Summary
Brief summary
The general aim of this study is to determine the comparative safety and efficacy of
dabigatran etexilate 150 mg bid administered orally and warfarin Pro re nata (As needed/PRN)
to maintain an International Normalised Ratio (INR) of 2.0-3.0 for 6 month treatment of acute
symptomatic VTE.

The primary objective is to investigate the efficacy of dabigatran compared to warfarin
during the 6 month treatment period. The investigation of other selected efficacy aspects and
safety are regarded as secondary objective of this trial.
