Indications & Usage
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Rivaroxaban for oral suspension is a factor Xa inhibitor indicated: for treatment of VTE and reduction in the risk of recurrent VTE in pediatric patients from birth to less than 18 years ( 1.9 ) for thromboprophylaxis in pediatric patients 2 years and older with congenital heart disease after the Fontan procedure ( 1.10 ) 1.9 Treatment of Venous Thromboembolism and Reduction in Risk of Recurrent Venous Thromboembolism in Pediatric Patients Rivaroxaban for oral suspension is indicated for the treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and the reduction in the risk of recurrent VTE in pediatric patients from birth to less than 18 years after at least 5 days of initial parenteral anticoagulant treatment.

1.10 Thromboprophylaxis in Pediatric Patients with Congenital Heart Disease after the Fontan Procedure Rivaroxaban for oral suspension is indicated for thromboprophylaxis in pediatric patients aged 2 years and older with congenital heart disease who have undergone the Fontan procedure.
Adverse Reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are also discussed in other sections of the labeling: Increased Risk of Stroke After Discontinuation in Another Indication [see Boxed Warning and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Bleeding Risk [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 , 5.4 , 5.5 , 5.6 , 5.7 )] Spinal/Epidural Hematoma [see Boxed Warning and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] The most common adverse reactions (>10 %) in pediatric patients were bleeding, cough, vomiting, and gastroenteritis.

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.

Pediatric Patients Treatment of Venous Thromboembolism and Reduction in Risk of Recurrent Venous Thromboembolism in Pediatric Patients: The safety assessment is based on data from the EINSTEIN Junior Phase 3 study in 491 patients from birth to less than 18 years of age.

Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive body weight- adjusted doses of rivaroxaban for oral suspension or comparator (unfractionated heparin, low molecular weight heparin, fondaparinux or VKA).

Discontinuation due to bleeding events occurred in 6 (1.8 %) patients in the rivaroxaban for oral suspension group and 3 (1.9 %) patients in the comparator group.

Table 14 shows the number of patients experiencing bleeding events in the EINSTEIN Junior study.

In female patients who had experienced menarche, ages 12 to <18 years of age, menorrhagia occurred in 23 (27 %) female patients in the rivaroxaban for oral suspension group and 5 (10 %) female patients in the comparator group.

Table 14: Bleeding Events in EINSTEIN Junior Study–Safety Analysis Set - Main Treatment Period * * These events occurred after randomization until 3 months of treatment (1 month for patients <2 years with central venous catheter-related VTE (CVC-VTE).

Patients may have more than one event.

† Treatment schedule: body weight-adjusted doses of rivaroxaban for oral suspension; randomized 2:1 (rivaroxaban for oral suspension: Comparator).

‡ Unfractionated heparin (UFH), low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), fondaparinux or VKA.

§ Defined as clinically overt bleeding associated with a decrease in hemoglobin of ≥2 g/dL, a transfusion of ≥2 units of packed red blood cells or whole blood, bleeding at a critical site, or with a fatal outcome.

¶ Defined as clinically overt bleeding, which did not meet the criteria for major bleeding, but was associated with medical intervention, unscheduled contact with a physician, temporary cessation of treatment, discomfort for the patient, or impairment of activities of daily life.

Thromboprophylaxis in Pediatric Patients with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) after the Fontan Procedure: The data below are based on Part B of the UNIVERSE study which was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of rivaroxaban for oral suspension for thromboprophylaxis in 98 children with CHD after the Fontan procedure who took at least one dose of study drug.

Patients in Part B were randomized 2:1 to receive either body weight-adjusted doses of rivaroxaban for oral suspension or aspirin (approximately 5 mg/kg).

Discontinuation due to bleeding events occurred in 1 (1.6 %) patient in the rivaroxaban for oral suspension group and no patients in the aspirin group.

Table 16 shows the number of patients experiencing bleeding events in the UNIVERSE study.
