Dabigatran treatment simulation in patients undergoing maintenance haemodialysis.
This study simulated the dose-exposure relationship of dabigatran in patients undergoing haemodialysis. Dabigatran exposure was modelled at once- and twice-daily doses of 75 mg, 110 mg and 150 mg and at variations in non-renal clearance and dialysis settings. Resultant dose exposure (area under the curve [AUC]) was compared with values simulated from typical patients in the RE-LY® trial (based on a previously characterised pharmacometric model). In this simulation, all twice-daily dosages resulted in exposures above those simulated from typical RE-LY patients (1.5- to 3.3-fold increase in AUC) and thus may not be optimal ...

Incorporating edoxaban into the choice of anticoagulants for atrial fibrillation.
Abstract The non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are replacing warfarin for stroke prevention in many patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Edoxaban, an oral factor Xa inhibitor, is the newest entrant in this class. Results of the Effective Anticoagulation with Factor Xa Next Generation in Atrial Fibrillation (ENGAGE AF) study demonstrate that edoxaban is noninferior to warfarin for prevention of stroke and systemic embolic events, and is associated with significantly less major bleeding, including intracranial bleeding, and reduced cardiovascular mortality. With a net clinical benefit ov...

A comparison of the safety and effectiveness of dabigatran and warfarin in non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients in a large healthcare system.
In conclusion, compared with warfarin, dabigatran treatment was associated with a lower risk of stroke and most outcomes measured, but increased incidence of major lower GI bleeding. PMID: 26446456 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Dabigatran use in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation.
Abstract In elderly patients (≥ 75 years), evidence of dabigatran efficacy is lacking and increased vigilance is warranted. We aimed to assess dabigatran effectiveness and safety in elderly patients in real-world practice. We conducted a population-based study using administrative databases, in Quebec (1999-2013). Dabigatran users (110/150 mg) were compared with matched warfarin users with regard to stroke and bleeding events. Age was categorised into < 75 or ≥ 75 years. Propensity score adjusted models were used. The cohort consisted of 15,918 dabigatran users and 47,192 matched warfarin users, with ...

Hemodialysis for the treatment of dabigatran-associated bleeding: a case report and systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with dabigatran associated bleeding, RRT appears to be effective in reducing dabigatran concentrations and in case reports this has been associated with a reduction in duration and/or severity of bleeding. However, a rebound in concentrations may be seen following withdrawal of RRT suggesting that a prolonged course of RRT may be more effective. This article is protected by copyright.

Therapy persistence in newly diagnosed non-valvular atrial fibrillation treated with warfarin or NOAC. A cohort study.
In conclusion, persistence was significantly higher with NOAC than VKA, and could alone lead to reduced cardioembolic strokes. Increased guideline adherence following NOAC introduction could further decrease AF stroke burden. PMID: 26246112 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Post-operative arterial thrombosis with non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants after total hip or knee arthroplasty.
In conclusion, in RCTs of pharmacological VTE prophylaxis in patients undergoing THR or TKR, there was no difference in the incidence of post-operative AT among patients treated with NOACs, compared to those treated with enoxaparin. PMID: 25946985 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effectiveness and safety of dabigatran therapy in daily-care patients with atrial fibrillation. Results from the Dresden NOAC Registry.
Abstract The effectiveness and safety of dabigatran for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (SPAF) demonstrated in RE-LY needs to be confirmed in daily care. To evaluate treatment persistence, effectiveness and safety of dabigatran therapy in SPAF patients in daily care, we used data from an ongoing, prospective, non-interventional registry of more than 2,500 patients on novel oral anticoagulants in daily care. Between October 1, 2011 and February 28, 2013, a total of 341 SPAF patients receiving dabigatran were enrolled. The combined endpoint of stroke/transient ischaemic attack/systemic embolism occurred at ...

Anemia predicts thromboembolic events, bleeding complications and mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation: Insights form the RE-LY trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Anemia is associated with a raised risk of thromboembolic events, bleeding complications and mortality in anticoagulated patients with AF. These findings suggest that patients with anemia should be monitored closely during all types of anticoagulant treatment. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Dabigatran adherence in atrial fibrillation patients during the first year after diagnosis: a nationwide cohort study.
CONCLUSION: More than 75% of patients were adherent >80% during the first year. Patients with higher morbidity, including patients with a higher risk of stroke or bleeding, exhibited better adherence. This improvement may be attributable to more regular contact with the health care system. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Perioperative bridging anticoagulation during dabigatran or warfarin interruption among patients with an elective surgery or procedure. Substudy of the RE-LY trial.
In conclusion, in patients who interrupted dabigatran or warfarin for a surgery/procedure in the RE-LY trial, use of bridging anticoagulation appeared to increase the risk for major bleeding irrespective of dabigatran or warfarin interruption. PMID: 25472710 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Efficacy and safety of edoxaban in comparison with dabigatran, rivaroxaban and apixaban for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation. An indirect comparison analysis.
Abstract Large Phase 3 clinical trials for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) have compared non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) against warfarin, with the edoxaban trial only recently reported. In the absence of head to head trials directly comparing these NOACs against each other, we compared the efficacy and safety of edoxaban to other agents by an indirect comparison analysis. We performed an indirect comparison analysis of edoxaban (2 dose strategies) against apixaban (1 dose), dabigatran etexilate (2 doses) and rivaroxaban (1 dose), for their relative efficacy and safety against ea...

New oral anticoagulants for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation: impact of study design, double counting and unexpected findings on interpretation of study results and conclusions.
Abstract Four recently introduced new oral anticoagulants (dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban and edoxaban) have been shown to be at least as efficacious and safe as warfarin for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation in their respective trials. The first three have been approved, while edoxaban is awaiting regulatory approval. Several guidelines have endorsed the approved new oral anticoagulants over warfarin because of their favourable risk-benefit ratio, low propensity for food and drug interactions, and lack of requirement for routine coagulation monitoring. In this invited review, we summarise ...
