Li Z, Yang S, Hua Z, Lu Y, Li X. Population pharmacokinetics of rivaroxaban in Chinese deep vein thrombosis patients and the exposure simulation for dosing recommendation. NAUNYN-SCHMIEDEBERG'S ARCHIVES OF PHARMACOLOGY 2024; 397:3351-3362. [PMID: 37950768 DOI: 10.1007/s00210-023-02798-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/13/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model for rivaroxaban and establish a model-based dosing guideline tailored to Chinese patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT). A nonlinear mixed-effects modeling approach was employed using Phoenix NLME 7.0 software to construct the PPK model for rivaroxaban. The PK of rivaroxaban was adequately characterized through a one-compartment model. Monte Carlo simulations were employed to formulate dosing guidelines applicable to different patient subgroups. Data from 60 Chinese DVT patients yielded 217 rivaroxaban plasma concentrations for analysis. The apparent clearance (CL/F) of rivaroxaban was found to be significantly influenced by the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), identified as a major covariate. Based on Monte Carlo simulations, for the acute DVT treatment, a regimen of 15 mg, 10 mg, or 5 mg twice daily was associated with the highest total probability target attainment (PTAtotal) in patients with normal, mildly impaired, or moderately impaired renal function, respectively. For the continued DVT treatment, a regimen of 20 mg, 15 mg, or 5 mg once daily exhibited the maximum PTAtotal in patients with normal, mildly impaired, or moderately impaired renal function, respectively. The recommendation label dose achieved the PK target in those with normal renal function. However, for patients with mild or moderate renal impairment, dose adjustments below the label recommendation might be necessary. The PPK model associated CL/F with the covariate eGFR. Utilizing the PPK model, a dosage regimen table was constructed to offer tailored dosing recommendations for Chinese DVT patients.

Effect of PCC on Thrombin Generation among Patients on Factor Xa Inhibitors with Major Bleeding or Needing Urgent Surgery (GAUGE): Design and Rationale. TH OPEN 2023; 7:e229-e240. [PMID: 37497426 PMCID: PMC10368490 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1771300] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Direct factor Xa inhibitors (FXaIs) account for most oral anticoagulant use and FXaI-associated bleeding events are common. Clinicians have variable national and regional access to specific FXaI reversal agents such as andexanet alfa. Many centers have adopted the use of prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs) as hemostatic therapy for FXaI-associated major bleeding events. PCC does not impact circulating FXaI levels and its mechanism of action to achieve hemostasis in FXaI-associated bleeding is uncertain. While PCC increases quantitative thrombin generation assay (TGA) parameters, it does not correct FXaI-altered thrombin generation kinetics, nor does it normalize thrombin generation. Clinical data supporting the use of PCC are based on cohort studies reporting clinical hemostatic efficacy, which is difficult to measure. The benefits of PCC for FXaI-associated bleeding beyond supportive care are uncertain. Objective GAUGE is a prospective observational study designed to measure the effects of four-factor PCC administration (Octaplex) on TGA parameters among patients with FXaI-associated bleeding or needing urgent surgery. Methods Laboratory outcomes will include the mean paired change in TGA parameters from pre- to post-PCC administration and the proportion of participants whose post-PCC TGA values fall within a defined reference range. Clinical outcomes will include hemostatic efficacy, thromboembolic complications, and all-cause death at 30 days post-PCC. Conclusion Development of a viable and universally accessible FXaI bleed management strategy is crucial. GAUGE will provide in vivo data on the effects of PCC among patients with FXaI-associated bleeding.

Transferability of Published Population Pharmacokinetic Models for Apixaban and Rivaroxaban to Subjects with Obesity Treated for Venous Thromboembolism: A Systematic Review and External Evaluations. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15020665. [PMID: 36839986 PMCID: PMC9967935 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15020665] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2023] [Revised: 02/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Apixaban and rivaroxaban have first-line use for many patients needing anticoagulation for venous thromboembolism (VTE). The pharmacokinetics of these drugs in non-obese subjects have been extensively studied, and, while changes in pharmacokinetics have been documented in obese patients, data remain scarce for these anticoagulants. The aim of this study was to perform an external validation of published population pharmacokinetic (PPK) models of apixaban and rivaroxaban in a cohort of obese patients with VTE. A literature search was conducted in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Embase databases following the PRISMA statement. External validation was performed using MonolixSuite software, using prediction-based and simulation-based diagnostics. An external validation dataset from the university hospitals of Brest and Rennes, France, included 116 apixaban pharmacokinetic samples from 69 patients and 121 rivaroxaban samples from 81 patients. Five PPK models of apixaban and 16 models of rivaroxaban were included, according to the inclusion criteria of the study. Two of the apixaban PPK models presented acceptable performances, whereas no rivaroxaban PPK model did. This study identified two published models of apixaban applicable to apixaban in obese patients with VTE. However, none of the rivaroxaban models evaluated were applicable. Dedicated studies appear necessary to elucidate rivaroxaban pharmacokinetics in this population.

