Confirmed on 4Q11 JNJ CC—Xarelto is no-go for VTE prevention in immobilized patients:

…after further consultation with the FDA, we have decided not to file an sNDA for the use of XARELTO in the medically ill population at this time, based on the results of the Magellan trial.

The at this time qualifier is, of course, perfunctory. This indication for Xarelto has effectively been dead for almost a year (#msg-61803303).

p.s. The analysis in paragraph B of #msg-69173426 assumes that the new oral anticoagulants make no headway against Lovenox in this indication.
