Trial Outcomes & Findings for Pradaxa (Dabigatran Etexilate) 150 mg/q.d. in Patients With Moderate Renal Impairment After Hip or Knee Replacement Surgery (NCT NCT00847301)

NCT ID: NCT00847301

Last Updated: 2015-09-25

Results Overview

Major bleeding events were defined according to the modified McMaster criteria, and were classified by the investigator as Major bleeding event or Any bleeding event. The criteria for MBE's were: fatal; clinically overt associated with loss of haemoglobin \>=20g/L in excess of what was expected; clinically overt leading to the transfusion of \>=2 units packed cells or whole blood in excess of what was expected; symptomatic retroperitoneal, intracranial, intraocular or intraspinal; requiring treatment cessation; leading to re-operation

Recruitment status

COMPLETED

Target enrollment

Primary outcome timeframe

From first intake (day of surgery) until 24 hours after last intake (planned: knee replacement: Day 10 after surgery, hip replacement: Day 28-35 after surgery) of Pradaxa

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From first intake (day of surgery) until 24 hours after last intake (planned: knee replacement: Day 10 after surgery, hip replacement: Day 28-35 after surgery) of Pradaxa

Population: Treated set with moderate renal impairment: this patient set included all patients with CrCl 30 - 50 mL/min who received at least one 1 of dabigatran etexilate.

Major bleeding events were defined according to the modified McMaster criteria, and were classified by the investigator as Major bleeding event or Any bleeding event. The criteria for MBE's were: fatal; clinically overt associated with loss of haemoglobin \>=20g/L in excess of what was expected; clinically overt leading to the transfusion of \>=2 units packed cells or whole blood in excess of what was expected; symptomatic retroperitoneal, intracranial, intraocular or intraspinal; requiring treatment cessation; leading to re-operation

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From first intake (day of surgery) until 24 hours after last intake (planned: knee replacement: Day 10 after surgery, hip replacement: Day 28-35 after surgery) of Pradaxa

Population: Treated set with moderate renal impairment: this patient set included all patients with CrCl 30 - 50 mL/min who received at least one 1 of dabigatran etexilate.

The co-primary efficacy variable sVTE was defined as the composite of documented symptomatic proximal and distal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and documented symptomatic non-fatal pulmonary embolism (PE) and All Cause Mortality.
