Venous Thromboembolism

EINSTEIN Junior Phase II: oral rivaroxaban in young children with venous thrombosis

Trial purpose

The purpose of this study is to find out whether rivaroxaban is safe to use in children and how long it stays in the body. Safety will be assessed by looking at the incidence and types of bleeding events. There will also be a check for worsening of blood clots.

Primary Outcome

  • Number of Subjects With Major Bleeding and Clinically Relevant Non-Major Bleeding Events
    Major bleeding is defined as overt bleeding and: •associated with a fall in hemoglobin of 2 gram/decilitre (g/dL) or more, or •leading to a transfusion of the equivalent of 2 or more units of packed red blood cells or whole blood in adults, or •occurring in a critical site, for example (e.g.) intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular, pericardial, intraarticular, intramuscular with compartment syndrome, retroperitoneal, or •contributing to death. Clinically relevant non-major bleeding is defined as overt bleeding not meeting the criteria for major bleeding, but associated with: •medical intervention, or •unscheduled contact (visit or telephone call) with a physician, or •cessation (temporary) of study treatment, or •discomfort for the child such as pain or •impairment of activities of daily life (such as loss of school days or hospitalization).

Secondary Outcome

  • Number of Subjects With Symptomatic Recurrent Venous Thromboembolism
    Venous thromboembolism is the formation of a blood clot (thrombus) inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system. The occurrence of recurrent venous thromboembolism was summarized by age group. Symptomatic recurrence, which is the composite of deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), non-fatal Pulmonary Embolism (PE), and fatal PE of venous thrombosis, had to be documented using appropriate (repeat) imaging test.
    date_rangeTime Frame:
    From start of the study treatment up to 30-days post study treatment period (approximately 60 days)

    Safety Issue:
    No
  • Number of Subjects With Asymptomatic Deterioration in Thrombotic Burden on Repeat Imaging
    The occurrence of asymptomatic deterioration in thrombotic burden was summarized by age group. At the end of the 30-day treatment period, a repeat imaging of the thrombus was performed. The images of the index event and repeat imaging were adjudicated by the central independent adjudication committee (CIAC). The thrombotic burden at the time of the index event was compared to the thrombotic burden at the time of repeat imaging. The outcome of the adjudication was classified as normalized, improved, no relevant change, deteriorated, or not evaluable. Due to missing repeated imaging, thrombotic burden assessments were not done in some subjects.

  • Change From Baseline in Prothrombin Time at Specified Time Points
    Prothrombin time is a global clotting test used for the assessment of the extrinsic pathway of the blood coagulation cascade. Day 30 (10-16 hours post-dose) was considered as a baseline.
    date_rangeTime Frame:
    Day 1 (2.5-4 hours post-dose); Day 15 (2-8 hours post-dose); Day 30 (10-16 hours post-dose)

    Safety Issue:

  • Change From Baseline in Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time at Specified Time Points
    The Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) is a screening test for the intrinsic pathway. Day 30 (10-16 hours post-dose) was considered as a baseline.
    date_rangeTime Frame:
    Day 1 (2.5-4 hours post-dose); Day 15 (2-8 hours post-dose); Day 30 (10-16 hours post-dose)

  • Concentration of Rivaroxaban in Plasma as a Measure of Pharmacokinetics at Specified Time Points
    Concentration of rivaroxaban in plasma was measured at Day 1, 15 and 30 at specified time points. In the below table, ‘n’ signifies those subjects who were evaluable for this measure at given time points for each group. Geometric mean and percentage geometric coefficient of variation (%CV) were reported.
    date_rangeTime Frame:
    Day 1 (30-90 minutes, 2.5-4 hours post-dose); Day 15 (2-8 hours post-dose) and Day 30 (10-16 hours post-dose)
