Apixaban Reduces Hospitalizations in Patients With Venous Thromboembolism: An Analysis of the Apixaban for the Initial Management of Pulmonary Embolism and Deep-Vein Thrombosis as First-Line Therapy (AMPLIFY) Trial.
In the Apixaban for the Initial Management of Pulmonary Embolism and Deep-Vein Thrombosis as First-Line Therapy (AMPLIFY) trial, apixaban was noninferior to enoxaparin/warfarin in preventing recurrent symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) or venous thromboembolism-related death, with significantly less bleeding. This analysis evaluated the effects of apixaban versus enoxaparin/warfarin on all-cause hospitalizations during AMPLIFY. ⋯ URL: https://Clinicaltrials.Gov/. Unique identifier: NCT00643201.
