We investigated the potential use of idraparinux, a long-acting inhibitor of activated factor X, as a substitute for standard therapy.We conducted two randomized, open-label noninferiority trials involving 2904 patients with deep-vein thrombosis and 2215 patients with pulmonary embolism to compare the efficacy and safety of idraparinux versus standard therapy. Patients received either subcutaneous idraparinux (2.5 mg once weekly) or a heparin followed by an adjusted-dose vitamin K antagonist for either 3 or 6 months. The primary efficacy outcome was the 3-month incidence of symptomatic recurrent venous thromboembolism (nonfatal or fatal).In the study of patients with deep venous thrombosis, the incidence of recurrence at day 92 was $2.9\%$ in the idraparinux group as compared with $3.0\%$ in the standard-therapy group (odds ratio, 0.98; $95\%$ confidence interval [CI], 0.63 to 1.50), a result that satisfied the prespecified noninferiority requirement. At 6 months, the hazard ratio for idraparinux was 1.01. The rates of clinically relevant bleeding at day 92 were $4.5\%$ in the idraparinux group and $7.0\%$ in the standard-therapy group (P=0.004). At 6 months, bleeding rates were similar. In the study of patients with pulmonary embolism, the incidence of recurrence at day 92 was $3.4\%$ in the idraparinux group and $1.6\%$ in the standard-therapy group (odds ratio, 2.14; $95\%$ CI, 1.21 to 3.78), a finding that did not meet the noninferiority requirement.In patients with deep venous thrombosis, once-weekly subcutaneous idraparinux for 3 or 6 months had an efficacy similar to that of heparin plus a vitamin K antagonist. However, in patients with pulmonary embolism, idraparinux was less efficacious than standard therapy.
