Oral anticoagulant therapy :a look to the future Alexander G. G. Turpie Department of Medicine HHS-General Hospital Hamilton, Canada
Antithrombotics That Have Changed Clinical Practice Anticoagulants • Low-molecular-weight heparin Antiplatelet Drugs • Thienopyridines • Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitors
But…………………….. for oral anticoagulation, Vitamin K antagonists (warfarin) remain the only available option
The ‘ideal’ oral anticoagulant • Oral, preferably once daily • Rapid onset and offset of action • Predictable PK and PD • Low propensity for food and drug interactions • Fixed doses • Wide therapeutic window • Easy to use with no need for monitoring

Dabigatran: phase III studies • RE-LY (stroke prevention in patients with AF) • Planned enrolment 15,000 patients • Dabigatran 110 and 150 mg bid compared with warfarin • Treatment duration up to 3 years • RE-SOLVE, RE-COVER and RE-MEDY • Ongoing studies in treatment and secondary prevention of VTE

Rivaroxaban for the treatment and secondary prevention of VTE • Two large, phase II studies of rivaroxaban for 3 months for the treatment and longterm secondary prevention of VTE: • ODIXa-DVT : Rivaroxaban 10–30 mg bid and 40 mg od • EINSTEIN DVT : Rivaroxaban 20–40 mg od • LMWH followed by a VKA comparator in both studies Agnelli et al. Circulation 2007; Büller. Eur Heart J 2006

Efficacy endpoints Primary • Total venous thromboembolism (VTE): any deep vein thrombosis (DVT), non-fatal pulmonary embolism (PE), and all-cause mortality Secondary • Major VTE: proximal DVT, non-fatal PE, and VTE-related death • DVT: any, proximal, distal • Symptomatic VTE All endpoints were adjudicated centrally by independent, blinded committees
Safety endpoints Main • Major bleeding starting after the first blinded dose and ≤2 days after last dose • Bleeding that was fatal, into a critical organ or required re-operation • Extra-surgical-site bleeding associated with a drop in hemoglobin ≥2 g/dL or requiring transfusion of ≥2 units blood Other • Any bleeding on treatment* • Non-major bleeding* • Hemorrhagic wound complications* • Cardiovascular adverse events • Liver enzyme levels All endpoints were adjudicated centrally by independent, blinded committees*Up to 2 days after last dose of study medication
