants from birth up to ≤27 days of life. For pre-term infants 
born between 34 and <37 weeks gestation, investigators have the option to define the 
27 day neonatal period starting from the actual date of birth (post-natal age) or may 
choose to define the 27 day neonatal period starting when the postmenstrual age 
(gestational age plus the post-natal age) reaches 37 weeks and enroll the infant no 
more than 27 days thereafter into Cohort 4. “Gestational age” is the time elapsed 
between the first day of the last normal menstrual period and the day of delivery. 
Neonates or infants born prematurely at <34 weeks’ gestation are excluded from this 
study until the age of ≥6 months of life. Gestational age will only be taken into 
consideration for eligibility up to 6 months of age. 
2. Presence of an index VTE which is confirmed by imaging. Index VTE include, but are 
not limited to, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolus, cerebral sinovenous 
thrombosis, renal vein thrombosis, portal vein thrombosis, catheter-related thrombosis, 
and splanchnic thrombosis. In Germany only, cerebral sinovenous thrombosis will be 
excluded. 
3. Intention to manage the index VTE with anticoagulation treatment for at least 12 weeks 
or intention to manage the index VTE with anticoagulation treatment in neonates (birth to 
≤27 days) and children 28 days to <2 years of age for 6 to 12 weeks.

used in usual and customary practice, though not labeled for use in children, is 
acceptable. 
17. Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality 
that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product 
administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the 
judgment of the investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this 
study. 
18. Use of aggressive life-saving therapies such as ventricular assist devices (VAD) or

21. Known inherited bleeding disorder or coagulopathy with increased bleeding risk 
(eg, hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, etc.) 
4.3. Life Style Guidelines 
All female subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, are biologically capable of having 
children and are sexually active and at risk for pregnancy, must agree to use a highly 
effective method of contraception consistently and correctly for the duration of the active 
treatment period and for at least 33 days (5 half-lives plus 30 days) after the last dose of 
investigational product, which includes SOC. The investigator, or his/her designee, in 
consultation with the subject, will select or confirm that the subject has selected the most 
appropriate method of contraception for the individual subject from the permitted list of 
contraception methods (see below) and instruct the subject in its consistent and correct use. 
Subjects need to affirm that they meet at least one of the selected methods of contraception. 
The investigator or his/her designee will discuss with the subject the need to use highly

effective contraception consistently and correctly according to the Schedule of Activities 
(SOA) and document such conversation in the subject’s chart. In addition, the investigator or 
his/her designee will instruct the subject to call immediately if the selected contraception 
method is discontinued or if pregnancy is known or suspected. 
Highly effective methods of contraception are those that, alone or in combination, result in a 
failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly (ie, perfect use) and 
include the following: 
1. Established use of oral, inserted, injected or implanted hormonal methods of 
contraception are allowed provided the subject remains on the same treatment 
throughout the entire study and has been using that hormonal contraceptive for an 
adequate period of time to ensure effectiveness. 
2. Correctly placed copper containing intrauterine device (IUD). 
3. Male condom or female condom used WITH a spermicide (ie, foam, gel, film, cream, 
suppository). For countries where spermicide is not available or condom plus 
spermicide is not accepted as highly effective contraception, this option is not 
appropriate. 
4. Bilateral tubal ligation/bilateral salpingectomy or bilateral tubal occlusive procedure 
(provided that occlusion has been confirmed in accordance with the device’s label). 
NOTE: Sexual abstinence, defined as completely and persistently refraining from all 
heterosexual intercourse (including during the entire period of risk associated with the study 
treatments) may obviate the need for contraception. 
4.4. Sponsor Qualified Medical Personnel 
The contact information for the sponsor's appropriately qualified medical personnel for the 
trial is documented in the study contact list. 
To facilitate access to appropriately qualified medical personnel on study related medical 
questions or problems, subjects are provided with a contact card. The contact card contains, 
at a minimum, protocol and investigational compound identifiers, subject study numbers, 
contact information for the investigational site and contact details for a help desk in the event 
that the investigational site staff cannot be reached to provide advice on a medical question 
or problem originating from another healthcare professional not involved in the subject’s 
participation in the study. The help desk number can also be used by investigational staff if 
they are seeking advice on medical questions or problems, however it should only be used in 
the event that the established communication pathways between the investigational site and 
the study team are not available. It is therefore intended to augment, but not replace the 
established communication pathways between the investigational site and study team for 
advice on medical questions or problems that may arise during the study. The help desk 
number is not intended for use by the subject/legally acceptable representative directly and if

menstrual period and the day of delivery. Neonates or infants born prematurely at 
<34 weeks’ gestation are excluded from this study until the age of ≥6 months of life. 
Gestational age will only be taken into consideration for eligibility up to 6 months of age. 
Enrollment caps may be used to manage enrollment per age group without a needed 
amendment. Enrollment will begin with the oldest age group. An approved amended 
protocol will be implemented prior to enrollment of each subsequent age group. 
5.2. Drug Supplies 
5.2.1. Formulation and Packaging 
Apixaban will be provided as 5 mg tablets, or 0.5 mg tablets, 0.1 mg sprinkle capsules, or as 
0.4 mg/mL solution for oral administration. Apixaban oral solution must be used only in 
children ≥5 years of age because the daily intake of 
would exceed the 
threshold specified in a 2014 draft EMA guideline for children <5 years of age.10,11 The 
apixaban 5 mg tablets, 0.5-mg tablets, and 0.1 mg sprinkle capsules will be packaged in 
and labeled according to local regulatory requirements. Children <5 years of age, at 
least 4 kg to <35 kg weight, and randomized to the apixaban arm should only receive the 
0.5-mg tablet or 0.1 mg sprinkle capsule formulation in accordance with the dosing 
instructions and regulatory requirements referenced within the protocol. 
Apixaban 0.4 mg/mL oral solution is intended to be used only in children ≥5 years of age and 
will be provided in 
 labeled according to local regulatory requirements. 
In addition to 0.5 mg strength, the 0.1 mg sprinkle capsule was developed for pediatric 
 
5.2.2. Preparation and Dispensing 
Every effort should be made to keep a subject on the same formulation and dosing regimen 
(tablet, oral solution or sprinkle capsule formulation) for the duration of the study. However, 
a change in formulation (if permissible per age and body weight restrictions for the available 
apixaban formulations) will be permitted during the study in order to retain the subject in the 
study. 
Subjects who were originally randomized and dosed according to a weight-based (mg/kg) 
regimen presented in Table 2 (Amendment 3) and who are still on investigational product at 
the time of Amendment 4 approval, will continue on this weight-based regimen. Subjects 
randomized to receive apixaban after implementation of Amendment 4 of the protocol will 
follow the fixed-dose, body weight-tiered regimen provided Table 2 using the appropriate 
formulation. If a change in formulation (ie, change from oral solution to 0.5-mg tablets) is 
necessary for a subject randomized and dosed under Amendment 3, then the subject will 
need to switch from mg/kg dosing to the tiered fixed-dose regimen based on the subject’s 
subjects.

Except where prohibited by local regulations, sites are responsible for providing standard of 
care (both drug and dosing instructions) for subjects enrolled into the standard of care arm. 
For subjects 28 days to <2 years of age, SOC will be limited to heparins (UFH or LMWH). 
The remaining neonate subjects (birth to ≤27 days) will be assigned and treated with 
apixaban only. 
5.2.3. Administration 
Apixaban 
The apixaban dose will be provided by the central randomization and drug assignment 
system. Appropriate formulations will be provided to those subjects based on age and weight 
requirements. Multiple apixaban 0.5 mg tablets or 0.1 mg sprinkle capsules may be required 
to deliver the prescribed dose. Refer to the pharmacy manual for additional information 
regarding dosing, dosage forms, and administration. 
It is recommended that prior to the administration of the first dose of apixaban: 
• ≥2 hours have passed since the last dose of UFH; 
• ≥6 hours have passed since the last dose of LMWH labeled for twice daily 
administration; 
• ≥12 hours have passed since the last dose of fondaparinux or LMWH labeled for once 
daily administration; or 
• the INR ≤2 for subjects receiving a VKA. 
First Dose Administration of Apixaban 
Day 1 will be set at the time of randomization. For subjects who are currently on another 
anticoagulation therapy and need to wait for their first dose of apixaban due to timelines, the 
first dose of apixaban should be administered at the clinic visit. 
At Home Administration of Apixaban (First Dose) 
For those who cannot receive their first dose of apixaban during clinic hours on Day 1, the 
qualified site member shall dispense the investigational product and demonstrate the 
appropriate preparation and administration method of the oral solution or tablet formulations 
for dosing at home. The site will also need to update the subject’s dosing diary to reflect that 
the first dose of apixaban was administered at home. First dose administration at home will 
not be considered a protocol deviation. Administration instructions shall be given to the 
caregiver and/or subject depending on the age of the subject. An appropriately qualified site 
staff member shall dispense the investigational product along with the appropriate 
preparation and administration instructions to the subject and/or caregiver. The site shall also 
confirm that the subject and/or caregiver is able to demonstrate proper preparation as well as 
administration 
of apixaban to the subject while

at the clinic, and record confirmation of this in the site’s source documents. Dosing should 
continue twice daily (BID), approximately 12 hours apart, for 7 days (eg, 14 total doses). 
The dose will be decreased for Day 8 and onwards as described in Table 2. 
Subjects/caregivers shall be educated on changes in dosing for Day 8 and beyond. Sites shall 
contact the subject/caregiver on Day 7 to educate and remind them of the dosing changes. 
This interaction shall be documented in the source documentation. 
Apixaban administration: 
Apixaban can be administered by mouth (PO) or via a nasogastric tube or gastrostomy tube 
followed with or without food approximately 12 hours apart. 
Tablets: Apixaban 5-mg tablets may be 
and immediately 
administered orally. Alternatively, apixaban 5-mg tablets may be 
and immediately delivered through a nasogastric tube. The 
apixaban 0.5- mg tablet may be mixed with 
and promptly administered orally. Preparation and administration 
instructions for the apixaban 0.5 mg tablets will be provided and will include administration 
instructions for those children who cannot 
 tablets or take 
. 
Oral solution: The oral solution should be administered with the appropriate dosing syringe 
provided by the Sponsor and only in children ≥5 years of age (see Section 5.2.1). 
Administration of the apixaban oral solution (0.4 mg/ml) via nasogastric tube or gastrostomy 
tube is acceptable as is the use of either 
as flush media for the 
nasogastric or gastrostomy tubes. When administering via nasogastric tube or gastrostomy 
tube, coadministration of the apixaban oral solution (0.4 mg/ml) with an enteral meal is also 
acceptable. 
Sprinkle Capsule: The apixaban 0.1 mg sprinkle capsule may only be dissolved in water or 
formula and promptly administered via orally, NG or G tube. Preparation and administration 
instructions for the apixaban 0.1 mg sprinkle capsules will be provided separately. 
As data are obtained for the other age groups in the CV185118 study, the modeling and 
simulation results will be updated and used to support dosing recommendations for the 
neonate group. An approved amended protocol will be implemented prior to enrollment of 
each subsequent age group. 
Vomiting: If a subject vomits within 30 minutes of ingestion of the study drug, the full dose 
of study drug should be repeated. If a subject vomits more than 30 minutes after study drug 
ingestion, no additional study drug should be taken and the subject should resume study drug 
ingestion according to the usual schedule. If the subject vomits or spits up repeatedly, the 
caregiver should contact the Investigator.

