Brief Summary:

The primary objectives of this study are:

• To determine whether rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily (bid) + aspirin 100 mg once daily (od) compared with aspirin 100 mg od reduces the risk of a composite of myocardial infarction, stroke, or cardiovascular death in subjects with coronary artery disease (CAD) or peripheral artery disease (PAD);
• To determine whether rivaroxaban 5 mg bid compared with aspirin 100 mg od reduces the risk of a composite of myocardial infarction, stroke or cardiovascular death in subjects with CAD or PAD.

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Rivaroxaban [2.5mg] + Aspirin; Rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily and Aspirin 100 mg once daily. (Long-term open-label extension was added to make rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily + aspirin 100 mg once daily available to COMPASS trial subjects until the rivaroxaban treatment is commercially available for this indication or for approximately 3 years from regulatory approval of the long term open label extension in a country, whichever comes first.)	Drug: Rivaroxaban (Xarelto, BAY59-7939); Rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily, tablet; Drug: Aspirin; Aspirin 100 mg once daily, tablet; Drug: Pantoprazole; Subjects who are not on a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) will also be randomized to pantoprazole or pantoprazole placebo
Experimental: Rivaroxaban [5mg] + Placebo(1); Rivaroxaban 5 mg twice daily and Aspirin Placebo once daily	Drug: Rivaroxaban (Xarelto, BAY59-7939); Rivaroxaban 5.0 mg twice daily, tablet; Drug: Aspirin placebo; Placebo(1), matching Aspirin tablets; Drug: Pantoprazole; Subjects who are not on a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) will also be randomized to pantoprazole or pantoprazole placebo

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. The First Occurrence of the Composite Primary Efficacy Outcome, Myocardial Infarction (MI), Stroke, or Cardiovascular (CV) Death [ Time Frame: For each participant, the first occurrence of the composite primary efficacy outcome after randomization up until the global rivaroxaban/aspirin outcomes cut-off date (06 FEB 2017) was considered. The mean time in follow-up until that date was 702 days. ]
   Count of participants and time from randomization to the first occurrence of the composite primary efficacy outcome, MI, stroke, or CV death were evaluated. Hazard ratios were calculated and reported as statistical analysis.
2. The First Occurrence of the Primary Safety Outcome Major Bleeding Based on a Modification of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) Criteria [ Time Frame: For each participant, the first occurrence of modified ISTH major bleeding after randomization up until the global rivaroxaban/aspirin outcomes cut-off date (06 FEB 2017) was considered. The mean time in follow-up until that date was 702 days. ]

   Modified ISTH major bleeding is defined as: i) Fatal bleeding, or ii) Symptomatic bleeding in a critical area or organ, such as intraarticular, intracranial, intramuscular with compartment syndrome, intraocular, intraspinal, liver, pancreas, pericardial, respiratory, retroperitoneal, adrenal gland or kidney; or bleeding into the surgical site requiring reoperation, or iii) Bleeding leading to hospitalization (major bleeding also includes presentation to an acute care facility with discharge on the same day).

   Count of participants and time from randomization to the first occurrence of the primary safety outcome major bleeding were evaluated. Hazard ratios were calculated and reported as statistical analysis.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. The First Occurrence of Myocardial Infarction (MI), Ischemic Stroke, Acute Limb Ischemia (ALI), or Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) Death [ Time Frame: For each participant, the first occurrence of MI, ALI, or CHD death after randomization up until the global rivaroxaban/aspirin outcomes cut-off date (06 FEB 2017) was considered. The mean time in follow-up until that date was 702 days. ]
   Count of participants and time from randomization to the first occurrence of MI, ischemic stroke, ALI, or CHD death were evaluated. Hazard ratios were calculated and reported as statistical analysis.
2. The First Occurrence of MI, Ischemic Stroke, ALI, or Cardiovascular (CV) Death [ Time Frame: For each participant, the first occurrence of MI, ischemic stroke, ALI, or CV death after randomization up until the global rivaroxaban/aspirin outcomes cut-off date (06 FEB 2017) was considered. The mean time in follow-up until that date was 702 days. ]
   Count of participants and time from randomization to the first occurrence of MI, ischemic stroke, ALI, or CV death were evaluated. Hazard ratios were calculated and reported as statistical analysis.
3. All-cause Mortality [ Time Frame: For each participants, death by any cause after randomization up until the global rivaroxaban/aspirin outcomes cut-off date (06 FEB 2017) was considered. The mean time in follow-up until that date was 702 days. ]
   Count of participants and time from randomization to death by all cause were evaluated. Hazard ratios were calculated and reported as statistical analysis.
