Boehringer Ingelheim announced results from the RE-COVER II study evaluating dabigatran compared to warfarin in patients diagnosed with acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and/or pulmonary embolism (PE).

Appropriate patient selection and pharmacist-led monitoring were linked to greater adherence to dabigatran among patients with atrial fibrillation at Veterans Health Administration sites, according to a recent study published in JAMA.

The data represents ~3,000 patients who had received the study drug in Phase 3 of GLORIA-AF with up to 2 years follow-up.

Despite trend toward lower stroke risk with high dose

A subgroup analysis from the RE-LY trial has demonstrated that in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), twice-daily dabigatran etexilate has better efficacy and lower rates of major bleeding when compared with warfarin, as reported at ACC.11, the American College of Cardiology’s 60th Annual Scientific Session.

Combining dabigatran with certain statin medications could raise the odds for major hemorrhage in patients with atrial fibrillation, according to a study published online in CMAJ, the journal of the Canadian Medical Association.

The increased number of post-marketing reports of bleeding associated with use of dabigatran seems to be an example of stimulated reporting and may not represent an increased bleeding risk.

Dabigatran is associated with higher risks of major bleeding and gastrointestinal bleeding compared with warfarin, but patients taking dabigatran also have a reduced risk of intracranial bleeding compared with those taking warfarin, according to new research.

A new report highlights the potential risk in concomitant use of the anticoagulant dabigatran, and phenytoin, a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inducer used to treat seizure disorders.

The researchers found the risk of GI bleeding was lower for apixaban versus dabigatran or rivaroxaban.
