Study Description

Brief Summary:

The three purposes of this study are the following:

• To compare during a 6-month treatment the safety and effectiveness of idrabiotaparinux (SSR126517) with that of idraparinux (SR34006), taking into account new events of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), and bleeding risk;
• To compare the activities of idrabiotaparinux and idraparinux directly in blood during and after a 6-month treatment;
• To check the ability of avidin (SSR29261) to reverse the blood thinning activity of idrabiotaparinux at the end of a 6-month treatment period.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Deep Venous Thrombosis	Drug: Idrabiotaparinux sodium; Drug: Idraparinux sodium; Drug: Avidin; Drug: Placebo (for Avidin)	Phase 3

Detailed Description:

The study consists in a 6-month treatment period followed by an observational period of 3 to 6 months with a month 9 visit and a phone/contact visit at month 12.

All participants who complete the 6-month treatment period are re-randomized to either the idrabiotaparinux/idraparinux bioequipotency sub-study or the avidin neutralizing effect sub-study.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Idrabiotaparinux; Idrabiotaparinux sodium , 3.0 mg, once-weekly for 6 months. In avidin sub-study, participants receive on Day 183, avidin 100 mg or placebo (for avidin) (4 hours after Idrabiotaparinux administration)	Drug: Idrabiotaparinux sodium; 0.5 mL pre-filled syringe for 3.0 mg Subcutaneous injection; Other Names: Biotinylated Idraparinux; SSR126517; Drug: Avidin; 100 mg in 10 mg/mL solution Intravenous infusion for 30 minutes; Other Name: SSR29261; Drug: Placebo (for Avidin); Avidin matching powder in 10 mg/mL solution Intravenous infusion for 30 minutes
Active Comparator: Idraparinux; Idraparinux sodium, 2.5 mg, once-weekly for 6 months In avidin sub-study, participants receive on Day 183, placebo (for avidin) (4 hours after Idrabiotaparinux administration)	Drug: Idraparinux sodium; 0.5 mL pre-filled syringe for 2.5 mg Subcutaneous injection; Other Name: SR34006; Drug: Placebo (for Avidin); Avidin matching powder in 10 mg/mL solution Intravenous infusion for 30 minutes

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Bioequipotency sub-study: idrabiotaparinux/idraparinux ratio for pharmacodynamic exposure parameters [ Time Frame: Day 183 ]
2. Avidin neutralizing effect substudy: decrease in anti-Xa activity between the start and end of the avidin infusion [ Time Frame: Day 183 to Day 188 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Pharmacokinetic profile: idrabiotaparinux and idraparinux plasma concentrations [ Time Frame: Days 15, 36, 57, 92 and 183 ]
2. Safety: number of participants with clinically relevant bleedings and number of deaths as confirmed by a Central Independent Adjudication Committee (CIAC) [ Time Frame: First 6 months ]
3. Efficacy: number of participants with symptomatic recurrent venous thromboembolism as confirmed by the CIAC [ Time Frame: First 6 months ]
