Effects of ABCB1 genotypes on the pharmacokinetics and clinical outcomes of new oral anticoagulants: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Conclusions Cmax was lower in carriers of ABCB1 rs1045642 CC than in those of TT and in carriers of rs2032582 GG than in those of the A/T allele, and AUC0-∞ was lower in carriers of rs1045642 CC than in those of TT. Conversely, ABCB1 rs4148738 genotypes did not affect primary clinical endpoints in dabigatran-administered patients. Future studies should analyze the relationships of ABCB1 genotypes with the pharmacokinetics and clinical outcomes of specific NOACs. PMID: 30338730 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Oral antiplatelet and anticoagulant agents in the prevention and management of ischemic stroke.
Abstract Despite numerous advances over the last 50 years, stroke continues to be a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. The treatment and prevention of stroke has undergone extensive study, and significant advances in medical management have occurred within the past decade principally with the development of new classes of orally active anticoagulant drugs. Here we review these recent breakthroughs and the varying roles of anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents in the prevention and management of different ischemic stroke subtypes, as well as describe the benefits and ongoing challenges to incorporati...
