Anticoagulation Update for Internists ACP Meeting September 17, 2011
Disclosure: H.-Joachim Reimers • Dr. Reimers has no relevant financial interests to disclose • Dr. Reimers will discuss use of drugs for unapproved indications
Background Coagulation pathway involved in the formation of venous and arterial thrombi Inhibition of coagulation pathway (“anticoagulation”) major strategy for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis and treatment
“Classical Anticoagulants” Parenteral agents that potentiate indirectly antithrombin activity - Unfractionated heparin - LMWH - Fondaparinux Oral Vitamin K antagonists - warfarin
Disadvantages of Warfarin • >10-fold interindividual variation in therapeutic dose due to genetic polymorphisms (e.g. CYP 2C9 and VKORC1) • Pharmacokinetics influenced by - dietary Vitamin K - other medications - alcohol - patient age - body weight - various disease states • Necessitates monitoring
New Oral Anticoagulants Selective for one specific coagulation factor (either thrombin or factor Xa) Clinical development advanced Some available for prevention and treatment of thrombosis
New Oral Anticoagulants • Developed to replace warfarin • Streamline long-term prevention and treatment of thrombosis
Comparison of the Features of New Oral Anticoagulants Features Rivaroxab. ApixabanDabigatran • Target • Molecular weight (D) • Prodrug • Bioavailability (%) • Time to peak (h) • Half – Life (h) • Renal excretion (%)

On behalf of the Einstein investigators Oral rivaroxaban for the acute and continued treatment of symptomatic venous thromboemboli 37
Rivaroxaban – EINSTEIN program • consists of three randomized trials of rivaroxaban: • one for the treatment of acute DVT • one for the treatment of acute PE • one for continued treatment in patients who have received treatment for acute deep-vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism (the Continued Treatment Study). • Report of the results of the first and third trials; the second trial is ongoing.

Oral rivaroxaban given initially in the acute phase in a dose of 15 mg twice daily for 3 weeks, followed by 20 mg once daily, offers clinicians and patients a simple, single-drug approach for the acute and continued treatment of VTE that potentially improves the benefit–risk profile of anticoagulation Conclusions 54
