Apixaban, an oral, direct factor Xa inhibitor: single dose safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and food effect in healthy subjects

TLDR
To evaluate apixaban single dose safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics and assess the effect of food on Apixaban pharmacokinetically, a large number of animals were tested.
Abstract
Aims To evaluate apixaban single dose safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics and assess the effect of food on apixaban pharmacokinetics.

Safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of multiple oral doses of apixaban, a factor Xa inhibitor, in healthy subjects

TL;DR: Multiple oral doses of apixaban were safe and well tolerated over a 10-fold dose range, with pharmacokinetics with low variability and concentration-related increases in clotting time measures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of extremes of body weight on the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety and tolerability of apixaban in healthy subjects

TL;DR: The modest change inApixaban exposure is unlikely to require dose adjustment for apixaban based on body weight alone, however, caution is warranted in the presence of additional factors (such as severe renal impairment) that could increase apixaba exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of apixaban in subjects with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis.

TL;DR: In conclusion, ESRD resulted in a modest increase in apixaban AUC and no increase in Cmax, and hemodialysis had a limited impact on Apixaban clearance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of apixaban on routine and specific coagulation assays: a practical laboratory guide

TL;DR: PT and/or dilute PT cannot be used to assess apixaban pharmacodynamic properties and more specific and sensitive assays such as chromogenic FXa assays using specific calibrators are required.

Clinical laboratory measurement of direct factor Xa inhibitors: Anti-Xa assay is preferable to prothrombin time assay

TL;DR: The suitability of commercially available prothrombin time/international normalised ratio (PT/INR) and anti-FXa activity assays to measure FXa inhibitors in plasma was evaluated and suggested that anti-Xa activity was the better indicator of apixaban plasma concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Apixaban, an oral, direct and highly selective factor Xa inhibitor: in vitro, antithrombotic and antihemostatic studies.

TL;DR: In vivo, apixaban was effective in the prevention of experimental thrombosis at doses that preserve hemostasis in rabbits and potent and selective, with a Ki of 0.08 nm for human FXa.

Pharmacokinetic profile of the oral direct thrombin inhibitor dabigatran etexilate in healthy volunteers and patients undergoing total hip replacement.

TL;DR: Administration of the dabigatran etexilate capsule with food has no effect on the extent of dabig atran absorption, with a moderate decrease when coadministered with pantoprazole, and these pharmacokinetic characteristics confirm the suitability of this oral solid dosage form for use in future clinical trials.

New Antithrombotic Drugs: American College of Chest Physicians Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines (8th Edition)

TL;DR: This chapter outlines the rationale for development of new antithrombotic agents, describes the new antiplatelet, anticoagulant, and fibrinolytic drugs, and provides clinical perspectives on the opportunities and challenges faced by these novel agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of the oral, direct factor Xa inhibitor rivaroxaban on commonly used coagulation assays.

TL;DR: The APTT‐based assay for APC resistance is affected in a dose‐dependent manner whereas an assay based on the activation of coagulation at the prothrombinase level was unaffected.
