• Summarize findings from pivotal trials with the new oral anticoagulants (NOA) in non-valvular atrial fibrillation and VTE

• Recognize ongoing concerns with these new agents, and how pharmacists can assist in assuring their safe and effective use

ITT = intention to treat; D-150 = dabigatran 150mg twice daily; D-110 = dabigatran 110mg twice daily; R = rivaroxaban; A = apixaban; TTR = time within therapeutic range for the warfarin arm of the respective studies; NNT/yr = number needed to treat per year with new oral anticoagulant versus warfarin to prevent one primary endpoint , N/A = not applicable as risk reduction was not statistically significant

Safety of NOA versus Warfarinin Atrial Fibrillation

• Intracranial hemorrhage– Less with all NOA versus warfarin

– NNT/year from 196-500

• Major hemorrhage

– Less with apixaban or with D-110

• NNT/year 104 and 153 respectively

– No difference with rivaroxaban or with D-150

• Gastrointestinal hemorrhage– More with rivaroxaban or with D-150

– No difference with apixaban or with D-110

New Oral AnticoagulantsVenous Thromboembolism Trials

• Favorable evidence as a whole

• Caveats with trial designs (especially prevention trials)

• Currently only rivaroxaban FDA approved for any VTE indications

• Patient and facility factors will determine integration into practice

Not all a Bed of Roses:Selected Issues

• Adherence

• Renal function

• Drug interactions

• Shifting benefit/risk profile

• Periprocedural management

• Special populations

ARISTOTLE 25.3 27.5 0.001

⎯ Area for active research⎯ Opportunity for local initiatives⎯ Smartphone applications/SMS messages⎯ Pill boxes-not with dabigatran⎯ Manufacturer support programs

Renal Function

• Patients excluded from pivotal trials if significant renal dysfunction– RE-LY (dabigatran) and ROCKET-AF (rivaroxaban) if CrCl <

30ml/min

– ARISTOTLE (apixaban) if CrCl < 25ml/min

• Dose reductions (Afib) as follows– Dabigatran 75mg bid if CrCl 15-30ml/min

– Rivaroxaban 15mg daily if CrCl 15-49ml/min

– Apixaban 2.5mg twice daily if patient had 2 of following: age > 80, weight < 60kg or SCr > 1.5mg/dl

Renal Function

• Avoid nephrotoxic drugs (e.g. NSAIDs)

• Avoid interacting drugs if renal impairment present

• Monitor yearly in all

– Every 6 months if CrCl 30-60ml/min

– Every 3 months if CrCl < 30ml/min

– In event of acute illness

Apixaban prescribing information. Bristol Myers Squibb Company, 2012

Drug Interactions

• Role of the pharmacist

– Recognize significant drug interactions

– Consider other factors (e.g. age, renal function)

– Anticipate potentially significant interactions

• e.g. cyclosporine, tacrolimus

– Remain vigilant

Other Selected Issues

• Shifting benefit/risk profile

– Age, renal function, history of GI bleed, time within therapeutic range with warfarin

• Periprocedural management

– Establish local policy and procedures

– Package inserts are useful

– Consider rapid onset/quick offset

Other Selected Issues

• Special populations– Avoid temptation to extrapolate benefits/risks

– Example: mechanical prosthetic valves

• RE-ALIGN trial with dabigatran terminated early

• Greater thromboembolic events (valve thrombosis, MI, CVA/TIA)

• Excess major bleeding (pericardial effusions)

“Careful and considerate prescribing is crucial—you're not giving chocolates to patients, you are giving powerful anticoagulants.

They will work well if you give them correctly and use them appropriately.”
