  Purpose

The primary objective is to demonstrate the clinical benefits of diclofenac (added to standard anticoagulant therapy) over placebo in normotensive patients with acute symptomatic pulmonary embolism and right ventricular dysfunction.

The secondary objective is to assess the safety after administration of diclofenac in normotensive patients with acute symptomatic pulmonary embolism and right ventricular dysfunction.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Acute symptomatic PE confirmed by multidetector CT angiography, a high-probability V/Q scan, or by the presence of deep vein thrombosis confirmed by lower limb ultrasound testing in patients with nonconclusive V/Q scan;
  2. first symptoms occurring ten days or less before randomization;
  3. haemodynamic stability (systolic blood pressure > 100 mm Hg, no need of inotropic support, pulmonary resuscitation, intubation or thrombolytic treatment);

  2. active bleeding, or clinically relevant bleeding in the previous month before diagnosis of PE;
  3. peptic ulcer;
  4. major surgery, or severe trauma in the previous month before diagnosis of PE;
  5. indication for chronic anticoagulation;
  6. pregnancy or breast feeding;