Apixaban treatment beyond the Day 84 visit (Extension Phase): For subjects who require 
additional anticoagulation for the treatment of their index event, were compliant with the 
administration of apixaban, and completed all study visits and activities, apixaban will be 
made available for 6 or 12 additional weeks. For subjects who require long term 
anticoagulation beyond the 12 additional weeks (ie, Day 84 visit plus 12 additional weeks), a 
switch to SOC should be made after the end of treatment (Day 84) visit but no later than the 
Day 168 visit. Subjects who were randomized to SOC on Day 1 may not continue in this 
study beyond Day 84. 
For subjects who require 6 additional weeks of anticoagulation, the Day 28 and 42 visits will 
be repeated at Days 105 and 126, respectively, followed by the 35-day follow up visit. An 
EOT page will be completed when the subject has finished the 6-week or 12-week additional 
weeks. Investigational product will be dispensed on Day 84 for 6 additional weeks of 
treatment. For subjects who require 12 additional weeks of anticoagulation, the Day 28 and 
42 visits will be repeated at Days 105 and 126, respectively, and the Day 63 and 84 visits will 
be repeated at Days 147 and 168, respectively, followed by the 35-day follow up visit. 
Subjects receiving 12 additional weeks of investigational product will return on Day 126 and 
the remaining study medication should be dispensed at this visit in accordance with the 
procedures outlined for Day 42 (Section 6.4). 
5.2.4. Compliance 
Subjects should not be discontinued from the trial based solely on compliance. 
To facilitate investigational product (IP) compliance, sites where permissible may offer 
caregivers the option to work with a designated trained home healthcare worker or trained 
site staff for investigational product administration at home. This is not required for the 
study. Trained designated home healthcare workers provide additional guidance for dosing 
apixaban in children for the first dose at home or throughout the duration of the study if the 
caregiver and Investigator feels this would be beneficial. Sites should appropriately 
document when a home healthcare service is used for subject investigational product 
administration as directed by the Sponsor. For the neonate PK cohort, if the first dose is 
administered at home, the trained home healthcare worker or trained site staff will draw, 
collect and appropriately transport back to site the Day 1 PK collection procedures (as 
described in Section 7.4.1 Sampling Time Points and Section 7.2.2 for special requirements 
when a dried blood spot blood collection method is used). 
Apixaban 
Compliance based on pill count and volume of solution remaining will be performed by a 
qualified site staff member at each scheduled visit for subjects receiving apixaban. 
Compliance will be reinforced at each study visit and the importance should be reiterated at 
each telephone visit. Subjects must maintain adequate compliance with the investigational 
product regimen. If a discrepancy of more than 20% of doses exists since the last scheduled 
visit, the site staff should re-instruct the subject/caregiver on the importance of compliance 
with medical treatment for their disease and on the dosing regimen.

Standard of Care 
Compliance will be managed as usual and customary for each individual subject at that site. 
Compliance will be reinforced at each study visit. If a significant discrepancy with 
compliance exists since the last scheduled visit, the site staff should re-instruct the 
subject/legal guardian on the importance of compliance with medical treatment for their 
disease and on the dosing regimen. 
5.3. Drug Storage 
The investigator, or an approved representative, eg, pharmacist, will ensure that all 
investigational products are stored in a secured area with controlled access under 
recommended storage conditions and in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. 
Investigational product should be stored in its original container and in accordance with the 
drug label. 
Storage conditions stated in the Single Reference Safety Document (SRSD) will be 
superseded by the label storage. 
Site systems must be capable of measuring and documenting (for example, via a log), at a 
minimum, daily minimum and maximum temperatures for all site storage locations (as 
applicable, including frozen, refrigerated and/or room temperature products). This should be 
captured from the time of investigational product receipt throughout study. Even for 
continuous monitoring systems, a log or site procedure which ensures active daily evaluation 
for excursions should be available. The operation of the temperature monitoring device and 
storage unit (for example, refrigerator), as applicable, should be regularly inspected to ensure 
it is maintained in working order. 
Any excursions from the product label storage conditions should be reported to the Sponsor 
or Sponsor’s delegate upon discovery. The site should actively pursue options for returning 
the product to labeled storage conditions, as soon as possible. Deviations from the storage 
requirements, including any actions taken, must be documented and reported to the sponsor. 
Once an excursion is identified, the investigational product must be quarantined in required 
temperature conditions and not used until the sponsor provides documentation of permission 
to use the investigational product. Specific details regarding information the site should 
report for each excursion will be provided to the site. 
Site staff will instruct subjects/legally acceptable representatives on the storage requirements 
for take home medications including how to report temperature excursions. 
Drug storage for standard of care treatments will be based on local practice and as indicated 
in the drug label.

Day 168 ±7: 
The Investigator or designee will: 
• Perform targeted physical examination as described in Section 7.1 Physical 
Examination. 
• Conduct pregnancy test (WOCBP only). 
• Obtain blood samples for central clinical laboratory hematology and blood chemistry 
tests. To minimize blood sampling collected subjects <2 years of age may use local 
laboratory results for evaluation of hematology and blood chemistry. 
• Assess concomitant medication use. 
• Collect used and unused apixaban containers dispensed previously. 
• Assess compliance with study treatment. 
• Confirm and document use of contraception, if required according to Section 4.3 Life 
Style Guidelines. 
• Reassess the index event and all areas around the index event that were imaged 
initially based on the clinical assessment to account for the presence of any new 
asymptomatic thrombi. Provide documentation for this reassessment to the 
adjudication committee as soon as possible. Radiologic images that require sedation 
or radiation at the Day 168 (EOT) visits are not required and may be omitted, if not 
medically necessary. 
• Assess all adverse events. 
6.5. Follow-up Visit (35 Days ±5 After the EOT Visit) (Visit Window: EOT +30 to 
EOT +40) 
• See Section 6.3. 
6.6. Temporary Treatment Interruptions 
During the course of the study, situations might occur in which the investigator considers a 
temporary interruption of study drug treatment to be indicated (eg, lumbar puncture, catheter 
replacement, scheduled surgical procedure, thrombocytopenia, or elevated liver function 
tests). The treating physician should be made aware that when apixaban is administered at 
the protocol-specified doses, routine coagulation tests such as INR/prothrombin time (PT) 
and aPTT are relatively insensitive measures of activity and therefore may be unsuitable for 
monitoring. Dose interruptions for selected events are described in Table 4. For treatment 
interruptions ≥24 consecutive hours, the period of interruption should be noted, and the

investigator should document the following on the case report form (CRF): time of 
discontinuation and resumption of therapy, and the reason for discontinuation. If the 
treatment interruption is due to reasons other than the ones described in Table 4, a protocol 
deviation should be recorded. An adverse event (AE)/SAE should be reported, if applicable, 
and relatedness of the AE(s) will be determined by the investigator. For an individual 
subject, dose interruptions and treatment discontinuation may be more conservative than 
indicated below in Table 4, based on the clinical judgment of the investigator. Note that 
discontinuation of subjects from treatment is addressed in Section 6.7. 
Table 4. 
Temporary Dose Interruptions for Apixaban 
 
Event 
Apixaban 
Lumbar punctures 
(LPs) 
Apixaban should be held for at least 24 hours prior to any planned LP and will resume 
no earlier than 12 hours after the procedure. 
Scheduled surgical 
procedures 
Apixaban should be discontinued at least 48 hours prior to elective surgery or invasive 
procedures with a moderate or high risk of unacceptable or clinically significant 
bleeding. Apixaban should be discontinued at least 24 hours prior to elective surgery 
or invasive procedures with a low risk of bleeding or where the bleeding would be 
non-critical in location and easily controlled. 
If a subject participating in the study requires an elective procedure or surgery, the 
following considerations should be taken into account: The effective half-life of 
apixaban when administered twice daily is approximately 12 hours and it is expected 
that most of the anticoagulation effect will be gone within 24 hours after the last dose 
of the drug. Apixaban must be stopped for a sufficient period of time (eg, at least 
24 hours) prior to the procedure to minimize the risk of anticoagulant-related bleeding. 
The treating physician should be made aware that when apixaban is administered at the 
protocol-specified doses, routine coagulation tests such as INR/PT and aPTT are 
relatively insensitive measures of anticoagulation activity and are unsuitable for 
monitoring the anticoagulation effect of apixaban. The subject will be re-started on 
discontinued study medication once hemostasis is secure and when, in the opinion of 
the investigator, it is safe to do so. 
Thrombocytopenia. 
An AE/SAE should 
be reported if 
applicable 
There is no evidence-based guidelines for anticoagulation therapy in relation to platelet 
counts. In the absence of any other coagulopathy, the following guidelines are 
recommended during the course of the study period: 
• 
Full-dose apixaban therapy for subjects with platelet count ≥50×109 per L. 
• 
Withhold apixaban for platelet count <50×109 per L. 
Close monitoring of platelet count and careful watching for signs of bleeding are 
necessary. 
Elevated liver 
function tests. 
If at any time during the treatment period a subject’s liver function test (LFT) results 
show: 
An isolated elevation of either ALT/AST ≥5 x ULN AND/OR a direct (conjugated) 
bilirubin >2 x ULN, obtain the following laboratories: ALT, AST, total bilirubin, 
direct (conjugated) bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, GGT, CK as soon as possible 
(ie, within 3 days). 
If the repeat tests indicate: 
1. 
ALT <5 x ULN and direct (conjugated) bilirubin ≤2 x ULN, study medication 
may continue. 
An AE/SAE should 
be reported if 
applicable

6.7. Discontinuation of Subjects from Investigational Product 
Subjects MUST discontinue investigational product for any of the following reasons: 
• Withdrawal of informed consent (subject’s or guardian’s decision to withdraw for any 
reason). 
• Any clinical adverse event (AE), laboratory abnormality or intercurrent illness which, 
in the opinion of the investigator, indicates that continued participation in the study is 
not in the best interest of the subject. 
• Pregnancy. 
• Termination of the study by Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS)/Pfizer. 
• Loss of ability to freely provide consent (subject or guardian) through imprisonment 
or involuntary incarceration for treatment of either a psychiatric or physical 
(eg, infectious disease) illness.

• Thromboembolic event such as DVT, PE, cerebral sinovenous thrombosis or arterial 
thromboembolic event. 
• For the neonate PK cohort, if a 90% prediction interval cannot be achieved with 
either 0.1 mg daily or 0.2 mg twice daily, the subject will be discontinued from 
apixaban. 
In the case of pregnancy, the investigator must immediately notify the medical monitor of 
this event. Please refer to Section 8.4 for follow-up. The investigational product will be 
permanently discontinued in an appropriate manner. 
Once any study-specified thromboembolic or any major bleeding event endpoint is met, 
every effort must be made to confirm a suspected thromboembolic or bleeding event. 
Management of any asymptomatic or symptomatic events will be according to the local 
standards of practice. If study medication is discontinued for a suspected thromboembolic 
event, alternative anticoagulant therapy may be initiated per the Investigator’s discretion and 
standard of care. 
All subjects who discontinue investigational product (ie, are off protocol therapy) 
irrespective of reason, should remain in the study and complete the EOT visit and Safety 
Follow Up Visit, as described in the Schedule of Activities. The reason for the 
discontinuation must be documented in the subject’s medical records and a status page 
should be completed on the appropriate CRF page. 
The only exception to this requirement is when a subject/guardian withdraws consent for all 
study procedures including post-treatment study follow-up or loses the ability to consent 
freely (ie, is imprisoned or involuntarily incarcerated for the treatment of either a psychiatric 
or physical illness). The Medical Monitor and Study Director should be informed of these 
situations. 
Subjects/legally acceptable representatives may withdraw from the study at any time at their 
own request, or they may be withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the investigator or 
sponsor for safety or behavioral reasons, or the inability of the subject to comply with the 
protocol required schedule of study visits or procedures at a given study site. 
If a subject does not return for a scheduled visit, every effort should be made to contact the 
subject/legally acceptable representative. All attempts to contact the subject and information 
received during contact attempts must be documented in the subject’s medical record. In any 
circumstance, every effort should be made to document subject outcome, if possible. The 
investigator should inquire about the reason for withdrawal, request the subject/legally 
acceptable representative to return all unused investigational product(s), request the subject 
to return for a final visit, if applicable, and follow up with the subject/legally acceptable 
representative regarding any unresolved adverse events (AEs).

