Regulation of Coagulation in Orthopedic Surgery to Prevent DVT and PE, a Controlled, Double-blind, Randomized Study of BAY 59-7939 in the Extended Prevention of VTE in Patients Undergoing Elective Total Hip Replacement

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The purpose of this study is to assess if 10 mg BAY 59-7939, taken once daily as a tablet, is safe and can help prevent blood clots forming after a hip replacement operation.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Composite endpoint of total VTE i.e.: Any DVT (proximal and/or distal), Non fatal PE, Death of all causes |  | Treatment period: up to day 35+/-6 | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Incidence of the composite endpoint comprising proximal DVT, non-fatal PE and VTE- related death (major VTE) |  | Treatment period: up to day 35+/-6 | 
| Incidence of symptomatic VTE (DVT, PE) |  | Treatment period: up to day 35+/-6 | 
| Incidence of DVT (total, proximal, distal) |  | Treatment period: up to day 35+/-6 | 
| Incidence of symptomatic VTE during follow-up |  | Follow-up period: following 35+/-6 days | 
| The composite endpoint comprising major VTE and treatment-emergent major bleeding |  | For major VTE, treatment period: up to Day 35+/-6 ; for major bleeding, from first dose of double-blind study medication to up to two days after last dose of double-blind study medication | 
| Incidence of the composite endpoint that results from the primary endpoint by substituting VTE related death for all death |  | Treatment period: up to day 35+/-6 | 
| Incidence of the composite endpoint that results from major VTE by substituting all cause mortality for VTE-related death |  | Treatment period: up to day 35+/-6 | 
| Treatment-emergent major bleedings |  | From first dose of double-blind study medication to up to two days after last dose of double-blind study medication |
