Dabigatran given as pro-drug.

Anticoagulant drug mechanisms Indirect inhibitors Direct inhibitors Indirect vs direct inhibitors. Parenteral vs oral. Thrombin vs Xa. Note that warfarin doesn’t block actions of clotting factors but just lowers blood levels. Ansell, 2011 HTRS meeting

Anticoagulant drug targets Heparin VII Fibrin clot X V II IX VIII XI Warfarin Fondaparinux LMWH Heparins get more selective the smaller you make them. Warfarin inhibits proteins C and S, which may cause paradoxical thrombosis in some settings (protein C deficiency, HIT, cancer) The most important targets for antic oagulant therapy are factors X and II – thrombotic potential most heavily dependent on the activities of these two factors

New anticoagulant drug targets VII Fibrin clot X V II IX VIII XI Rivaroxaban Apixaban (More to come) New drugs selectively target IIa and Xa Ximelagatran was the first drug tested; was an effective anticoagulant but eventually withdrawn due to LFT abnormalities in a few pts. Dabigatran

Pharmacology of oral anticoagulant drugs Warfarin Dabigatran Rivaroxaban Apixaban Target Vit K epoxide reductase Thrombin Factor Xa Oral bioavailability 99% 6-7% 60-80% 80% Tmax 72-96 h 2 h 2.5-4 h 3 h Half-life 40 h 14-17 h 5-9 h 9-13 h elderly 8-15 h Metabolism Cytochrome P450 80% renal 20% biliary 66% renal 33% biliary 25% renal 75% biliary Ansell, 2011 HTRS meeting

Drug interactions with new oral anticoagulants Major differences vs warfarin: Rapid onset of action. Shorter half-life so given twice daily for most indications (compliance important). Major component of renal excretion. No specific antidote. Monitoring not routinely required but levels hard to measure if you need them. All susceptible to drug interactions, but substantially less so than warfarin. Genetic and dietary factors do not appear to be important in pharmacology.

Cost per month of oral anticoagulants Rivaroxaban (20 mg/day) : $348 Dabigatran (150 mg bid): $243 Warfarin (7.5 mg/day): $31 About 10x as expensive as warfarin, but much cheaper than LMWH.

Disadvantages of older anticoagulants Warfarin Delayed onset of action Not suitable for initial treatment of acute thrombosis Complex pharmacology (genetics, diet, drug interactions) Need for monitoring

New oral anticoagulant scorecard Plus Rapid onset of action – can use for initial Rx, no bridging Fewer drug interactions No known food interactions Less genetic variation in dose-response Less dependent on liver metabolism than VKAs No routine monitoring, fixed dose Patient convenience More cost-effective? Minus Risk of bleeding in patients with impaired kidney function Harder to determine compliance or overdose Expense (vs VKAs) Short half-life → greater risk of treatment failure with missed doses? Rebound effect? (Doubtful) Antidote or reversing agent? Potential for overuse?

Who are the best candidates for new oral anticoagulants? Patients who have unstable INR on warfarin not due to poor compliance Good renal function No mechanical valve (not enough data) Not pregnant Patients < 75 years old No history of lower GI bleeding

9/20/10: FDA approval for stroke prevention in non-valvular Afib Dabigatran Pradaxa® 9/20/10: FDA approval for stroke prevention in non-valvular Afib Turning to the individual drugs. Dabigatran was the first to get to market in US.