If the subject/legally acceptable representative withdraws from the study, and also withdraws 
consent for disclosure of future information, no further evaluations should be performed, and 
no additional data should be collected. The sponsor may retain and continue to use any data 
collected before such withdrawal of consent. 
6.8. Lost to Follow-up 
All reasonable efforts must be made to locate subjects to determine and report their ongoing 
status. This includes follow-up with persons authorized by the subject as noted above. Lost 
to follow-up is defined by the inability to reach the subject after a minimum of three 
documented phone calls, faxes, or emails as well as lack of response by subject to one 
registered mail letter. All attempts should be documented in the subject’s medical records. 
If it is determined that the subject has died, the site will use permissible local methods to 
obtain the date and cause of death. 
If investigator’s use of a third-party representative to assist in the follow-up portion of the 
study has been included in the subject’s informed consent, then the investigator may use a 
Sponsor-retained third-party representative to assist site staff with obtaining the subject’s 
contact information or other public vital status data necessary to complete the follow-up 
portion of the study. The site staff and representative will consult publicly available sources, 
such as public health registries and databases, in order to obtain updated contact information. 
If after all attempts, the subject remains lost to follow-up, then the last known alive date as 
determined by the investigator should be reported and documented in the subject’s medical 
records. 
7. ASSESSMENTS 
Every effort should be made to ensure that the protocol required tests and procedures are 
completed as described. However, it is anticipated that from time to time there may be 
circumstances, outside of the control of the investigator that may make it unfeasible to 
perform the test. In these cases, the investigator will take all steps necessary to ensure the 
safety and well-being of the subject. When a protocol required test cannot be performed, the 
investigator will document the reason for this and any corrective and preventive actions that 
he/she has taken to ensure that normal processes are adhered to as soon as possible. The 
study team will be informed of these incidents in a timely fashion. 
7.1. Physical Examination 
Physical exam, including vital signs (heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure) and 
physical measurements (height/body length and body weight) will be conducted at screening. 
Since dosing will be based on body weight, minimal clothing should be worn during the body 
weight measurement. 
Uncontrolled severe hypertension at randomization is an exclusion criterion and is defined as 
a systolic or diastolic blood pressure (BP) ≥99th percentile plus 5 mmHg as defined by the 
National High Blood Pressure Education Program Working Group (NHBPEP) established 
guidelines for the definition of normal and elevated blood pressures in children in 1987 and

updated in 2004. These children require a prompt evaluation and immediate pharmacologic 
treatment [NHBPEP, 2004].24 
Targeted physical examinations for evidence of bleeding will be performed at Day 14, 42, 
and 84 (EOT) visits and as clinically indicated. 
7.2. Blood Volume Collection 
7.2.1. For Subjects 28 Days of Age or Older 
The current total maximum potential blood sampling volume for individual subjects 
(ie, ≥28 days of age, and ≥4 kg weight) in this study is approximately 16.7 mL (this would 
include the optional 6-12 week extension visit for apixaban subjects only) for subjects 
randomized to apixaban and 9.3 mL for subjects randomized to SOC. Maximum blood 
volumes will be based on the child’s weight and in accordance with local thresholds. The 
actual collection times of blood sampling may change. INR may need to be repeated as per 
local site procedures for those subjects on standard of care (SOC). Additional blood samples 
may be taken for safety assessments at times specified by the Sponsor, provided the total 
volume taken during the study does not exceed 1% of the total blood volume (eg, 0.8 mL/kg) 
at a single instance and up to 3% (2.4 mL/kg) over a four-week period in accordance with the 
2008 version of the EU guidance titled, ‘Ethical Considerations for Clinical Trials on 
Medicinal Products with the Paediatric Population.’9 Table 5 summarizes the total blood 
volume that may be collected from a subject who is randomized to either Apixaban or SOC. 
7.2.2. For Neonates (≤27 days of age) 
Given the low body weight of neonates, and their low absolute circulating blood volume, 
special attention must be paid to the amount of blood drawn for neonates. For the neonates 
recruited into the study, prior to the completion of the neonate PK sub-analysis, it is expected 
that the maximum blood volume for the 3 apixaban PK blood samples will be ≤3 mL total. 
To mitigate excessive blood loss for the purposes of PK blood sampling, dried blood spot PK 
samples may be acquired in lieu of direct venous phlebotomy. Dried blood spot (DBS) 
analysis has been developed as a blood volume preservation option for neonates 
(approximately 45 microliters of blood per DBS sample). If DBS is the method of choice, a 
hematocrit result must have been drawn and available from a local laboratory within 
48-72 hours prior to the first PK sample timepoint (Day 1 for PK cohort, Day 14 for PK and 
post PK cohort). Further details of blood collection and processing will be provided to the 
site in a procedure manual. Additional blood samples may be taken for safety assessments at 
times specified by the Sponsor, provided the total volume taken during the study does not 
exceed 1% of the total blood volume (eg, 0.8 mL/kg) at a single instance and up to 3% 
(2.4 mL/kg) over a four-week period in accordance with the 2008 version of the EU guidance 
titled, ‘Ethical Considerations for Clinical Trials on Medicinal Products with the Paediatric 
Population.’9 Table 6 summarizes the total blood volume that may be collected from a 
subject who is randomized to either Apixaban or SOC.

7.3. Laboratory Assessments 
The following laboratory tests are required to satisfy the exclusion criteria for this study and 
should be analyzed by the local laboratory and reviewed prior to randomization: platelets, 
serum creatinine, eGFR, ALT, conjugated bilirubin, and pregnancy test when applicable. 
Only the most recent laboratory results, obtained within 7 days prior to randomization, may 
be used to satisfy this requirement. 
Blood samples for analysis by a central laboratory will be obtained during the Day 1 and 
Day 42 visits (and when applicable, Days 126 and 168) to establish baseline values and to 
assess safety. Note for subjects <2 years of age, local labs may be done in place of central 
laboratory tests and noted in the appropriate CRF to provide the required laboratory 
parameters for evaluation.

7.3.1. Platelet Assessment and Treatment Guidelines for Thrombocytopenia 
Platelet counts should be ≥50×109 per liter (L) prior to randomization. There are no 
evidence-based guidelines for anticoagulation therapy in relation to platelet counts. Close 
monitoring of platelet count and careful watching for signs of bleeding may be necessary in 
children with an anticipated drop in platelet count due to comorbid conditions and treatments. 
Apixaban 
In the absence of any other coagulopathy, the following guidelines are recommended during 
the course of the study period with apixaban: 
• Full-dose apixaban therapy for subjects with platelet count ≥50×109 per L; 
• Hold apixaban for platelet count <50×109 per L and restart when platelet count 
≥50x109 per L or presumed to be above this threshold following a platelet transfusion. 
Standard of Care 
SOC should be managed according to local practice. 
7.3.2. Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Assessment 
The enrollment criterion for eGFR will be estimated based on the Schwartz formula 
[Schwartz et al, 2009].27 
Inadequate renal function is defined as <30% of 1 standard deviation (SD) below normal 
GFR for age and size as determined by the Schwartz formula [eGFR 
(ml/min/1.73m2) = 0.413 * (height (cms)/serum creatinine (mg/dL) for ages up to 2 years. 
Beyond 2 years of age, the qualifying GFR for this study is ≥30 mL/min/1.73m2. If serum 
creatinine concentration is measured in SI units (umoles/L), divide this number by the 
conversion factor of 88.4 to get the SI units (mg/dL) before inserting into the Schwartz 
formula to calculate eGFR].

7.3.3. Pregnancy Testing 
For female subjects of childbearing potential, a serum or urine pregnancy test, with 
sensitivity of at least 25 mIU/mL, will be performed at screening, on Days 1, 14, 42, and at 
the end of treatment visit. Pregnancy tests will also be done whenever one menstrual cycle is 
missed during the active treatment period (or when potential pregnancy is otherwise 
suspected), repeated at visits on Day 14, Day 42 and at the end of the study to confirm the 
subject has not become pregnant during the study. A negative pregnancy result is required. 
In the case of a positive confirmed pregnancy, the subject on apixaban will be withdrawn 
from study medication and the subject on SOC will be managed per local practice, but in 
either case the subject may remain in the study. Pregnancy tests may also be repeated as per 
request of the institutional review board (IRB)/ethics committees (EC) or if required by local 
regulations.

Subjects on apixaban in Groups 1-4 will have PK/PD samples drawn during the Day 14 visit. 
On the day of the Day 14 visit, the subject will refrain from taking the apixaban dose until 
the pre-dose sample is drawn. After the sample is drawn, the subject will be administered the 
apixaban dose. A second PK/PD sample will be drawn between 2 and 4 hours after 
administration of the apixaban dose. All efforts will be made to obtain the PK/PD samples at 
the exact nominal time relative to dosing. In addition, the date and time of administration for 
the last 6 doses of apixaban prior to a pre-dose PK/PD sample on the day of the Day 14 visit 
will be recorded. Anti-FXa activity will be measured as a PD assessment using an aliquot 
from the plasma of the PK/PD sample. If DBS is the method of choice, a hematocrit result 
must have been drawn and available from a local laboratory within 48-72 hours prior to each 
PK sample timepoint (Day 1 for PK cohort, Day 14 and/or Day 42 for PK and post PK 
cohort). 
If one or both samples are not drawn during the Day 14 visit, then the procedure should be 
repeated at the Day 42 visit to obtain the missing sample(s). If viable samples are not 
obtained on Day 14 or Day 42, the site monitor should be notified.

If possible, blood samples for apixaban concentration and anti-FXa activity should be 
obtained within 24 hours of any major bleed or thrombotic event along with the time of the 
last dose prior to the event. 
Only for the apixaban treated neonates recruited into the study, prior to the completion of the 
neonate PK sub-analysis, PK samples will be drawn at 2-4, 12 ±1 and 24 ±1 hours after 
administration of the first apixaban dose of 0.1 mg on Day 1. The sample at 12- hour 
time-point should be collected prior to the second dose of apixaban on Day 1. The sample at 
24- hour time-point should be collected prior to the first dose of apixaban on Day 2. 
7.4.2. Plasma for Analysis of Apixaban Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Samples 
Samples will be analyzed for apixaban PK and anti-FXa activity using a validated analytical 
method in compliance with Pfizer standard operating procedures. 
Materials and detailed instructions for specimen collection, processing, storage, shipment and 
contact information will be provided to the site. 
7.5. Concomitant Medications 
Prior medications will be recorded at Screening and Day 1 (baseline) (any medications 
during the last 30 days) prior to randomization. Concomitant medications will be recorded at 
each study visit following the first dose of investigational product up to the end of treatment 
(EOT) visit as indicated in the Schedule of Activities. 
7.6. Adjudication of Safety and Efficacy Endpoints 
All components of primary efficacy and safety endpoint will be adjudicated by blinded, 
independent adjudication committee. 
There are four types of adjudication to be performed in this study as defined by the 
independent adjudication committee: 
• Potential Symptomatic Efficacy Events (Packaged as Adverse Event (AE)/Serious 
Adverse Event (SAE)): All recurrent Venous Thromboembolic Events (VTE), All 
Stroke Events. 
• Bleeding Events and Death Events: Major Bleeding, Clinically Relevant Non-Major 
Bleeding, Minor Bleeding, VTE Related Death, and All Cause Death. 
• Interval Studies (IS): Recurrent VTE defined as either contiguous progression or 
non-contiguous new thrombus. 
Further details on the adjudication process will be detailed in the Pfizer Adjudication Charter.

