G3 denotes adverse events grade 3.
CI, confidence interval; DVT, Deep vein thrombosis; N/A, Not applicable; PE, Pulmonary embolism.
Denotes statistical significance.
Patients with an episode during the 1 year preceding treatment start were excluded.
P value of hazard ratio from log-rank test <.05 but proportionality χ2P value <.05, thus invalidating the proportional hazard assumption.
