The purpose of this study is to estimate the risk of bleeding with rivaroxaban, compared with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), in addition to a single antiplatelet/ platelet adenosine diphosphate P2Y12 receptor antagonist (P2Y12 inhibitor agent: clopidogrel or ticagrelor), in participants with a recent acute coronary syndrome (ACS: including ST segment elevation myocardial infarction \[STEMI\] and non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome \[NSTE-ACS\]).
This is a prospective, randomized (the study drug is assigned by chance), double-blind (neither physician nor participant knows the treatment that the participant receives), active-controlled (study in which the experimental treatment or procedure is compared to a standard treatment or procedure), parallel group (each group of participants will be treated at the same time), multicenter (when more than one hospital or medical school team work on a medical research study) study in participants with a recent ACS (STEMI or NSTE-ACS). All the eligible participants receiving background treatment of ASA plus clopidogrel (Stratum 1) or ASA plus ticagrelor (Stratum 2) will be randomly assigned to either receive ASA or rivaroxaban on background of P2Y12 receptor antagonists treatment. This study will include 3 phases: Screening Phase (up to 10 days, before study start on Day 1), Double-blind Treatment Phase (up to either 180 days after randomization of the last enrolled participant in the study or Day 360, whichever occurs earlier), and Follow-up Phase (up to 30 days). Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Number of Participants With Non Coronary Artery Bypass Graft-Related (Non CABG-related) Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Clinically Significant Bleeding Events
Non CABG-related TIMI clinically significant bleeding events are sum of non CABG-related TIMI major bleeding events, TIMI minor bleeding events and TIMI bleeding events requiring medical attention. Major: any symptomatic intracranial bleeding: clinically overt signs of hemorrhage with hemoglobin (Hb) drop of greater than or equal to (\>=)5 gram per deciliter (g/dl) (or absolute drop in hematocrit of \>=15%) and fatal bleeding (results in death within 7 days); Minor: clinically overt sign of hemorrhage with Hb drop of 3 - \<5 g/dl (or drop in hematocrit of 9 - \<15%); requiring medical attention: bleeding event that required medical, surgical treatment/laboratory evaluation and did not meet criteria for major/minor bleeding event.
Time frame: From start of study treatment until follow-up (up to 390 days)