Dabigatran Dose Affects PT/INR and PTT (but not useful for monitoring) Stroke prevention in A fib: 110-150 mg bid 110 mg dose not available in US For patients with CrCl 15-30: 75 mg bid Not recommended for CrCl < 15 or dialysis dependent Prevention of recurrent VTE*: 150 mg bid Postop VTE prophylaxis*: 110-150 mg once daily Affects PT/INR and PTT (but not useful for monitoring) Drug may degrade over time after exposure to air – must be kept in original packaging Unused tablets should be discarded after 60 days * Not FDA-approved indication

Dabigatran Low bioavailability → high concentration of drug in lower GI tract Prodrug converted to active drug by esterases in gut Higher risk of lower GI bleeding

Dabigatran pharmacokinetics effect of renal function, age, gender, drug interactions Conclusion: Dose adjustment only necessary for impaired renal function 50% dose reduction recommended for patients with CrCl 15-30 mL/min J Thromb Haemost 2011; 9:2168

Rivaroxaban Xarelto® 7/1/11: FDA approval for DVT prophylaxis after hip or knee surgery 9/8/11: FDA approval for stroke prevention in Afib

Rivaroxaban Dose: Post op VTE prophylaxis: 10 mg once daily Stroke prevention in Afib: 20 mg once daily Acute VTE treatment*: 12-15 mg twice daily Secondary prevention of VTE*: 20 mg once daily Acute coronary syndrome*: 2.5-5 mg twice daily Use with caution in moderate renal impairment (CrCL 30-49) Avoid use if CrCl < 30 (not dialyzable) Avoid use in severe liver disease *Not FDA-approved indication Treatment trials have used higher/BID doses of R initially

Eliquis® FDA approval pending (June 2012?) Apixaban Eliquis® FDA approval pending (June 2012?) Likely to be on the market in the next year or so.

Apixaban Dose: Post op VTE prophylaxis: 2.5 mg twice daily Stroke prevention in Afib: 5 mg twice daily Avoid use in severe liver disease Less dependent on renal excretion – safer in pts with renal insuff? Less safe in pts with liver dz?

NEW ORAL ANTICOAGULANTS VS WARFARIN: BLEEDING RISK

NEW ORAL ANTICOAGULANTS VS WARFARIN: MORTALITY

Apixaban vs aspirin for atrial fibrillation The AVERROES trial Treatment Stroke or embolism Major bleeding Intracranial hemorrhage Death Apixaban 1.6%/yr 1.4%/yr 0.2% 3.5%/yr Aspirin 3.7%/yr 1.2%/yr 0.3% 4.4%/yr Clearly more effective than ASA in Afib (no surprise) – safety comparable Study stopped early because of clear benefit of apixaban over aspirin NEJM 2011; 364:817

LESSONS FROM AF TRIALS WITH NEW ORAL AGENTS Main result: New agents at least as effective as warfarin, can be given without routine monitoring Other/unexpected findings: Reduction in intracranial bleeding Higher MI rates Higher rates of GI bleeding (active drug in lower intestine) Extracranial bleeding risk higher in older patients

Rivaroxaban: evidence of rebound effect Rivaroxaban: evidence of rebound effect? Events after switching to standard therapy Difference appears > 1 year after stopping rivaroxaban More events after stopping R than W. Reason? Not clear if this is real or a statistical artifact. “Standard therapy” in W group was mainly more W, whereas in R group this required switching drugs (= more risk). Median time to therapeutic INR in R group was 13 days, vs 3 days in W group NEJM 2011; 365:883

Dabigatran vs warfarin for acute VTE The RE-COVER trial Subjects: 1274 patients with acute VTE Intervention: Standard course of parenteral anticoagulation followed by either dabigatran 150 mg bid or standard warfarin Method: Randomized double blind trial Primary outcome: 6 month incidence of recurrent symptomatic VTE and related death Funded by drug manufacturer “Non-inferiority” trial Warfarin patients spent 60% of time within INR range TTR of around 60% is OK, not great. D given following course of LMWH or UFH – could potentially be used as sole Rx. NEJM 2009; 361: 2342

Dabigatran vs warfarin for acute VTE The RE-COVER trial Treatment VTE recurrence Major bleeding Any bleeding Dabigatran 2.4% 1.6% 16.1% Warfarin 2.1% 1.9% 21.9% Conclusion: A fixed dose of dabigatran is as effective and safe as warfarin for treatment of acute venous thromboembolism NEJM 2009; 361: 2342

