Global Collaboration39 countries, 1034 sites, 18,201 patients 1,993 patients were recruited from East Asian countries including China (n=843), Japan (n=336), South Korea (n=310), Philippines(n=205), Malaysia (n=126), Hong Kong (n=76) and Singapore (n=40) Poland: 314 Finland: 26 Sweden: 217 Hungary: 455 Norway: 90 Romania: 274 Russia: 1800 Canada: 1057 Ukraine: 956 Denmark: 339 U.K.: 434 Turkey: 6 Netherlands: 309 United States: 3433 Japan: 336 Belgium: 194 China: 843 South Korea: 310 Germany: 854 Mexico: 609 India: 601 France: 35 Taiwan: 57 Spain: 230 Hong Kong: 76 Czech Rep: 165 Philippines: 205 Austria: 34 Colombia: 111 Malaysia: 126 Italy: 178 Singapore: 40 Brazil: 700 Israel: 344 Peru: 213 Chile: 258 Australia: 322 South Africa: 89 Argentina: 1561 Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer
Conclusion- East Asia vs Non East Asia • The ARISTOTLE trial enrolled over 1900 patients from East Asian countries. These patients were of lower body weight and tended to have poorer INR control with warfarin. • Despite similar CHADS2 scores, the overall rate of stroke was higher in East Asian than non-East Asian patients. • Apixaban had consistent benefits when compared with warfarin on stroke or systemic embolism in East Asian and non-East Asian patients. • A tendency toward a greater reduction in bleeding was seen with apixaban compared with warfarin in East Asian compared with non-East Asian patients. • Rates of intracranial bleeding on warfarin were higher in East Asian than non-East Asian patients. • These data support that apixaban is an attractive alternative to warfarin among East Asian as well as non-East Asian patients with nonvalvular AF.
