The present invention is directed to these, as well that often occurs following PTCA and CABG, and in the as other important ends. maintenance of vascular access patency in long-term hemo dialysis patients. With respect to the venous vasculature, SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION pathologic thrombus formation frequently occurs in the veins of the lower extremities following abdominal, knee 45 Accordingly, the present invention is directed, in part, to and hip surgery (deep vein thrombosis, or DVT). DVT novel crystalline forms of Factor Xa inhibitors. Specifically, further predisposes the patient to a higher risk of pulmonary in one embodiment, there are provided novel crystalline thromboembolism. A systemic, disseminated intravascular forms of Compound (I): coagulopathy (DIC) commonly occurs in both vascular systems during septic shock, certain viral infections and 50 cancer. This condition may be characterized by a rapid consumption of coagulation factors and their plasma inhibi (I) tors which may result in the formation of life-threatening clots throughout the microvasculature of several organ sys tems. The indications discussed above include some, but not all, of the possible clinical situations where anticoagulant 55 therapy may be warranted. Those experienced in this field are well aware of the circumstances requiring either acute or chronic prophylactic anticoagulant therapy. Both free Factor Xa and Factor Xa assembled in the prothrombinase complex (Factor Xa, Factor Va, calcium and 60 phospholipid) may be inhibited by N-(aminomethyl) phe nylpropyl amide compounds. A particularly promising N-(aminomethyl) phenylpropyl amide compound is methyl (2R,3R)-2-3-amino(imino)methylbenzyl-3-(4- (1-oxido-4-pyridinyl)benzoylaminobutanoate, i.e., the 65 in particular in pharmaceutically acceptable form. compound of formula (I) (hereinafter referred to as “Com These and other aspects of the invention will become pound (I)): more apparent from the following detailed description.
