Design and rationale for the Japanese Registry of Rivaroxaban Effectiveness & Safety for the Prevention of Recurrence in Patients with Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism (J'xactly) study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Rivaroxaban, a factor Xa inhibitor used as a direct oral anticoagulant, is beneficial over warfarin in terms of food-drug interactions and the need for therapeutic monitoring in patients with acute venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Because there is little data regarding VTE treatment in Japan, a real-world survey of Japanese patients being treated with rivaroxaban for VTE is needed.

Methods and analysis

The Japanese Registry of Rivaroxaban Effectiveness & Safety for the Prevention of Recurrence in Patients with Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism has been established to investigate the clinical outcomes of rivaroxaban for the initial treatment and prevention of symptomatic recurrent VTE in Japanese patie
