In 2017, a Work Group was assembled to conduct a systematic review of 3HP regimen studies published between January 2006 to June 2017, specifically looking at outcomes in children, individuals with HIV/AIDS, and those who self-administered treatment.
The FDA analysis evaluated the safety of Xarelto in people with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation who initiated Xarelto or warfarin from November 2011 to April 2015.
The greatest risk reduction of stroke or systemic embolism was seen with dabigatran 150mg twice daily (odds ratio [OR] 0.65, 95% CI: 0.52-0.81), followed by apixaban 5mg twice daily (OR 0.79, 95% CI: 0.66-0.94).
End-stage renal disease patients on dialysis with atrial fibrillation are at high risk for thrombotic complications.
The primary safety endpoint was defined as time to major bleeding events and clinically relevant non-major bleeding events when compared to triple therapy with warfarin.
Patients taking apixaban showed significantly less intracranial hemorrhage (0.33% per year) vs. patients taking warfarin (0.80% per year) no matter the type and location.
Study patients were randomized to Pradaxa 150mg twice daily or warfarin (target INR 2-3) and remained on this treatment for the trial duration.
Jan Steffel, from the TIMI Study Group, Boston, MA, and colleagues presented on the safety of edoxaban in the context of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation.
Findings from a study published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology showed that apixaban appeared to be an appropriate alternative to warfarin for patients with severe renal impairment.
