Bruising/ecchymosis: any bruise, which is assessed as "unusual".
Hematoma: presence of a hematoma is demonstrated radiographically, and a drop-in hemoglobin is present with no external evidence of bleeding.
Hemoptysis: expectoration of blood or blood-stained sputum.
Fatal Bleeding Event
Defined as a bleeding event that determines is the primary cause of death or contributes directly to death.
Liver injury event
Potential or suspected cases of liver injury including but not limited to liver test abnormalities (elevation of ALT, AST, GGT, alkaline phosphatase and total bilirrubin), jaundice, hepatitis or cholestasis events.
Serious adverse events
A Serious Adverse Event is any untoward medical occurrence that:
Results in death.
Is life-threatening (defined as an event in which the subject was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe).
Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization
Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity.
Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect.
Is an important medical event (defined as a medical event(s) that may require medical intervention to prevent one of a serious outcome listed above).
Overdose.
Second primary malignancies.
Symptomatic DVT or PE occurring during the 90 days of follow-up period
Symptomatic DTV or PE as defined aforementioned, assessed 90 days after the last dose of the study drug.
Death occurring during the 90 days of follow-up period
All cause of mortality occurring during the 90 days after the last dose of the study drug.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Interventional, no-randomized, open-label, and single arm multicentre study of apixaban for the prevention of thromboembolic events during induction therapy in transplant-eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who receive bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone (VTD) during the induction phase of therapy prior to autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). The current study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apixaban during the induction period. Efficacy will be defined as a composite endpoint of acute symptomatic proximal and distal deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, VTE related deaths, and acute ischemic stroke.
Detailed Description
This study is designed to test the efficacy and safety of the oral anti factor Xa apixaban 2.5 mg given twice daily as a prophylaxis of VTE in transplant-eligible patients with multiple myeloma during the induction therapy with VTD.
Induction therapy prior to ASCT will consist in no less than 4 and no more than 6 cycles of VTD, depending on treatment response. Duration of each cycle is 4 weeks if there is not any disease or treatment-related complication; therefore, treatment duration will be around 4-6 months. Daily Prophylaxis with apixaban will continue up to a maximum of 14 days after the last dose of thalidomide. In addition, there will be an additional observation period of 14 (± 7) days, starting the day after the last dose of study medication (until 28 days after the end of the last cycle of VTD).
