Atrial Fibrillation Management Past, Present and Future C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. Harvard Medical School
Conflict of Interest Statement • Dr. Gibson has received research grant support and consulting monies from all major manufacturers of antithrombin and antiplatelet agents including all sponsors of Factor Xa inhibitors (BMS, Pfizer, Johnson and Johnson, Portola, DSI) and Factor II inhibitors (Boehringer Ingelheim) C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D.
Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke • AF responsible for 1/6 of all strokes • Warfarin reduces stroke in AF by 64% • significant increase in intracranial and other hemorrhage • Difficult to use • Only 50% of eligible patients receive warfarin • An alternative treatment is needed C.

An on treatment or per-protocol analysis is generally performed in the assessment of non-inferiority. If numerous patients come off of study drug, this biases the trial towards a non-inferior result in an ITT analysis. This is the basis for performing a per-protocol analysis in a non-inferiority assessment. C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. Patel MR et al, NEJM 2011; Connolly SJ, et al.

Post Marketing Surveillance • Excess bleeding reported in some countries for Dabigatran compared to coumadin. • Most likely this is due to the fact that bleeding with warfarin was expected, and it was not expected with Dabigatran
Post Marketing Surveillance • The EMA found that “the frequency of occurrence of fatal bleedings with Pradaxa seen in post-marketing data was significantly lower than what was observed in the clinical trials that supported the authorisation of the medicine” • “On the basis of the available evidence, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) concluded that the benefits of Pradaxa continue to outweigh its risks and that it remains an important alternative to other blood-thinning agents.” http://www.ema.europa.eu/ema/index.jsp?curl=pages/news_and_events/news/2012/05/news_detail_001518.jsp&mid=WC0b01ac058004d5c1

Bleeding Events in Japanese Subjects * Overall Hori M, et al: Circ J 75: 800–805, 2011
Summary / Japanese patients • The demographics of the Japanese subgroup differ from the overall population in prior stroke and MI of RE-LY but the overall risk score is similar. • The stroke and systemic embolism frequencies in the Japanese subgroup are comparable with the overall RE-LY results. • The major bleeding rates of 150mg bid in the Japanese subgroups, are generally consistent with the overall population. • The minor bleeding rates of Japanese subgroups, are higher than the overall population.
