ivaroxaban and due to this the net clinicalbenefitfavored enoxaparin. Because patients in Magellan constituteda heterogeneous group affected by unique diseases, a subgroupanalysis is at present ongoing to identify patients whocould be related with a net clinical benefit.Therapy Trials.EINSTEIN-DVT Docetaxel EVALUATION is aphase III clinical trial comparing rivaroxaban, 15 mg POBID for 3 weeks followed by 20 mg everyday, versus enoxaparinfollowed by VKA, for 3 to 12 months, in patients with acutesymptomatic DVT. The results showed that rivaroxabanhad noninferior efficacy with respect towards the primaryoutcome that was the prevention of symptomatic recurrentDVT. The rate of bleedingwas comparable in between both groups.
EINSTEIN PE is actually a phase III clinical trial, Docetaxel completedbut not published yet, that compares rivaroxaban 15 mg BIDfor 3 weeks followed by 20mg everyday to enoxaparin 40 mg SQBID for a minimum of 5 days, in combination with VKAin the therapy of patients with acute symptomatic PE withor with out symptomatic DVT. The principal endpoint is thecomposite of recurrent DVT and/or PE occurring for the duration of the3-, 6-, and 12-month study therapy periods.EINSTEIN-EXTENSION study is actually a phase III clinicaltrial created to assess the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban20 mg everyday for 6 to 12 months, versus placebo in patientswho had completed 6 to 12 months of anticoagulant treatmentfor their acute episode of VTE. The incidence of VTEwas 1.3% versus 7.1% for rivaroxaban and placebo, respectively. The results demonstrated that rivaroxabanwas related to an 82% relative risk reduction inthe recurrence of VTE in this group of patients.
The rateof bleeding for the rivaroxaban group was low and nonstatisticallysignificant.2.2. Apixaban. Gemcitabine Apixaban is another oral, potent, NSCLC reversible,and direct FXa inhibitor that has been tested for VTE treatmentand prophylaxis. It is a really selective drug and likerivaroxaban can inhibit free FXa also as prothrombinaseactivity. Apixaban has a high oral bioavailability and aftera fast oral absorption within the stomach and modest intestine,reaches a Cmax roughly 1–3 hours immediately after administration.Its half-life is 8–15 hours and about 87% is bound toplasma proteins. Apixaban has a multimodal mechanismof elimination. A lot of the drug is excreted in thefeces, other portion by way of CYP3A4-dependent mechanisms in theliver, and one-fourth of the drug is eliminated within the urine.
For this reason Gemcitabine apixaban most likely might be safelyused in patients with renal and hepatic insufficiency; butlike rivaroxaban, its concomitant use with potent CYP3A4inhibitors like ketoconazole and ritonavir, ought to be avoided.The PT and aPTT are prolonged by the use of apixabanin a concentration-dependent fashion. Even so; since attherapeutic concentrations the influence of apixaban on the PTand aPTT is minimal, these tests aren't sensitive enough forthe monitoring of the drug. In general, if ever needed, anFXa inhibition assay could be the ideal approach to monitor the activity ofapixaban.2.2.1. Clinical Trials of Apixaban in VTE. Apixaban is in theprocess of approval in Europe for prophylaxis immediately after majororthopedic surgery. The ADVANCE 1, 2, and 3 trials are thestudies presented to support this indication.
Other trials toevaluate apixaban for the prevention of VTE in patients hospitalizedor with metastatic cancer are also ongoing.Main Prevention Trials.ADVANCE-1 is actually a phase IIIstudy that compared apixaban 2.5mg PO BID with enoxaparin30mg SQ BID for prevention of VTE immediately after TKR. Bothdrugs had been started 12–24 h immediately after operation as well as the durationof therapy was 10–14 days. The results Docetaxel showed thatapixaban did not meet the prespecified statistical criteria fornon-inferiority, but its use was associatedwith reduce rates of clinically relevant bleeding and it had asimilar adverse-event profile.ADVANCE-2 is actually a phase III clinical trial that comparedapixaban 2.5mg PO BIDwithenoxaparin 40 mg dailyfor preventionof VTE immediately after TKR.
The results Gemcitabine showed that apixabanhad noninferior efficacy with respect towards the principal outcomethat was a composite of total VTE plus all-cause mortality. Further, apixaban was associatedwith a comparable risk of bleeding.ADVANCE-3 is actually a phase III clinical trial comparingapixaban 2.5mg PO BIDwithenoxaparin 40 mg dailyfor thromboprophylaxisafter THR. The principal efficacy outcome,a composite of VTE plus all-cause mortality, occurred in1.4% of the patients within the apixaban group and in 3.9%of the patients within the enoxaparin group. The rates of bleeding inboth groups had been comparable. It was concluded that among patientsundergoing hip replacement, thromboprophylaxiswith apixaban, as compared with enoxaparin, was associatedwith reduce rates of VTE, with out elevated bleeding.ADOPT is actually a phase III clinical trial, completed but notpublished yet, created to assess the efficacy and safety ofapixaban, 2.5 gmg POBID versus enoxaparin 40 mg SQ dailyfor prophylaxis of VTE in acutely ill medical subjects duringand following hospitalization. The principal efficacy outcomeis a composit