7.7. Bleeding Assessments 
All bleeding events will be adjudicated by a blinded, independent adjudication committee as 
major bleeding, clinically relevant non-major bleeding, or minor bleeding. These endpoints 
are consistent with those recommended by the International Society on Thrombosis and 
Haemostasis for pediatric clinical trials in venous thromboembolism [Mitchell LG, 2011].21 
The adjudication committee will maintain the actual definitions used for adjudication. 
Bleeding definitions are based on the Perinatal and Paediatric Haemostasis Subcommittee of 
the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) criteria, and are described 
as follows: 
Major bleeding is defined as bleeding that satisfies one or more of the following criteria: 
a (i) fatal bleeding; (ii) clinically overt bleeding associated with a decrease in Hgb of at least 
20 g/L (2 g/dL) in a 24-h period; (iii) bleeding that is retroperitoneal, pulmonary, intracranial, 
or otherwise involves the central nervous system; and (iv) bleeding that requires surgical 
intervention in an operating suite (including interventional radiology). 
Clinically relevant non-major bleeding is defined as bleeding that satisfies one or both of 
the following: (i) overt bleeding for which a blood product is administered, and which is not 
directly attributable to the subject’s underlying medical condition and (ii) bleeding that 
requires medical or surgical intervention to restore hemostasis, other than in an operating 
suite. 
Minor bleeding: is defined as any overt or macroscopic evidence of bleeding that does not 
fulfill the above criteria for either major bleeding or clinically relevant, non-major bleeding. 
Although menstrual bleeding may result in a medical consultation and/or intervention, this 
will be classified as a minor bleeding event rather than clinically relevant non-major bleeding 
event. 
All bruising events are reportable as a bleeding event. 
All bleeding events and their supporting documentation MUST be sent for adjudication. 
7.7.1. Treatment Guidelines for Bleeding/Suspected Bleeding 
Subjects with bleeding or suspected bleeding should undergo confirmatory laboratory or 
other testing [eg, ultrasound (US), computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance 
imaging (MRI)], as indicated clinically. The date and time of the onset of the bleeding event 
will be recorded on the CRF. 
The specific treatment for bleeding with SOC or apixaban is left to the discretion of the 
investigator and/or the attending physician based on the medical status of the subject and/or 
institutional policies. Table 7 provides information for the treatment of bleeding or suspected 
bleeding in subjects treated with apixaban.

Treatment Guidelines for Bleeding/Suspected Bleeding in Subjects Treated 
with Apixaban 
 
Minor Bleeding 
Apixaban may or may not be held based on an individualized benefit-risk assessment 
Clinically relevant 
non-major bleeding 
Apixaban should be held. 
The following treatment measures may be considered: 
• 
Identify the source and institute local measures to stop the bleeding; 
• 
Perform laboratory test monitoring (eg, hemoglobin, INR, aPTT, platelet 
count, anti-Factor Xa activity); 
• 
Monitor apixaban using an anti-Factor Xa assay rather than the more 
standard coagulation tests (eg, INR, aPTT) which are less sensitive to 
apixaban; 
• 
If bleeding occurs up to 6 hours after apixaban dosing, administer activated 
charcoal oral solution to reduce apixaban plasma exposure; 
• 
Institute appropriate symptomatic treatment (eg, mechanical compression, 
surgical intervention, fluid replacement and hemodynamic support, blood 
product or component transfusion); 
• 
For bleeding that does not respond to local measures, administer fresh frozen 
plasma (FFP) as a supportive measure, recognizing that FFP does not reverse the 
anticoagulant effects of apixaban. 
Major Bleeding 
Apixaban should be held. 
The following treatment measures may be considered. 
• 
Administer recombinant Factor VIIa, however, there is no experience with 
this agent in apixaban-treated subjects. Its effectiveness for counteracting 
the effects of apixaban is not known. 
• 
Administer activated prothrombin complex concentrate (aPCC) or 
prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC, also referred to as factor IX 
concentrate), but considering the variety of formulations available and the 
complexity of dosing, the decision to employ aPCC or PCC should be made 
by an experienced clinician with careful evaluation of the risks and benefits. 
• 
If bleeding occurs up to 6 hours after apixaban dosing, administer activated 
charcoal oral solution to reduce apixaban plasma exposure. 
Alternate treatments such as recombinant Factor VIIa have not been well evaluated in the 
pediatric population. There are few randomized clinical trials of recombinant Factor VIIa 
(rFVIIa, NovoSeven) and approved anticoagulant therapies [Bijsterveld et al, 2002; 
Bijsterveld et al, 2004; Smith, 2002; Lankiewicz et al, 2006; Levi et al, 2010; Kessler, 2006; 
Leissinger et al, 2008].5,6,28,15,17,13,16 There is no experience with rFVIIa and apixaban in 
adults or pediatrics. Some experts have recommended the use of prothrombin complex 
concentrate (PCC, also referred to as Factor IX concentrate) for reversal of anticoagulants 
such as warfarin. There are few randomized clinical trials in this area, but observational

studies and some guidelines are cited in support of this approach. There are a variety of PCC 
formulations available, which differ in their concentration of clotting factors (II, VII, IX 
and X). Dosing depends on body weight, the formulation of PCC employed, the degree of 
anticoagulation (INR), the clinical picture and whether concomitant FFP is also administered. 
Thrombotic events have been reported with PCC use. Given the complexity of the dosing 
and the risks involved, it is recommended that the decision to employ a PCC for warfarin 
associated hemorrhage be made by an experienced clinician with careful evaluation of the 
risks and benefits. There are no data regarding the use of PCC for treatment of apixaban 
related hemorrhage. 
The effect of activated charcoal on the pharmacokinetics of apixaban in healthy subjects was 
assessed in a Phase 1 clinical trial (CV185104). Administration of activated charcoal 2 and 
6 hours after ingestion of a single oral dose of 20 mg apixaban reduced apixaban exposure 
(AUC) by approximately 50% and 27%, respectively. These data indicate that activated 
charcoal may be useful in managing exposure to apixaban several hours after apixaban 
administration. 
7.8. Efficacy Assessments 
The primary efficacy endpoint is the adjudicated composite of: (i) all image-confirmed and 
adjudicated symptomatic and asymptomatic recurrent VTE defined as either contiguous 
progression or non-contiguous new thrombus and including, but not limited to, DVT, PE and 
paradoxical embolism and (ii) VTE-related mortality. This endpoint is consistent with that 
recommended by the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis for pediatric 
clinical trials in venous thromboembolism [Mitchell LG, 2011].21 All components of the 
primary efficacy endpoint will be adjudicated by a blinded, independent adjudication 
committee. 
Subjects will be assessed for signs or symptoms of VTE (eg, swelling, localized pain, 
redness, heat, localized warmth, unexplained shortness of breath, chest pain that gets worse 
with a deep breath, coughing or chest movement or coughing up blood) throughout the 
course of the study (inclusive of treatment and follow-up periods). If signs and symptoms 
are present, then subjects will undergo a diagnostic examination to confirm recurrence of 
VTE. Suspected VTE that occurs at any time after enrollment should also be reported as an 
AE or a SAE. All VTE will be adjudicated by an independent central adjudication 
committee in a blinded manner. 
Materials and detailed instructions for completing and submitting the required documentation 
to the adjudication committee will be provided to the sites. Investigators are encouraged to 
send the dossier to the adjudication committee for assessment within 2 weeks of awareness of 
the suspected outcome occurrence.

7.8.1. Imaging Assessments 
• Children 2 years to <18 years: In addition to the radiologic images obtained to 
confirm the index event, new radiologic images of the index clot site will be obtained 
during the midpoint of the study (Day 42 ± 14 days), and at the end of treatment visit 
(Day 84 ± 7 days). If applicable, radiologic images may be obtained at Days 126 
(EOT) or Day 168 (EOT) (refer to the Extension Phase SOA). At the midpoint and 
end of treatment visits, the investigator will reassess the index event and all areas 
around the index event that were scanned initially based on the clinical assessment, to 
account for the presence of any new asymptomatic clots. At the midpoint (Day 42) 
and end of treatment (Day 84) visits, radiologic images that require sedation or 
radiation are not required and may be omitted, if not medically necessary. In 
addition, when medically appropriate, new radiologic images will be obtained if 
recurrent VTE is suspected. All assessments obtained in the evaluation of 
symptomatic or asymptomatic recurrent VTEs will be adjudicated. 
• Children < 2 years of age: For neonates (birth to ≤27 days) and children 28 days to 
<2 years of age, if the treatment duration is <12 weeks, a midpoint image may be 
omitted at the discretion of the Investigator. 
• Additional imaging assessments can be performed at the discretion of the Investigator 
at any time during the study. 
The study does not prohibit further monitoring via radiologic images as part of standard 
practice for the care of the patient. 
7.8.2. Criteria for Thrombus Review by Adjudication Committee 
The following criteria will be used during the adjudication of all submitted new or recurrent 
VTE: 
• “Resolution”: Complete disappearance of the thrombus compared to the index event. 
• “Regression”: Unequivocal decrease (>50%) of the total volume/mass of the 
thrombus compared to the index event. 
• “Unchanged”: No significant change in the extent (defined as <=50% change in 
volume/mass) or location of the thrombus compared to the index event. 
• “Recurrence-Contiguous”: Unequivocal increase (>50%) of the total volume/mass of 
the thrombus compared to the index event. 
• “Recurrence-New”: 
• Thrombus resolution followed by new thrombus formation in the same location as 
the index event; or

• New non-contiguous thrombus formation in a different location as the index 
event. 
• “Indeterminate/Non-Diagnostic Study”: 
• Thrombus present but due to poor image quality or incomplete imaging cannot 
determine if the thrombus is present due to poor image quality or incomplete 
imaging. 
The full adjudication process and criteria for thrombus review is details in the Pfizer 
Adjudication Charter. 
7.9. Palatability Assessment 
For subjects receiving apixaban, palatability will be assessed at the Day 14 study visit. The 
assessment will be administered to the subject and/or legal guardian in the form of a 
questionnaire. 
8. ADVERSE EVENTS 
An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of 
a preexisting medical condition in a clinical investigation subject administered study drug 
(investigational product) and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this 
treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (such as an 
abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of 
study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug. 
 
GRADE 
If required on the AE page of the CRF, the investigator will use the adjectives 
MILD, MODERATE, SEVERE, LIFE-THREATENING or DEATH to 
describe the maximum intensity of the AE. For purposes of consistency, these 
intensity grades are defined as follows: 
1 
MILD 
Does not interfere with participant’s usual function. 
2 
MODERATE 
Interferes to some extent with participant’s usual 
function. 
3 
SEVERE 
Interferes significantly with participant’s usual 
function. 
4 
LIFE-THREATENING 
Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention 
indicated. 
5 
DEATH 
Results in death.

