About this trial
This study is researching an experimental drug called REGN7508 (called "study drug") and how it compares against another treatment called Acetylsalicylic Acid (ASA). The study is focused on adults undergoing elective, unilateral (one side) total knee replacement surgery.
The aim of the study is to see how effective the study drug is at preventing Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) and other related diseases after total knee replacement surgery compared to acetylsalicylic acid.
The study is looking at several other research questions, including:
* What side effects may happen from taking the study drug * How much study drug is in the blood at different times * Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the study drug less effective or could lead to side effects)
