CONTEMPORARY
PREVENTION OF STROKE IN AF
Why do we need long term
anticoagulation ?
• Atrial fibrillation (AF) is responsible for one-third of all strokes
and is the leading cause of embolic stroke
• Stroke is the most serious complication of AF
• There is 5 foldand 17 foldincrease in the risk of stroke due to
non-valvular AF (NVAF) and valvular AF respectively
• About one in four people at age 55 years will go on to develop
AF (24% of men and 22% of women)
• 1 in 20 (5%) AF patients can have a stroke if not prevented
• In excess of 7% per year can be attributed to rate of brain
ischemia due to transient ischemic attacks and clinically ‘silent’
strokes, associated with Non valvular Atrial Fibrillation
PREVENTION OF STROKE
IN ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
• CLASS 1 INDICATIONS:
1.Presence of cardiac thrombus / DVT

PREVENTION OF STROKE
IN NON CARDIOEMBOLIC EVENTS
“No evidence that warfarin is superior to
aspirin in stroke prevention”
Evidence based on the following landmark trials-
•WATCH- low ef CHF
•APASS- APLS syndrome pts.
•PICSS- Patent foramen ovale pts.
•WARSS trials
IN H.I.T Syndromes
Withdraw heparin and initiate one of the
following:
•Lepirudin – preferred over Argatroban in hepatic
diseases
•Argatroban- preferred over lepirudin and
fondaparinux in renal diseases
•Fondaparinux
“Warfarin NOT TO BE USED IMMEDIATELY post
HMWH/LMWH”
Pre Cardiac catherisation (PCI)
• LMWH / Bivaluridin preferred post MI
Potential Limitations of New
Anticoagulants
• Antidotes
– None of the newer agents has a specific antidote
• Monitoring
• Adverse Drug Events
• Compliance
• Cost
• Clinical Trials vs. Actual Clinical Practice
• Patient populations not even studied (i.e. Cancer)

    Why do weneed long term anticoagulation ? • Atrial fibrillation (AF) is responsible for one-third of all strokes and is the leading cause of embolic stroke • Stroke is the most serious complication of AF • There is 5 foldand 17 foldincrease in the risk of stroke due to non-valvular AF (NVAF) and valvular AF respectively • About one in four people at age 55 years will go on to develop AF (24% of men and 22% of women) • 1 in 20 (5%) AF patients can have a stroke if not prevented • In excess of 7% per year can be attributed to rate of brain ischemia due to transient ischemic attacks and clinically ‘silent’ strokes, associated with Non valvular Atrial Fibrillation