The causal relationship to study drug is determined by a physician and should be used to 
assess all adverse events (AE). The causal relationship can be one of the following: 
• Related: There is a reasonable causal relationship between study drug administration 
and the AE. 
• Not related: There is not a reasonable causal relationship between study drug 
administration and the AE. 
The term "reasonable causal relationship" means there is evidence to suggest a causal 
relationship. 
Adverse events can be spontaneously reported or elicited during open-ended questioning, 
examination, or evaluation of a subject (In order to prevent reporting bias, subjects should 
not be questioned regarding the specific occurrence of one or more AEs). 
8.1. Serious Adverse Events 
A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: 
• Results in death; 
• Is life-threatening (defined as an event in which the subject was at risk of death at the 
time of the event; it does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have 
caused death if it were more severe); 
• Requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization 
(see NOTE below); 
• Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; 
• Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; 
• Is an important medical event (defined as a medical event(s) that may not be 
immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but, based upon 
appropriate medical and scientific judgment, may jeopardize the subject or may 
require intervention [eg, medical, surgical] to prevent one of the other serious 
outcomes listed in the definition above). Examples of such events include, but are not 
limited to, intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic 
bronchospasm; blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in hospitalization). 
Potential drug induced liver injury (DILI) is also considered an important medical 
event. (See Section 8.7 for the definition of potential DILI). 
Suspected transmission of an infectious agent (eg, pathogenic or nonpathogenic) via the 
study drug is an SAE.

Although pregnancy, overdose, cancer, and potential drug induced liver injury (DILI) are not 
always serious by regulatory definition, these events must be handled as SAEs. (See 
Section 8.1.1 for reporting pregnancies). 
Any component of a study endpoint that is considered related to study therapy (eg, death is 
an endpoint, if death occurred due to anaphylaxis, anaphylaxis must be reported) should be 
reported as SAE (see Section 8.1.1 for reporting details). 
NOTE: 
The following hospitalizations are not considered SAEs in this study: 
• A visit to the emergency room or other hospital department <24 hours, that does not 
result in admission (unless considered an important medical or life-threatening event); 
• Elective surgery, planned prior to signing consent; 
• Admissions as per protocol for a planned medical/surgical procedure; 
• Routine health assessment requiring admission for baseline/trending of health status 
(eg, routine colonoscopy); 
• Medical/surgical admission other than to remedy ill health and planned prior to entry 
into the study. Appropriate documentation is required in these cases; 
• Admission encountered for another life circumstance that carries no bearing on health 
status and requires no medical/surgical intervention (eg, lack of housing, economic 
inadequacy, caregiver respite, family circumstances, administrative reason); 
• Admission for administration of anticancer therapy in the absence of any other SAEs 
(applies to oncology protocols). 
8.1.1. Serious Adverse Event Collection and Reporting 
Sections 5.6.1 and 5.6.2 in the Investigator Brochure (IB) represent the Reference Safety 
Information to determine expectedness of serious adverse events for expedited reporting. 
Following the subject’s written consent to participate in the study, all SAEs, whether related 
or not related to study drug, must be collected, including those thought to be associated with 
protocol-specified procedures. All SAEs must be collected that occur during the screening 
period and up to the follow-up visit (35 ±5 days after the EOT visit). 
The investigator must also report any SAE that occurs after these time periods and that is 
believed to be related to study drug or protocol-specified procedure. 
An SAE report must be completed for any event where doubt exists regarding its seriousness.

If the investigator believes that an SAE is not related to study drug, but is potentially related 
to the conditions of the study (such as withdrawal of previous therapy, or a complication of a 
study procedure), the relationship must be specified in the narrative section of the SAE 
Report Form. 
SAEs, whether related or not related to study drug, SAE updates with follow-up 
information and pregnancies must be reported to BMS (or designee) within 24 hours 
of awareness of the event. SAEs and all SAE updates with follow-up information 
must be recorded on the SAE Report Form and submitted to BMS (or designee); 
pregnancies must be reported on a Pregnancy Surveillance Form (electronic or paper 
forms) and submitted to BMS (or designee). 
SAEs must also be reported as Adverse Events in the electronic Case Report Form 
(eCRF) and the event marked as ‘serious’. Recording an Adverse Event and marking 
it ‘serious’ in the eCRF is not a substitute for reporting the SAE as described above. 
SAE Email Address: Refer to Contact Information list. 
SAE Facsimile Number: Refer to Contact Information list. 
In all cases, an SAE Reporting Form must be submitted as directed above. For studies 
capturing SAEs through electronic data capture (EDC), electronic submission is the required 
method for reporting. In the event the electronic system is unavailable for transmission paper 
forms must be used and submitted immediately. When paper forms are used, the original 
paper forms are to remain on site. 
SAE Telephone Contact (required for SAE and pregnancy reporting): Refer to Contact 
Information list. 
If only limited information is initially available, follow-up reports are required. 
(Note: Follow-up SAE reports must include the same investigator term(s) initially reported). 
If an ongoing SAE changes in its intensity or relationship to study drug or if new information 
becomes available, the SAE report must be updated and submitted within 24 hours to BMS 
(or designee) using the same procedure used for transmitting the initial SAE report. 
All SAEs must be followed to resolution or stabilization. 
8.2. Nonserious Adverse Events 
A nonserious adverse event is an AE not classified as serious. 
8.2.1. Nonserious Adverse Event Collection and Reporting 
The collection of nonserious AE information should begin at initiation of study drug. 
Nonserious AE information should also be collected from the start of a placebo lead-in 
period or other observational period intended to establish a baseline status for the subjects.

Nonserious AEs should be followed to resolution or stabilization, or reported as SAEs if they 
become serious (see Section 8.1.1). Follow-up is also required for nonserious AEs that cause 
interruption or discontinuation of study drug and for those present at the end of study 
treatment as appropriate. All identified nonserious AEs must be recorded and described on 
the nonserious AE page of the CRF (paper or electronic). Completion of supplemental CRFs 
may be requested for AEs and/or laboratory abnormalities that are reported/identified during 
the course of the study. 
8.3. Laboratory Test Result Abnormalities 
The following laboratory test result abnormalities should be captured on the nonserious AE 
CRF page or SAE Report Form (paper or electronic) and the AE CRF page as appropriate: 
• Any laboratory test result that is clinically significant or meets the definition of an 
SAE. 
• Any laboratory test result abnormality that required the subject to have study drug 
discontinued or interrupted. 
• Any laboratory test result abnormality that required the subject to receive specific 
corrective therapy. 
It is expected that wherever possible, the clinical rather than laboratory term would be used 
by the reporting investigator (eg, anemia versus low hemoglobin value). 
8.4. Pregnancy 
If, following initiation of the study drug, it is subsequently discovered that a study subject is 
pregnant or may have been pregnant at the time of study exposure, including during at least 
5 half-lives after product administration (3 days) plus 30 days for a total of 33 days, the 
investigator must immediately notify the Medical Monitor/designee of this event and 
complete and forward a Pregnancy Surveillance Form within 24 hours of awareness of the 
event and in accordance with SAE reporting procedures described in Section 8.1.1. 
The study drug will be permanently discontinued in an appropriate manner. 
Other appropriate pregnancy follow-up procedures should be considered if indicated. 
The investigator must immediately notify the Medical Monitor of this event and complete 
and forward a Pregnancy Surveillance Form within 24 hours of awareness of the event and in 
accordance with SAE reporting procedures described in Section 8.1.1. 
Follow-up information regarding the course of the pregnancy, including perinatal and 
neonatal outcome and, where applicable, offspring information must be reported on the 
Pregnancy Surveillance Form. 
Any pregnancy that occurs in a female partner of a male study participant should be reported. 
Information on this pregnancy will be collected on the Pregnancy Surveillance Form.

8.5. Medication Error 
A medication error is any: 
• Unintentional error in the prescribing. 
• Dispensing or administration of a medicinal product that may cause or lead to 
inappropriate medication use or patient harm while in the control of the health care 
professional, patient or consumer. 
The following are medication errors for Apixaban ONLY: 
• Missed doses due to misunderstanding of the dosing schedule (ie, QD instead of 
BID). 
• Four or more consecutive missed doses. 
• A consistent dosing schedule outside of BID (ie, QD, TID, QID), unless otherwise 
directed. 
• A consistent dose above or below that which was prescribed based on IRT. 
• Extending the Week 1 dosing beyond Week 1. 
8.6. Overdose 
All occurrences of overdose must be reported as SAEs (see Section 8.1.1 for reporting

If the repeat tests indicate: 
1. ALT <5 x ULN and direct (conjugated) bilirubin ≤2 x ULN, study medication may 
continue. 
2. If the repeat ALT/AST ≥5 x ULN AND/OR the direct (conjugated) bilirubin is 
>2 x ULN, the study medication must be interrupted. 
The study medication must be interrupted if: 
• Clinical jaundice is present for a subject at any time unless there is an alternative 
causative factor such as Gilbert or Dubin-Johnson syndrome. 
OR 
• If ALT/AST ≥5 x ULN on any two consecutive occasions. 
OR 
• Direct (conjugated) bilirubin >2 x ULN on any two consecutive occasions. 
All subjects with an ALT/AST ≥5 x ULN or direct (conjugated) bilirubin >2 x ULN will be 
followed weekly until ALT/AST returns to <3 x ULN or to baseline, and the direct 
(conjugated) bilirubin returns to ≤1.5 x ULN or to baseline. 
If study medication is discontinued due to elevated ALT/AST OR BILIRUBIN, as defined 
above, inform the medical Monitor and Study Director and perform the following: 
• PT, aPTT, fibrinogen to assess liver synthetic function; 
• Abdominal ultrasound, including liver and hepatobiliary system; 
• Hepatitis screen (anti-HAV, HBsAg, anti-HBc, anti-HBs and anti-HCV); 
• Obtain relevant specialist consultation. 
8.8. Other Safety Considerations 
Any significant worsening noted during interim or final physical examinations, 
electrocardiogram, x-ray filming, any other potential safety assessment required or not 
required by protocol should also be recorded as a nonserious or serious AE, as appropriate, 
and reported accordingly.

9. DATA ANALYSIS/STATISTICAL METHODS 
Detailed methodology for summary and statistical analyses of the data collected in this trial 
will be documented in an Analysis Plan, which will be maintained by the sponsor. This 
document may modify the plans outlined in the protocol; however, any major modifications 
of the primary endpoint definition and/or its analysis will also be reflected in a protocol 
amendment. 
Efficacy and safety outcomes will be presented using descriptive statistics including but not 
limited to means and standard deviations for continuous variables along with counts and 
frequencies for discrete variables. 
9.1. Sample Size Determination 
This is a descriptive study, and there is no formal pre-defined hypothesis testing. Therefore, 
there is no power calculation for the sample size determination. Throughout the trial, the 
study team, in conjunction with regulators (ie, Food and Drug Administration [FDA]), will 
evaluate exposure duration, imaging results, and other aspects of the trial to determine if the 
data from the subjects in the trial are sufficient to address the objectives of the trial. It is 
expected that a sample size up to 250, increased from an original sample size of 150, is 
needed in order to provide a reasonable safety and pharmacokinetic database in pediatric 
subjects. A target of 30 subjects will be randomized into each of the following three age 
groups: (1) 12 to <18 years; (2) 2 to <12 years; (3) 28 days to <2 years. For age group 4, 
neonates (birth to ≤27 days), the sample size may be adjusted based on a PK sub-analysis 
that will be performed using initial neonatal data to confirm an apixaban fixed dosing 
regimen for neonates as described in a separate analysis plan. The number of neonates on 
apixaban will not exceed 20 subjects. 
9.2. Efficacy Analysis 
Appropriate summary statistics as described at the beginning of this section will be presented 
for all efficacy endpoints. A summary of overall results along with summaries for each of 
the age group will be presented. The neonates who are enrolled under amendment 8 without 
2 to 1 randomization will be excluded in the overall population efficacy endpoints analyses. 
9.2.1. Analysis of Primary Endpoint 
There is no planned hypothesis testing for primary endpoint. Primary endpoint will be 
summarized by treatment group. The event rates and their corresponding 95% confidence 
intervals will be presented for each treatment group. 
9.2.2. Analysis of Secondary Endpoints 
There is no planned hypothesis testing for secondary endpoint. Secondary endpoints will be 
summarized by treatment group. The event rates and their corresponding 95% confidence 
intervals will be presented for each treatment group.

