Effectiveness and Safety of Enoxaparin Versus Unfractionated Heparin as Thromboprophylaxis in Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients: Real-World Evidence
CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE: When compared with UFH, enoxaparin was associated with a significant reduction in thrombotic events or mortality among COVID-19 patients. The results need confirmation from randomized controlled trials.PMID:35942505 | DOI:10.1177/10600280221115299

Safety and Pharmacokinetics of DS-1040 Drug-Drug Interactions With Aspirin, Clopidogrel, and Enoxaparin.
Abstract DS-1040, a novel low-molecular-weight inhibitor of activated thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor, is under development for the treatment of thromboembolic diseases including venous thromboembolism and acute ischemic stroke. Here we describe the results of 3 studies that evaluated the safety and tolerability of DS-1040 along with the effect on DS-1040 pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters, when dosed alone or when coadministered with aspirin (NCT02071004), clopidogrel (NCT02560688), or enoxaparin in healthy subjects. Concomitant administration of single-dose DS-1040 with multiple-dose aspirin, multiple-d...

Betrixaban for Extended Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis in High-Risk Hospitalized Patients: Putting the APEX Results into Practice
AbstractAcutely ill hospitalized medical patients remain at high thromboembolic risk for several weeks after discharge. Previous trials with extended-duration thromboprophylaxis using enoxaparin, apixaban, and rivaroxaban failed to achieve acceptable net clinical benefit, largely due to excess of major bleeding. Betrixaban is a novel factor Xa inhibitor with unique pharmacokinetic properties, including low renal clearance, long half-life, and low peak-to-trough ratio. The phase III APEX trial (N = 7513) compared a betrixaban 160 mg loading dose followed by 80 mg once daily for 35–42 days, with enoxaparin 40 mg once...

Pharmacological Prophylaxis for Venous Thromboembolism Among Hospitalized Patients With Acute Medical Illness: An Electronic Medical Records Study
The objectives of this study were to examine pharmacological prophylaxis against VTE among hospitalized medically ill patients and to assess demographic and clinical correlates related to VTE prophylaxis. A retrospective (1999–2010) electronic medical records study included patients aged 40 years and older hospitalized for at least 3 days, with significant medical illness or with a VTE hospitalization 30–365 days before admission. Each patient's first qualifying hospitalization was analyzed. Exclusions were if VTE treatment was started within 1 day of admission, or if warfarin (and not heparin or enoxaparin) was used. ...

Rivaroxaban: an oral factor xa inhibitor.
CONCLUSIONS: Based on the findings of the studies reported in this review, rivaroxaban is an effective option for the prevention of VTE after orthopedic surgery, stroke prevention for nonvalvular AF, and treatment of VTE. At this time, rivaroxaban cannot be recommended for secondary risk reduction after ACS because of the increased bleeding risk. PMID: 23328267 [PubMed - in process]