  • #34 Warfarin acts as an anticoagulant by blocking the ability of Vitamin K to carboxylate the Vitamin K dependent clotting factors, thereby reducing their coagulant activity.
  • #40 The indications and where each of these anitcoagualnts are approved to use will be dealt shortly….
  • #41 Was a very atrractive option when introduced, but, Failed to prove superiorty over LMHW and bleeding risks were higher….
  • #44 Potent selective inhibitor of factor Xa. Absorption: well absorbed from GI tract with Bioavail &gt; 80% The terminal t1/2 is ~ 5-9 hrs in young individual and 11-13 hrs in the elderly Dual mechanism of excretion. 66% in the kidneys and the remainder in the feces 30-40% excreted unchanged in the urine and excreted via a combination of glomerular filtration and tubular secretion and the remainder reflects metabolites. Use in caution for pts with renal insufficiency. Intestinal excretion of rivaroxaban appears to be mediated, by P-glyp (transport protein) The drug is contraindicated in pts with severe liver dx b/c of metabolic inactivation may be impaired. Also caution should be used in patients receiving tratment with potent inhibitors of both CYP3A$ and P-glyp (ketoconazole/ritonovir) Reduced fecal and renal clearance of rivaroxaban by these drugs can cause exaggerated anticoagulant effect Rivaroxaban prolongs the PT and aPTT, with the PT being more sensitive than the aPTT depending on the reagents used for testing. The effect of the drug on these tests is short-lived with prolongation only seen at peak drug levels. Factor Xa inhibition is the best test to monitor drug concentrations in plasma.
  • #45 Regulation of Coagulation in major Orthopedic surgery reducing the Risk of DVT and PE (RECORD) RECORD 1 and 2: THR surgery RECORD1: Rivaroxaban 10mg once daily (Primary endpoint: 1.1% vs. 3.7%; p &lt;0.001 Major bleeds: 0.3% vs 0.1%) -RECORD2: Rivaroxaban 10 mg once daily (Primary enpoint: 2.0% vs 9.3%; p&lt;0.001 Major bleeds: 0.1% vs. 0.1%) Results showed an impressive 50% reduction in DVT, nonfatal PE, and all-cause mortality favoring the once daily rivaroxaban treated group over enoxaparin. Also an equally impressive 60% statistically significant risk reduction, again favoring rivaroxaban over enoxaparin for major VTE. Appeared to be no differences in major bleeding or any severity of bleeding between groups.
  • #46 Rivaroxaban 10mg once daily vs. FDA approved Enoxaparin 30 mg SC BID RRR of 31% in primary endpoint (reduction in total VTE events) for rivaroxaban (6.9% vs. 10.1% p = 0.012) There was a trend towards more major bleeding events with rivaroxaban compared with enox, despite use of a 50% higher dose of enoxaparin than in RECORD 1,2, or 3 but the difference was not statistically significant (0.7% vs. 0.3%; P&gt; 0.05)
  • #50 EINSTEIN DVT and PE (Phase II) EINSTEIN Extension: focused on once daily dosing Other studies: ODIXa – HIP (Phase II) vs. Enox ODIXa – HIP2 (Phase II) vs. Enox ODIXa – Knee (Phase II) vs. Enox ODIXa – OD – HIP (Phase II) vs. Enox - ODIXa-DVT (Phase II) vs. Enox and warfarin
  • #51 Absorption: Bioavailability = 50% - 81% Peak Plasma levels = 3 hrs t ½ = 9-14 hrs = Long – especially in the elderly may be prolonged Metabolized: in the liver via CYP3A4 and CYP independent mechanisms Excretion: Dual mechanism – 25% kidneys / 75% = biliary/feces Monitoring: using a factor Xa inhibition assay or a dilute prothrombin time **Apixiban prolongs PTT and INR in a concentration-dependent fashion – however effect on these tests is minimal at therapeutic concentrations. - Followup drug to Razaxaban (halted due to high bleeding) = similar characteristics
  • #52 N (TOTAL) = 1238 Phase II Double Blind Randomized study of 1238 pts undergoing TKR. Apixaban 1/6 doses, open label warfarin, or enoxaparin 30 mg BID Followup at day 42 The composite of VTE and mortality were lower with all apixaban doses vs. enoxaparin and warfarin, although apixaban dose-dependency did not achieve significance P = 0.09) When looking at the overall riskk-benefit profile, apixaban 2.5mg twice daily or 5mg once daily appeared the most promising dose regimen for further phase three considerations.
  • #53 Bleeding Rates were significantly dose-dependent with the once (P= 0.01) and twice daily (P=0.02) apixaban regimens
  • #54 So when we have a superior ORAL drug with the the safety profile as a parenteral drug, then why not go for it !!!
  • #57 The main advantages over present strategies are highlighted in bold italics.
  • #59 REVOLUTION TRIAL PROGRAM = phase 3 program that will be enrolling over 27,000 patients worldwide and includes REMODEl, REMOBILIZE, and RENOVATE studies in primary VTE prevention in ortho patients REMOBILIZE: Dabigatran with enoxaparin dose 30mg BID started post-procedurally in pts undergoing TKA. The 150mg and 22mg daily dose did not meet the non-inferiority design compared with enoxaparin. OTHER STUDIES RESOLVE, RECOVER, REMEDY = VTE treatment and secondary thromboprophylaxis RELY - Dabigatran 110 mg = similar rates of stroke and systemic embolization and lower rates of major hemorrhage Dabigatran 150 mg = lower rates of stroke and systemic embolism but with similar rate of major hemorrhage **Rate of MI was higher with both doses of dabigatran than with warfarin** **Did not find liver toxicity with dabigatran in RE-LY pts**
  • #60 Dabigatran 110 mg = similar rates of stroke and systemic embolization and lower rates of major hemorrhage Dabigatran 150 mg = lower rates of stroke and systemic embolism but with similar rate of major hemorrhage **Rate of MI was higher with both doses of dabigatran than with warfarin**
  • #61 Rates of the primary outcome were 1.69% per year in the warfarin group, as compared with 1.53% per year in the group that received 110 mg of dabigatran (relative risk with dabigatran, 0.91; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.74 to 1.11; P&lt;0.001 for noninferiority) and 1.11% per year in the group that received 150 mg of dabigatran (relative risk, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.53 to 0.82; P&lt;0.001 for superiority). There was a definite advantage of the 150 mg group in terms of superiority over warfarin
  • #62 Warfarin was associated with less ICH vs fixed dose warfarin + ASA or dual antiplatelet treatment. Here in RELY, there is a significant reduction even beyond that. This is significant for clinical practice in that fear of ICH should now be a minimal concern when taken in balance with stroke prevention.

  • #75 The decision to test two doses of dabigatran in a large phase II trial was taken because the identification of the correct dose was considered critical to ensure the optimum balance of efficacy and safety. The 150 mg bid dose had been tested in the phase II PETRO study, whereas 110 mg bid had not been directly tested. The choice of this lower dose was based on interpolations of phase II data, considering the time course and the peak of the anticoagulant effect of dabigatran, and on the observation that a total daily dose of 220 mg was effective for the prevention of deep-vein thrombosis in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. The two-dose approach used in RE‑LY ® may also allow the opportunity to tailor dabigatran dosing to individual patient characteristics in order to maximize the benefit/risk ratio.
  • #77 Only dabigatran is presently approved for SPAF in the following countries: Canada, Colombia, Israel, Namibia, New Zealand, Philippines, USA,  Japan, Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, Korea, Malaysia.

  • #81 Antidote : SSR 126517 (Factor Xa Inhibitor) is the only new anticoagulant being studied that has an antidote. Neutralization of Direct Factor Xa Inhibitors: plasma derived or recombinant factor Xa modified to lack catalytic and membrane binding activities, can neutralize the effects of small molecular factor Xa and LMWH Dialysis is likely to clear the direct factor Xa or Thrombin inhibitors = all of which are small molecules