9.3. Safety Analysis 
There is no planned hypothesis testing for the primary safety endpoint. The primary safety 
endpoint will be the incidence of adjudicated major or clinically relevant non-major bleeding. 
Each type of adjudicated bleeding will be summarized using counts and frequencies in each 
treatment group. 
9.4. Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Analyses 
The PK analysis population is defined as all subjects randomized to and treated with 
apixaban who have at least 1 concentration of apixaban. The PD analysis population is 
defined as all subjects randomized to and treated with apixaban who have at least 1 apixaban 
concentration and 1 corresponding anti-FXa activity measure. 
A population PK (PPK) model will be developed for plasma concentration versus time data 
using nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NONMEM, Icon Development Solutions, USA). 
Model-derived population and individual PK parameters (eg, CL/F, Vc/F, KA) will be used 
to estimate Cmax, Cmin, and AUC in each subject. A PPK-PD model will be also developed 
for apixaban plasma concentration and measured anti-FXa activity versus time data. 
Model-derived population and individual parameters (eg, slope of anti-FXa activity vs 
apixaban concentration relationship) will be used to estimate maximum and minimum 
anti-FXa activity in each subject. 
Details of the analyses will be described in a separate population PK/PD modeling analysis 
plan document and results will be presented in a separate population PK/PD report. 
For Age Group 4, a PK sub-analysis will be performed using initial neonatal data to confirm 
an apixaban fixed dosing regimen for neonates as described in a separate analysis plan. This 
analysis will be performed to confirm a fixed dose regimen of apixaban in neonates, which 
achieves an exposure similar to the adult approved regimen of 10 mg twice daily for 7 days 
followed by 5 mg twice daily. 
9.5. Interim Analysis 
There is an interim analysis planned in this study. The interim analysis will be performed 
when all randomized subjects in age Groups 1, 2 and 3 have completed the required minimal 
treatment periods or have discontinued from the study. The objective of this interim analysis 
is to provide an interim clinical study report for age Groups 1, 2, and 3 while age Group 4 
continues to enroll the targeted number of subjects. 
9.6. Data Monitoring Committee 
This study will use an EDMC. The EDMC will be responsible for ongoing monitoring of the 
efficacy and safety of subjects in the study according to the EDMC Charter. Apixaban PK 
data will be reviewed periodically by the Sponsor and will be provided to the EDMC at its 
request. The recommendations made by the EDMC to alter the conduct of the study will be 
forwarded to Pfizer for final decision. Pfizer will forward such decisions, which may include 
summaries of aggregate analyses of endpoint events and of safety data which are not 
endpoints, to regulatory authorities, as appropriate.

10. QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE 
During study conduct, Pfizer or its agent will conduct periodic monitoring visits to ensure 
that the protocol and Good Clinical Practices (GCPs) are being followed. The monitors may 
review source documents to confirm that the data recorded on CRFs is accurate. The 
investigator and institution will allow Pfizer monitors/auditors or its agents and appropriate 
regulatory authorities direct access to source documents to perform this verification. 
The study site may be subject to review by the Institutional Review Board (IRB)/ Ethics 
Committee (EC), and/or to quality assurance audits performed by Pfizer, or companies 
working with or on behalf of Pfizer, and/or to inspection by appropriate regulatory 
authorities. 
It is important that the investigator(s) and their relevant personnel are available during the 
monitoring visits and possible audits or inspections and that sufficient time is devoted to the 
process. 
11. DATA HANDLING AND RECORD KEEPING 
11.1. Case Report Forms/Electronic Data Record 
As used in this protocol, the term CRF should be understood to refer to either a paper form or 
an electronic data record or both, depending on the data collection method used in this study. 
A CRF is required and should be completed for each included subject. The completed 
original CRFs are the sole property of Pfizer and should not be made available in any form to 
third parties, except for authorized representatives of Pfizer or appropriate regulatory 
authorities, without written permission from Pfizer. 
The investigator has ultimate responsibility for the collection and reporting of all clinical, 
safety and laboratory data entered on the CRFs and any other data collection forms (source 
documents) and ensuring that they are accurate, authentic/original, attributable, complete, 
consistent, legible, timely (contemporaneous), enduring and available when required. The 
CRFs must be signed by the investigator or by an authorized staff member to attest that the 
data contained on the CRFs is true. Any corrections to entries made in the CRFs or source 
documents must be dated, initialed and explained (if necessary) and should not obscure the 
original entry. 
In most cases, the source documents are the hospital's or the physician's subject chart. In 
these cases, data collected on the CRFs must match the data in those charts. 
In some cases, the CRF, or part of the CRF, may also serve as source documents. In these 
cases, a document should be available at the investigator’s site as well as at Pfizer and clearly 
identify those data that will be recorded in the CRF, and for which the CRF will stand as the 
source document.

11.2. Record Retention 
To enable evaluations and/or audits from regulatory authorities or Pfizer, the investigator 
agrees to keep records, including the identity of all participating subjects (sufficient 
information to link records, eg, CRFs and hospital records), all original signed informed 
consent documents, copies of all CRFs, safety reporting forms, source documents, and 
detailed records of treatment disposition, and adequate documentation of relevant 
correspondence (eg, letters, meeting minutes, telephone calls reports). The records should be 
retained by the investigator according to International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH), 
according to local regulations, or as specified in the Clinical Study Agreement (CSA), 
whichever is longer. 
If the investigator becomes unable for any reason to continue to retain study records for the 
required period (eg, retirement, relocation), Pfizer should be prospectively notified. The 
study records must be transferred to a designee acceptable to Pfizer, such as another 
investigator, another institution, or to an independent third party arranged by Pfizer. 
Investigator records must be kept for a minimum of 15 years after completion or 
discontinuation of the study or for longer if required by applicable local regulations. 
The investigator must obtain Pfizer's written permission before disposing of any records, 
even if retention requirements have been met. 
12. ETHICS 
12.1. Institutional Review Board (IRB)/ Ethics Committee (EC) 
It is the responsibility of the investigator to have prospective approval of the study protocol, 
protocol amendments, informed consent documents, and other relevant documents, 
eg, recruitment advertisements, if applicable, from the IRB/EC. All correspondence with the 
IRB/EC should be retained in the Investigator File. Copies of IRB/EC approvals should be 
forwarded to Pfizer. 
The only circumstance in which an amendment may be initiated prior to IRB/EC approval is 
where the change is necessary to eliminate apparent immediate hazards to the subjects. In 
that event, the investigator must notify the IRB/EC and Pfizer in writing immediately after 
the implementation. 
12.2. Ethical Conduct of the Study 
The study will be conducted in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements, as well as 
the general principles set forth in the International Ethical Guidelines for Biomedical 
Research Involving Human Subjects (Council for International Organizations of Medical 
Sciences 2002), Guidelines for GCP (ICH 1996), and the Declaration of Helsinki (World 
Medical Association 1996 and 2008). 
In addition, the study will be conducted in accordance with the protocol, the ICH guideline 
on GCP, and applicable local regulatory requirements and laws.

12.3. Subject Information and Consent 
All parties will ensure protection of subject personal data and will not include subject names 
or other identifiable data in any reports, publications, or other disclosures, except where 
required by law. 
When study data is compiled for transfer to Pfizer and other authorized parties, subject 
names, addresses, and other identifiable data will be replaced by a numerical code consisting 
of a numbering system provided by Pfizer in order to de-identify study subjects. The study 
site will maintain a confidential list of subjects who participated in the study linking their 
numerical code to the subject’s actual identity. In case of data transfer, Pfizer will maintain 
high standards of confidentiality and protection of subject personal data consistent with 
applicable privacy laws. 
In advance of a clinical trial, sponsors, researchers and host country governments should 
make provisions for post-trial access for all participants who still need an intervention 
identified as beneficial in the study. This information should also be disclosed to participants 
during the informed consent process. All study participants should be informed about the 
outcome of the study. 
The informed consent/assent documents must be in compliance with ICH GCP, local 
regulatory requirements, and legal requirements, including applicable privacy laws. 
The informed consent/assent documents used during the informed consent process must be 
reviewed by the sponsor, approved by the IRB/EC before use, and available for inspection. 
The investigator must ensure that each study subject, or his or her legally acceptable 
representative, or parent(s) or legal guardian if a minor, is fully informed about the nature 
and objectives of the study and possible risks associated with participation. 
Whenever consent is obtained from a subject’s legally acceptable representative/parent(s) or 
legal guardian, the subject’s assent (affirmative agreement) must subsequently be obtained 
when the subject has the capacity to provide assent, as determined by the IRB/EC. If the 
investigator determines that a subject’s decisional capacity is so limited, he/she cannot 
reasonably be consulted, as permitted by the IRB/EC and consistent with local regulatory and 
legal requirements, then the subject’s assent may be waived with source documentation of 
the reason assent was not obtained. If the study subject does not provide his/her own 
consent, the source documents must record why the subject did not provide consent 
(eg, minor, decisionally impaired adult), how the investigator determined that the person 
signing the consent was the subject’s legally acceptable representative, the consent signer’s 
relationship to the study subject (eg, parent, spouse) and that the subject’s assent was 
obtained, or waived. If assent is obtained verbally it must be documented in the source 
documents.

If the study includes minor subjects who reach the age of majority during the study, as 
recognized under local law, they must be re-consented as adults to remain in the study. If the 
enrollment of ‘emancipated minors’ is permitted by the study age criteria, the IRB/EC, and 
local law, they must provide documentation of legal status to give consent without the 
permission of a parent or legal guardian. 
The investigator, or a person designated by the investigator, will obtain written informed 
consent from each subject or the subject's legally acceptable representative, parent(s) or legal 
guardian and the subject’s assent, when applicable, before any study-specific activity is 
performed, unless a waiver of informed consent has been granted by an IRB/EC. The 
investigator will retain the original of each subject's signed consent/assent document. 
12.4. Subject Recruitment 
Advertisements and recruitment materials approved by ethics committees and investigator 
databases may be used as recruitment procedures. 
12.5. Reporting of Safety Issues and Serious Breaches of the Protocol or ICH GCP 
In the event of any prohibition or restriction imposed (ie, clinical hold) by an applicable 
Competent Authority in any area of the world, or if the investigator is aware of any new 
information which might influence the evaluation of the benefits and risks of the 
investigational product, Pfizer should be informed immediately. 
In addition, the investigator will inform Pfizer immediately of any urgent safety measures 
taken by the investigator to protect the study subjects against any immediate hazard, and of 
any serious breaches of this protocol or of ICH GCP that the investigator becomes aware of. 
13. DEFINITION OF END OF TRIAL 
13.1. End of Trial in a Member State 
End of Trial in a Member State of the European Union is defined as the time at which it is 
deemed that sufficient number of subjects have been recruited and completed the study as 
stated in the regulatory application (ie, Clinical Trial Application (CTA)) and ethics 
application in the Member State. Poor recruitment (recruiting less than the anticipated 
number in the CTA) by a Member State is not a reason for premature termination but is 
considered a normal conclusion to the study in that Member State. 
13.2. End of Trial in all other Participating Countries 
End of Trial in all other participating countries is defined as last subject last visit (LSLV). 
14. SPONSOR DISCONTINUATION CRITERIA 
Premature termination of this study may occur because of a regulatory authority decision, 
change in opinion of the IRB/IEC, drug safety problems, or at the discretion of Pfizer. In 
addition, Pfizer retains the right to discontinue development of apixaban at any time.

