An Efficacy and Safety Study for Rivaroxaban in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether rivaroxaban in addition to standard care reduces the risk of the composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke in patients with a recent acute coronary syndrome compared with placebo.