Rivaroxaban for acute VTE The EINSTEIN trial Subjects: 3449 patients with acute VTE Intervention: Rivaroxaban 12 mg twice daily x 3 weeks, then 20 mg/d vs enoxaparin (minimum of 5 days) followed by a VKA Treatment duration 3, 6 or 12 mo Method: Open-label randomized “non-inferiority” trial Primary outcome: Recurrent symptomatic VTE and related death Funded by drug manufacturer Warfarin patients spent 58% of time within INR range R vs standard treatment for acute VTE. INR control in the standard treatment arm in this study was not particularly good. NEJM 2010; 363: 2499

Rivaroxaban for acute VTE The EINSTEIN-DVT trial Treatment Recurrent VTE Bleeding Rivaroxaban 2.1% 8.1% Standard treatment 3.0% Conclusion: rivaroxaban is as effective and safe as standard treatment for acute VTE NEJM 2010; 363: 2499

Rivaroxaban to prevent recurrent VTE The EINSTEIN-Extension trial Subjects: 1196 patients who had completed 6-12 months of treatment for DVT Intervention: Rivaroxaban 20 mg/d vs placebo Method: Randomized double-blind trial Primary outcome: recurrent symptomatic VTE NEJM 2010; 363: 2499

Rivaroxaban to prevent recurrent VTE The EINSTEIN-Extension trial Risk-benefit ratio for R in this setting appears favorable. (But is it significantly better than for warfarin?) Rivaroxaban prevented 34 recurrent events at a cost of 4 major bleeding events 1 recurrence prevented per 15 patients treated; 1 major bleed per 139 patients treated NEJM 2010; 363: 2499

Rivaroxaban for Pulmonary Embolism The EINSTEIN-PE trial Subjects: 4832 patients with acute symptomatic PE Intervention: Rivaroxaban 15 mg bid x 3 weeks, then 20 mg/d vs standard therapy (enoxaparin followed by VKA) for 3-12 mo Method: Randomized open label non-inferiority trial Funded by drug manufacturers Primary outcome: recurrent symptomatic VTE Warfarin patients spent 62.7% of time in target INR range NEJM 2012; 366: 1287

Rivaroxaban for Pulmonary Embolism The EINSTEIN-PE trial Treatment Recurrent VTE Bleeding Major Bleeding Rivaroxaban 2.1% 10.3% 1.1% Standard treatment 1.8% 11.4% 2.2% Conclusion: rivaroxaban as effective as standard treatment for initial and extended treatment of pulmonary embolism, may be safer NEJM 2012; 366: 1287

VTE PROPHYLAXIS

Dabigatran vs enoxaparin prophylaxis after total knee or hip arthroplasty RE-MODEL J Thromb Haemost 2007;5:2178 RE-NOVATE Lancet 2007;370:949 Surgery knee hip # pts 2076 3494 Drug doses Dab: 150 or 220 qd Enox: 40 mg qd Duration (d) 6-10 28-35 VTE or death (%) D150: 40.5 D220: 36.4 E: 37.7 D150: 8.6 D220: 6.0 E: 6.7 Major Bleeding D150: 1.5 D220: 1.3 E: 1.3 D150: 1.3 D220: 2.0 E: 1.6 Two orthopedic trials showed similar outcomes vs LMWH. Knee trial outcomes worse, probably related to not giving the drugs for a sufficient length of time. Both trials showed dabigatran (either dose) had similar efficacy and safety compared to enoxaparin