If a study is prematurely terminated or discontinued, Pfizer will promptly notify the 
investigator. After notification, the investigator must contact all participating 
subjects/caregivers and the hospital pharmacy (if applicable) within 7 days. As directed by 
Pfizer, all study materials must be collected and all CRFs completed to the greatest extent 
possible. 
15. PUBLICATION OF STUDY RESULTS 
15.1. Communication of Results by Pfizer 
Pfizer fulfills its commitment to publicly disclose clinical trial results through posting the 
results of studies on www.clinicaltrials.gov (ClinicalTrials.gov), the European Clinical Trials 
Database (EudraCT), and/or www.pfizer.com, and other public registries in accordance with 
applicable local laws/regulations. 
In all cases, study results are reported by Pfizer in an objective, accurate, balanced, and 
complete manner and are reported regardless of the outcome of the study or the country in 
which the study was conducted. 
www.clinicaltrials.gov 
Pfizer posts clinical trial United States Basic Results on www.clinicaltrials.gov for 
Pfizer-sponsored interventional studies conducted in patients that evaluate the safety and/or 
efficacy of a Pfizer product, regardless of the geographical location in which the study is 
conducted. US Basic Results are submitted for posting within 1 year of the primary 
completion date for studies in adult populations or within 6 months of the primary 
completion date for studies in pediatric populations. 
Primary completion date is defined as the date that the final subject was examined or 
received an intervention for the purposes of final collection of data for the primary outcome, 
whether the clinical study concluded according to the prespecified protocol or was 
terminated. 
EudraCT 
Pfizer posts EU Basic Results on EudraCT for all Pfizer-sponsored interventional studies that 
are in scope of EU requirements. EU Basic Results are submitted for posting within 1 year 
of the primary completion date for studies in adult populations or within 6 months of the 
primary completion date for studies in pediatric populations. 
www.pfizer.com 
Pfizer posts Public Disclosure Synopses (clinical study report synopses in which any data 
that could be used to identify individual patients has been removed) on www.pfizer.com for 
Pfizer-sponsored interventional studies at the same time the US Basic Results document is 
posted to www.clinicaltrials.gov.

15.2. Publications by Investigators 
Pfizer has no objection to publication by Investigator of any information collected or 
generated by Investigator, whether or not the results are favorable to the Investigational 
Drug. However, to ensure against inadvertent disclosure of Confidential Information or 
unprotected Inventions, Investigator will provide Pfizer an opportunity to review any 
proposed publication or other type of disclosure before it is submitted or otherwise disclosed. 
Investigator will provide manuscripts, abstracts, or the full text of any other intended 
disclosure (poster presentation, invited speaker or guest lecturer presentation, etc.) to Pfizer 
at least 30 days before they are submitted for publication or otherwise disclosed. If any 
patent action is required to protect intellectual property rights, the investigator agrees to delay 
the disclosure for a period not to exceed an additional 60 days. 
The investigator will, on request, remove any previously undisclosed Confidential 
Information (other than the Study results themselves) before disclosure. 
If the study is part of a multi-center study, the investigator agrees that the first publication is 
to be a joint publication covering all centers. However, if a joint manuscript has not been 
submitted for publication within 12 months of completion or termination of the study at all 
participating sites, the investigator is free to publish separately, subject to the other 
requirements of this Section. 
For all publications relating to the Study, Institution will comply with recognized ethical 
standards concerning publications and authorship, including Section II - “Ethical 
Considerations in the Conduct and Reporting of Research” of the Uniform Requirements for 
Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, http://www.icmje.org/index.html#authorship, 
established by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. 
Publication of study results is also provided for in the Clinical Study Agreement between 
Pfizer and the institution. In this section entitled Publications by Investigators, the defined 
terms shall have the meanings given to them in the Clinical Study Agreement.

Appendix 1. B0661037/CV185-325 Dose Selection Rationale for the Original Protocol 
(05 October 2015), Amendment 1 (20 July 2015), and Amendment 2 (31 August 2015) 
[APPENDIX 2 SUPERSEDES APPENDIX 1] 
Population pharmacokinetic (PPK) models were developed for the adult VTE treatment 
population based on data from the Phase 2 and 3 VTE treatment clinical trials and for the 
pediatric population based on data from the pediatric PK/PD studies (CV185079 and 
CV185118). Dose selection in B0661037/CV185-325 is based on simulations using these 
models with the following key assumptions: 
1. The pediatric PK/PD profile established in the pediatric PK/PD studies represents the 
PK/PD profile in the pediatric VTE treatment population. 
2. Equivalent exposure from the doses proven to be safe and effective in adult VTE 
treatment studies will be similarly safe and effective in the targeted pediatric VTE 
treatment population. 
A PPK analysis, incorporating data from Phase 1, 2 and 3 studies, was conducted to support 
the VTE treatment indication in adults.1 Apixaban exposure was adequately characterized by 
a 2-compartment PPK model with first-order absorption and first-order elimination. Table 8 
provides a summary of the predicted daily steady-state apixaban exposure (AUCss) for adult 
VTE treatment patients with the 5 mg and 10 mg BID doses based on the PPK model.

CV185079 study was a multiple-dose study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, 
pharmacodynamics, safety, and tolerability of apixaban in pediatric subjects from birth to 
<18 years with an indwelling central venous catheter. However, the study was terminated 
prior to completion due to poor enrolment attributed to the complexity of the study design. 
Apixaban concentrations were available from 6 subjects in Group 5A (age ≥12 to <18 years) 
and 2 subjects in Group 4A (age ≥6 to <12 years). CV185118 study is an ongoing 
single-dose study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety and 
tolerability of apixaban in pediatric subjects from birth to <18 years at risk for a venous or 
arterial thrombotic disorder. Apixaban concentrations are available for 15 subjects in 
Groups 3-5: 5 subjects from Group 5 (12 years to <18 years); 6 subjects from Group 4 
(6 years to <12 years); 4 subjects from Group 3 (2 years to <6 years) as part of a 
pre-specified interim analysis.

A pediatric PPK model was developed using the combined available data from Studies 
CV185118 and CV185079. This pediatric PPK analysis included a total of 144 apixaban 
concentrations from 23 subjects. A Bayesian analysis with an uninformative prior was used 
and apixaban exposure was adequately characterized by a 2-compartment PPK model with 
first-order absorption and first-order elimination. 
Using this interim pediatric PPK model, a PK simulation was performed to select doses for 
the oldest of 4 age groups in Study B0661037/CV185-325 (Age Group 1: 12 to <18 years) to 
achieve an exposure (daily AUCss) equivalent to that associated with a safe and effective 
dose regimen in the adult VTE treatment population (Table 8). A combined approach using 
fixed doses along with weight-based dosing was evaluated in the simulation, as shown 
below: 
• Subjects between the ages of 12 to <18 years who are >40 kg will receive 10 mg 
twice daily for 7 days followed by 5 mg twice daily thereafter. 
• Subjects between the ages of 12 to <18 years who are ≤40 kg will receive a dose of 
0.2 mg/kg twice daily for 7 days followed by 0.1 mg/kg twice daily thereafter. 
A total of 2000 subjects were randomly sampled from the age range of 12 years to <18 years 
and the body weight was sampled from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
growth chart based on each subject’s age and sex. The PK simulation results are summarized 
as box-and-whisker plots in Figure 1. The results show that this dosing regimen is expected 
to achieve a median exposure that is similar to the median exposure in adults.

CV185118 study is an ongoing single-dose study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, 
pharmacodynamics, safety and tolerability of apixaban in pediatric subjects from birth to 
<18 years at risk for a venous or arterial thrombotic disorder. As of 31-May-2019, a total of 
46 subjects received apixaban in CV185118: 10 subjects 12 years to <18 years of age, 
9 subjects 6 years to <12 years of age, 8 subjects 2 years to <6 years of age, 9 subjects 
9 months to <2 years of age, 9 subjects 28 days to <9 months, and 1 subject birth to 
<28 days. 
The Interim Analysis 2 was completed using the available PK data from these subjects. A 
total of 147 apixaban concentrations were available from 28 subjects. A 2-compartment PPK 
model with first-order absorption and a dose dependent bioavailability adequately described 
the PK of apixaban in pediatric subjects. The estimated oral clearance of apixaban increased 
from 0.996 L/h in Group 2A (9 months to <2 years) to 4.77 L/h in Group 5 (12 years to 
<18 years). For pediatric subjects older than 12 years of age, oral clearance values are

similar to those of adults. The body weight was an important covariate for oral clearance of 
apixaban. When modeled as a power function, the parameter estimate for the covariate effect 
of weight on oral clearance was 0.634 [95% CI: 0.506-0.762]. The magnitude of 
inter-individual variability in oral clearance is similar between adults and pediatric subjects 
(~30%). 
Using this Interim Analysis 2 pediatric PPK model, a PK simulation was performed to select 
doses for the two oldest of 4 age groups in Study B0661037/CV185-325 (Age Group 1: 12 to 
<18 years and Age Group 2: 2 to <12 years) to achieve an exposure (daily AUCss) similar to 
that associated with a safe and effective dose regimen in the adult VTE treatment population 
(Table 8). Considering that apixaban oral clearance was dependent upon the body weight in 
pediatric subjects older than 2 years in CV185118, consistent with reported values for 
allometric scaling,2 a uniform mg/kg approach for both Age Group 1 and Age Group 2 was 
evaluated for simplified and accurate dosing. In addition, the body weight cut-off was 
changed from 40 kg to 35 kg to ensure a smooth transition of doses between administration 
with oral solution and tablets. A combined approach using fixed doses along with 
weight-based dosing was evaluated in the simulation, as shown below: 
• Subjects between the ages of 2 to <18 years who are ≥35 kg will receive 10 mg twice 
daily for 7 days followed by 5 mg twice daily thereafter; 
• Subjects between the ages of 2 to <18 years who are <35 kg will receive a dose of 
0.28 mg/kg twice daily for 7 days followed by 0.14 mg/kg twice daily thereafter. 
A total of 4000 subjects (2000 subjects for each Age Group) were randomly sampled from 
the age range of 2 years to <18 years and the body weight was sampled from the Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention growth chart based on each subject’s age and sex. The PK 
simulation results are summarized as box-and-whisker plots in Figure 2. The results show 
that this dosing regimen is expected to achieve a median exposure that is similar to the 
median exposure in adults.

CV185118 study is an ongoing single-dose study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, 
pharmacodynamics, safety and tolerability of apixaban in pediatric subjects from birth to 
<18 years at risk for a venous or arterial thrombotic disorder. As of 09 Dec 2016, a total of 
34 subjects received apixaban with complete enrollment of age groups of 28 days to 
<18 years of age: 8 subjects 12 years to <18 years of age, 8 subjects 6 years to <12 years of 
age, 8 subjects 2 years to <6 years of age, 6 subjects 9 months to <2 years of age, and 
4 subjects 28 days to <9 months. 
The Interim Analysis 3 was completed using the available PK data from these subjects. A 
total of 180 apixaban concentrations were available from 34 subjects. A 2-compartment PPK 
model with first-order absorption and a dose dependent bioavailability adequately described

subjects was characterized using allometric scaling with the estimated power function of 
0.624 [95% CI: 0.538-0.710]2 and a fixed maturation function based on the apixaban 
elimination profile and known ontogeny of those pathways.3

The estimated oral clearance of apixaban increased from 0.996 L/h in Group 2A (9 months to 
<2 years) to 4.77 L/h in Group 5 (12 years to <18 years). For pediatric subjects older than 
12 years of age, oral clearance values are similar to those of adults. Body weight was an 
important covariate for oral clearance of apixaban. In addition, oral clearance, when 
normalized to body weight, was constant across the pediatric age range of 3 months to 
18 years. The magnitude of inter-individual variability in oral clearance is similar between 
adults and pediatric subjects (~30%). 
With the introduction of 0.5 mg tablets in Amendment 4, the dosing paradigm of apixaban 
changed from mg/kg dosing (Appendix 1 and Appendix 2) to fixed-dose, body weight-tiered 
regimen, as outlined in Table 9. The fixed-dose, body weight-tiered regimen uses apixaban 
doses in increments of 0.5 mg according to the appropriate weight range, regardless of 
apixaban formulations (ie, oral solution or 0.5 mg tablets).

