Acute Medically Ill VTE Prevention With Extended Duration Betrixaban Study (The APEX Study)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether extended prophylaxis with oral betrixaban can prevent blood clots in the leg and lung that sometime occur in patients hospitalized for an acute medical illness and to compare these results with standard of care enoxaparin.