Rivaroxaban vs enoxaparin prophylaxis after total knee or hip arthroplasty: the RECORD trials NEJM 2008;358:2775 RECORD 2 Lancet 2008;372:31 RECORD 3 NEJM 2008;358:2776 RECORD 4 Lancet 2009;373:1673 Surgery hip knee # pts 4541 2509 2531 3148 Duration (d) 35 Riv: 31-35 Enox: 10-14 14 11-15 VTE or death (%) R: 1.1 E: 3.7 R: 2.0 E: 9.3 R: 9.6 E: 18.9 R: 6.9 E: 10.1 Bleeding R: 0.3 E: 0.1 (major bleed) R: 6.6 E: 5.5 (any bleed) R: 0.6 E: 0.5 R: 0.7 E: 0.3 Four trials of R vs E in high risk ortho surgery all showed better efficacy for R. Note bleeding rates for R are somewhat higher across the board. All trials with rivaroxaban 10 mg/d vs enoxaparin 40 mg/d All had mandatory venography All showed rivaroxaban had superior efficacy vs enoxaparin with similar safety

Apixaban vs enoxaparin prophylaxis after total knee or hip arthroplasty: the ADVANCE trials NEJM 2009;361:594 ADVANCE 2 Lancet 2010;375:807 ADVANCE 3 NEJM 2010;363:2487 Surgery knee hip # pts # evaluable for efficacy 3195 2287 3057 1973 5407 3866 Duration (d) 10-14 35 VTE or death (%) A: 9.0 E: 8.8 A: 15 E: 24 A: 1.4 E: 3.9 Bleeding A: 2.9 E: 4.3 A: 4 E: 5 A: 4.8 E: 5.0 Safer than E in high risk ortho surgery? Meta-analysis of data from ADVANCE-1 and ADVANCE-2 shows that apixaban is non-inferior to enoxaparin with respect to efficacy, and has a “considerable” safety advantage (Huang et al, Thromb Haemost 2011;105: 245)

Monitoring Lotsa luck

Measuring blood levels of new anticoagulants Dabigatran: Modified thrombin time assay (Hemoclot®) Rivaroxaban and apixaban: Anti-Xa activity (similar to LMWH assay) When to consider measuring drug level: Detect/quantify overdose Screen for drug accumulation (eg, impaired renal or liver function) Limited usefulness for assessing compliance due to short drug half-lives Dabigatran assays likely to be available only via send-out for most hospitals. More hospitals doing anti-Xa assays but still not routinely available most places. Compliance testing dicey due to rapid onset and short duration of drug effect. Probably better off counting pills.

Reversing Lotsa luck

No specific antidote for any of the new OACs Activated charcoal will reduce drug absorption if administered within a few hours of ingestion Rivaroxaban & apixaban effect may be reversed by giving prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) Dabigatran is dialyzable Case reports suggest that recombinant factor VIIa (NovoSeven™) is ineffective vs dabigatran (Thromb Haemost 2012;108:585)

Reversal via dialysis? Dabigatran has low protein binding, is dialyzable 60% removed in 2-3 h No data on efficacy Rivaroxaban has high protein binding, not dialyzable

Risk factors are similar to those cited for surgical patients, but unlike surgical patients, in medical settings underlying factors may be more important than the current medical condition in determining overall risk [16]. The THRIFT II document, on which this slide is based, recommends clinical assessment and a series of blood tests to detect congenital and acquired molecular risk factors [6]. The International Consensus Statement suggests a similar series of blood tests for patients with a personal or family history of VTE [7]. 6

Maladie thromboembolique veineuse: Fréquence en fonction de l'âge Slide A25 Maladie thromboembolique veineuse: Fréquence en fonction de l'âge USA, l'incidence annuelle TVP est approximativement 0.1% NIH Consensus Statements 1986; 6:1–8. TVP et EP sont responsable de 300,000 – 600,000 hospitalisations par an Silverstein MD, et al. Arch. Int. Med. 1998; 158:585–593. Annual incidence 0.5 0.4 0.3 Key marketing messages DVT is a common condition, particularly in the elderly as the incidence increases with age. PE is responsible for a large number of hospital admissions. At the same time, the incidence of PE among patients already in hospital is even higher than the number of patients who are admitted to hospital with PE. (% hospital admissions) Incidence of PE 0.2 0.1 DVT is a relatively common condition, with an annual incidence of 1 in 1,000 in the USA. Venous thrombosis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality, and is responsible for 300,000–600,000 hospitalisations in the USA each year. PE is potentially the most serious complication of VTE. Although uncommon in younger life, the incidence of PE rises through adulthood and confirmed PE is responsible for nearly 1 in every 200 (0.5%) hospital admissions among elderly patients (>80 years of age). PE is an important cause of mortality. For example, each year in the USA 600,000 people develop PE and 60,000 die as a result. The 3-month mortality for PE patients is 17%.