A total of 30000 simulated subjects (10000 subjects for each Age Group 
[Age Group 1: 12 <18 years for, Age Group 2: 2-<12 years, and 
Age Group 3: 28 days -<2 years]) were randomly sampled from the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention growth chart based on each subject’s age and sex. Simulated 
subjects whose body weight was less than 6 kg or age was less than 3 months were removed. 
The final PK simulation results are summarized as box-and-whisker plots for each weight tier 
in Figure 3. The PK simulation had 2686, 4819, 4551, 3018, 2999, and 10917 simulated 
subjects for 6 to <9 kg, 9 to <12 kg, 12 to <18 kg, 18 to <25 kg, 25 to <35 kg, and ≥35 kg 
tiers, respectively. The results show that this fixed-dose body weight tiered regimen is 
expected to achieve a median exposure that is similar to the median exposure in adults.

The ongoing CV185118 study will also enroll children in the youngest age group of 
neonates. As PK data are obtained for these additional age groups, the PPK model will be 
updated and simulations will be performed to select doses for the younger age groups of 
neonates and 28 days to <3 months in Study B0661037/CV185-325. 
In conclusion, the fixed doses in Table 9 are recommended in subjects ≥3 months of age and 
≥6 kg of body weight based on the PK modeling and simulation.

Appendix 4. B0661037/CV185-325 Dose Selection Rationale for Amendment 6 
A population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model was developed for the adult VTE treatment 
population based on data from the Phase 2 and 3 VTE treatment clinical trials. For the 
pediatric population, a PPK model was developed using the data from the ongoing 
Study CV185118. Dose selection in B0661037/CV185-325 is based on simulations using 
these models with the following key assumptions: 
1. The pediatric PK/PD profile established in the pediatric PK/PD studies represents the 
PK/PD profile in the pediatric VTE treatment population. 
2. Equivalent exposure from the doses proven to be safe and effective in adult VTE 
treatment studies will be similarly safe and effective in the targeted pediatric VTE 
treatment population. 
A PPK analysis, incorporating data from Phase 1, 2 and 3 studies, was conducted to support 
the VTE treatment indication in adults.1 Apixaban exposure was adequately characterized by 
a 2-compartment PPK model with first-order absorption and first-order elimination. Table 8 
provides a summary of the predicted daily steady-state apixaban exposure (AUCss) for adult 
VTE treatment patients with the 5 mg and 10 mg BID doses based on the PPK model.

CV185118 study is an ongoing single-dose study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, 
pharmacodynamics, safety and tolerability of apixaban in pediatric subjects from birth to 
<18 years at risk for a venous or arterial thrombotic disorder. As of May 31, 2019, a total of 
46 subjects received apixaban in CV185118: 10 subjects 12 years to <18 years of age, 
9 subjects 6 years to <12 years of age, 8 subjects 2 years to <6 years of age, 9 subjects 
9 months to <2 years of age, 9 subjects 28 days to <9 months, and 1 subject birth to 
<28 days. CV185079 study was a multiple-dose study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, 
pharmacodynamics, safety, and tolerability of apixaban in pediatric subjects, which was 
terminated due to poor enrolment. Apixaban concentrations were available from 6 subjects 
with age 12 to <18 years and 2 subjects with age 6 to <12 years in CV185079.

The Interim Analysis 3C was completed using the available PK data from these subjects in 
CV185118 and CV185079. Consistent with the previous IA3, the pediatric data were 
enriched with data from additional clinical studies in healthy young adults to support the 
pediatric population PK analysis. A total of 287 apixaban concentrations were available 
from 54 subjects. A 2-compartment PPK model with first-order absorption and a dose 
dependent bioavailability adequately described the PK of apixaban in pediatric subjects. The 
apparent oral clearance of apixaban in pediatric subjects was characterized using allometric 
scaling with the estimated power function of 0.704 [95% CI: 0.651 - 0.756]2 and a fixed 
maturation function based on the apixaban elimination profile and known ontogeny of those 
pathways.3 
The estimated oral clearance of apixaban increased with increasing age. For pediatric 
subjects older than 12 years of age, oral clearance values are similar to those of adults. Body 
weight was an important covariate for oral clearance of apixaban. In addition, oral clearance, 
when normalized to body weight, was generally constant across the pediatric age range of 
28 days to 18 years, except for the neonate subject. The magnitude of inter-individual 
variability in oral clearance is similar between adults and pediatric subjects (~30%). 
The fixed-dose body weight-tiered regimen is shown in Table 10.

A total of 30000 simulated subjects (10000 subjects for each Age Group [Age Group 1: 
12 <18 years for, Age Group 2: 2-<12 years, and Age Group 3: 28 days -<2 years]) were 
randomly sampled from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention growth chart based 
on each subject’s age and sex. Simulated subjects whose body weight was less than 4 kg or 
age was less than 28 days were removed. Since the enrollment of subjects 2 to <18 years is 
closed as of May 10, 2019, simulation subjects ≥2 years were also removed. 
The final PK simulation results are summarized as box-and-whisker plots for each weight tier 
in Figure 4. The PK simulation had 286, 567, 2771, 4548, and 1559 simulated subjects for

subjects <2 year were simulated to have body weight ≥18 kg based on the growth chart. The 
results show that this fixed-dose body weight tiered regimen in the newly proposed 4-<6 kg 
tiers is expected to achieve a median exposure that is similar to the median exposure in 
adults. While the simulation using the IA3C final model predicted ~30% increase in

Appendix 5. B0661037/CV185-325 Dose Selection Rationale for Age Group 4 (≤27 Days 
of Age) in Amendment 7- PK Cohort Neonates 
A population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model was developed for the adult VTE treatment 
population based on data from the Phase 2 and 3 VTE treatment clinical trials. For the 
pediatric population, a PPK model was developed using the data from the ongoing 
Study CV185118. Dose selection in B0661037/CV185-325 is based on simulations using 
these models with the following key assumptions: 
1. The pediatric PK/PD profile established in the pediatric PK/PD studies represents the 
PK/PD profile in the pediatric VTE treatment population. 
2. Equivalent exposure from the doses proven to be safe and effective in adult VTE 
treatment studies will be similarly safe and effective in the targeted pediatric VTE 
treatment population. 
A PPK analysis, incorporating data from Phase 1, 2 and 3 studies, was conducted to support 
the VTE treatment indication in adults.1 Apixaban exposure was adequately characterized by 
a 2-compartment PPK model with first-order absorption and first-order elimination.2 
provides a summary of the predicted daily steady-state apixaban exposure (AUCss) for adult 
VTE treatment patients with the 5 mg and 10 mg BID doses based on the PPK model.

The Interim Analysis 3C was completed using the available PK data from these subjects in 
CV185118 and CV185079. Consistent with the previous IA3, the pediatric data were 
enriched with data from additional clinical studies in healthy young adults to support the 
pediatric population PK analysis. A total of 287 apixaban concentrations were available from 
54 subjects. A 2-compartment PPK model with first-order absorption and a dose dependent 
bioavailability adequately described the PK of apixaban in pediatric subjects. The apparent 
oral clearance of apixaban in pediatric subjects was characterized using allometric scaling 
with the estimated power function of 0.704 [95% CI: 0.651 - 0.756]2 and a fixed maturation 
function based on the apixaban elimination profile and known ontogeny of those pathways.3 
The estimated oral clearance of apixaban increased with increasing age. For pediatric 
subjects older than 12 years of age, oral clearance values are similar to those of adults. Body 
weight was an important covariate for oral clearance of apixaban. In addition, oral clearance, 
when normalized to body weight, was generally constant across the pediatric age range of 
28 days to 18 years. The magnitude of inter-individual variability in oral clearance is similar 
between adults and pediatric subjects (~30%). 
For the first 5 neonates (≤27 days of age) randomized to apixaban, subjects will receive 
standard of care therapies for at least 5 days and then will receive apixaban 0.1 mg twice 
daily. To support this dose selection, a total of 10000 simulated neonate subjects was 
randomly sampled from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention growth chart based 
on each subject’s age and sex. Simulated subjects had a body weight of 2.6 kg to less than 
6 kg and an age of 6 days to less than 28 days considering at least 5 days of SOC treatment 
prior to apixaban administration. 
The PK simulation results are summarized as box-and-whisker plot in Figure 5. 
The results show that the initial dose of 0.1 mg twice daily for neonates is expected to result 
in a slightly lower exposure (~30%) than that in adults with 5 mg twice daily but are 
generally consistent with the range in adults. Thus, this dose is considered safe and effective 
for neonates who will have been treated with standard of care therapies for ≥5 days. 
For each neonate, a series of blood samples will be collected after the first 0.1 mg dose of 
apixaban to predict each subject’s daily apixaban exposure (AUCss) at steady-state. If the 
subject’s predicted AUCss is outside the 90% prediction interval from adults with 5 mg twice 
daily (1293 ng*hr/mL to 4807 ng*hr/mL in Table 11), apixaban dose will be adjusted to 
remain within this interval. 
Once 5 neonates are enrolled, a pharmacokinetic analysis will be conducted using apixaban 
exposure data to confirm a fixed dose regimen of apixaban in neonates to achieve an 
exposure similar to the approved apixaban regimen in adults (10 mg BID for 7 days followed 
by 5 mg BID).

updated to reorganize prior text to enhance 
readability by adding level 3 headings for 
Pharmacokinetics of Apixaban in Pediatric 
Subjects, Pediatric Formulation 
Development, Dose Selection Age Groups 1, 
2, 3, and added new sub-section, Dose 
Selection for Age Group 4. 
10. Section 1.2.4: updated Table 2 to include 
starting dose for neonates of both PK cohort 
and post-PK cohort. Added text to explain 
what happens with dosing when a subject 
reaches age 28 days or older. The Table 2 
footnote c was updated accordingly. Added 
Table 2 footnote e, to indicate that if the PK 
sub-analysis determines that a different dose 
was necessary, a subsequent protocol 
amendment would be required. 
11. Section 1.2.4: Dose Selection for Age 
Group 4. Added Area Under the Curve 
(AUC) ranges for reference. 
12. Section 1.3.2: Potential Risks for Subjects. 
Statistics on subjects and patients treated 
with apixaban updated with current numbers. 
13. Section 2.2 Endpoints: modified to clarify 
that endpoints would not be limited to Deep 
Vein Thrombosis (DVT) or Pulmonary 
Embolism) PE, and would include “other 
thrombotic events,” as a component of the 
primary endpoint given that the most 
common category of VTE events in neonates 
is catheter related thrombosis and DVT or 
PE would be exceedingly rare events in 
neonates. This change is reflected elsewhere 
in the protocol for consistency. Other 
thrombotic events is also being added as a 
secondary endpoint. For consistency with 
the description of DVT, the secondary 
endpoint of PE is now described as 
symptomatic and asymptomatic PE. Other 
edits to endpoints section made to clarify the 
intent of all planned analyses.