AF is a common disorder Responsible for a third of all hospitalizations for cardiac rhythm disturbances1 Estimated prevalence: Europe: 4.5 million1 USA: 5.1 million2 Affects approximately 2.5% of the US population2 Nearly one in four people at age 55 years will go on to develop AF (24% of men and 22% of women)3 1.

Consequences of AF Formation of blood clots (thrombosis) on the atrial walls that can dislodge (embolize), leading to stroke and systemic embolism Reduction in cardiac output can precipitate heart failure, leading to distinctive symptoms such as: Peripheral oedema Dyspnoea Pulmonary oedema Fatigue Chest pain

Management of AF has two broad objectives Prevention of complications, including thromboembolism (particularly ischaemic stroke) and heart failure Relief of symptoms Choice of antithrombotic therapy should be tailored to the patient based on: Management of AF patients is aimed at reducing symptoms and at preventing severe complications associated with AF Prevention of AF-related complications relies on antithrombotic therapy, control of ventricular rate, and adequate therapy of concomitant cardiac diseases Reference ESC guidelines: Camm J et al.

Novel agents for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation Disclaimer: Dabigatran etexilate, rivaroxaban, and apixaban are now approved for clinical use in stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation in certain countries. Please check local prescribing information for further details

Novel agents target specific molecules in the coagulation cascade Tissue factor/VIIa X IX Vitamin K antagonists VIIIa IXa Direct Factor Xa inhibitors Apixaban Rivaroxaban Edoxaban Va Xa AT Direct thrombin inhibitors Dabigatran II Thrombin Vitamin K antagonists inhibit coagulation by depleting available clotting factors. Novel agents inhibit specific molecules within the coagulation cascade. Direct Factor Xa inhibitors exert their anticoagulant effect by preventing Factor Xa from binding to its substrates, thereby blocking the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. Direct thrombin inhibitors exert their anticoagulant effect by preventing thrombin from catalysing the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin. Weitz J, Bates S.

ESC 2012 focused update: choice of anticoagulant Yes Atrial fibrillation Valvular AF* <65 years and lone AF (including females) Assess risk of stroke CHA2DS2-VASc score No antithrombotic therapy Oral anticoagulant therapy NOAC VKA 1 No (i.e. non-valvular) No ≥2 Assess bleeding risk (HAS-BLED score) Consider patient values and preferences = CHA2DS2-VASc 0 = best option = CHA2DS2-VASc 1 = CHA2DS2-VASc ≥2 = alternative option The process of choosing anticoagulant therapy, based on the ESC 2012 update, can be summarized in this flow diagram. A key point to note is that antiplatelet therapy with ASA plus clopidogrel or – less effectively – ASA only should be considered in patients who refuse any OAC or cannot tolerate anticoagulation for reasons unrelated to bleeding.

Avantages des DOAC Efficacité au moins équivalente voire supérieure au traitement de référence Sécurité et facilité d’emploi Rapidité d’action. Pas de bridging Doses fixes Pas de suivi biologique Intéractions médicamenteuses limitées Pas d’intéractions alimentaires

Inconvénients des DOAC Elimination rénale (25-80%) Variabilité pharmacocinétique interindividuelle Pas de retentissement sur les tests courants de coagulation, en particulier l’INR Pas d’antidote Gestion des saignements et des procédures en urgence