Is a Lower Dose of Rivaroxaban Required for Asians? A Systematic Review of a Population Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics Analysis of Rivaroxaban. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15020588. [PMID: 36839909 PMCID: PMC9964148 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15020588] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2022] [Revised: 01/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Rivaroxaban has been widely used to prevent and treat various thromboembolic diseases for more than a decade. However, whether a lower dose of rivaroxaban is required for Asians is still debatable. This review aimed to explore the potential ethnic difference in pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) characteristics between Asians and Caucasians. A systematic search was conducted and twenty-four studies were identified, of which 10 were conducted on Asian adults, 11 on predominantly Caucasian adults, and 3 on Caucasian pediatrics. The apparent clearance (CL/F) of rivaroxaban in Caucasian adults with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (6.45-7.64 L/h) was about 31-43% higher than that in Asians (4.46-5.98 L/h) taking 10~20 mg rivaroxaban every 24 h. Moreover, there was no obvious difference in CL/F among Japanese, Chinese, Thai, and Irani people. Regarding PK/PD relationship, prothrombin time was linked to rivaroxaban concentration in a linear or near-linear manner, and Factor Xa activity was linked with the Emax model. The exposure-response relationship was comparable between Asians and Caucasians. Renal function has a significant influence on CL/F, and no covariate was recognized for exposure-response relationship. In conclusion, a lower dose of rivaroxaban might be required for Asians, and further studies are warranted to verify this ethnic difference to facilitate optimal dosing regimens.

J Vasc Surg Venous Lymphat Disord 2022; 11:488-497.e4. [PMID: 36592692 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvsv.2022.12.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2022] [Revised: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/18/2022] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Postablation deep vein thrombosis (DVT) represents a potentially serious complication after Varithena polidocanol endovenous microfoam (PEM) ablation. The following primary outcomes were assessed: whether (1) adjunctive apixaban anticoagulation or (2) mechanical deep venous system (DVS) saline flushing could decrease saphenofemoral junction (SFJ) thrombus extension (postablation superficial thrombus extension [PASTE]) and/or DVT compared with compression alone, after great saphenous vein (GSV) PEM ablation. METHODS Varithena 1% PEM ablation patients were randomized to (1) SFJ compression, (2) compression and DVS saline flushing, or (3) compression, DVS saline flushing, and 5 days of postprocedural 5 mg oral apixaban anticoagulation twice daily. Duplex imaging was obtained 7 to 10 days after PEM ablation and PASTE/DVT incidence (primary end point) was compared between groups at this time point. RESULTS We treated 304 limbs in 257 patients with PEM. Overall, 103 limbs received SFJ compression (group C, 33.8%), 101 received compression and deep venous flushing (group D, 32.9%), and 100 received compression, deep flush, and anticoagulation (group A, 33.2%). Mean ultrasound follow-up time was 9.7 days (all patients) with a primary GSV closure rate of 92.4%. SFJ PASTE (II-IV) occurred in 0.9%, 1.0%, and 0% (groups C, D, and A, respectively). DVT occurred in 16.7%, 14.7%, and 1.98% (groups C, D, and A; χ2, P = .002). Patients in group A receiving apixaban anticoagulation had a significant reduction in DVT compared with patients in group C (1.98% vs 16.7%, χ2; P < .001); likewise, patients in group A had a significantly decreased DVT occurrence compared with group D (14.7% vs 1.98%; χ2, P = .00162), whereas patients in groups C and D were not statistically different (16.7% vs 14.7%; χ2, P = .60). CONCLUSIONS (1) Neither adjunctive DVS flushing nor anticoagulation decreased clinically relevant SFJ PASTE (II-IV) incidence, which remained similarly low across all groups and ranged between 0% and 1%, regardless of adjunctive DVS flushing or anticoagulation. This rate was significantly lower than prior reports (2.3%-4.1%). (2) DVS flushing had no influence on the rate of DVT. Observed PEM-induced DVT incidence using SFJ compression alone or compression with DVS flushing (16.7% and 14.7%, respectively) was significantly higher than prior reports (2.5%-9.6%). This finding may relate to the greater extent of AK/BK GSV territory treated in the present study. (3) Five days of postprocedural oral apixaban anticoagulation, 5 mg given twice daily, significantly decreased DVT occurrence to 1.98%, compared with nonanticoagulated patients (16.7%). This finding is comparable with the DVT rates reported after endovenous thermal ablation (0.7-1.7%). (4) Postprocedural apixaban anticoagulation may have a significant preventive role in decreasing DVT occurrence after PEM ablation.

Edoxaban Monotherapy in Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation Patients with Coronary Artery Disease. J Interv Cardiol 2022; 2022:5905022. [PMID: 36619818 PMCID: PMC9789898 DOI: 10.1155/2022/5905022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2022] [Revised: 10/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Current guidelines recommend an oral anticoagulant (OAC) monotherapy in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and stable coronary artery disease (CAD) 1 year postpercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It might be possible to shorten the time for de-escalation from a dual therapy to monotherapy, but data regarding de-escalation to an edoxaban monotherapy are lacking. This study aimed to assess the clinical safety of an edoxaban monotherapy in patients with NVAF and stable CAD. Methods A multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label, and parallel group study was established to investigate the safety of an edoxaban monotherapy in patients with NVAF and stable CAD including over 6 months postimplantation of a third-generation DES and 1 year postimplantation of other stents (PRAEDO AF study). Between March 2018 and June 2020, 147 patients from 8 institutions in Japan were randomized to receive either an edoxaban monotherapy (n = 74) or combination therapy (edoxaban plus clopidogrel, n = 73). The primary study endpoint was the composite incidence of major bleeding and clinically significant bleeding, defined according to the ISTH criteria. Results Major or clinically significant bleeding occurred in 2 patients in the monotherapy group (1.67% per patient-year) and in 5 patients in the combination therapy group (4.28% per patient-year) (hazard ratio, 0.39; 95% confidence interval, 0.08-2.02). There was no incidence of a myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, unstable angina requiring revascularization, ischemic stroke, systemic stroke, or hemorrhagic stroke in either of the groups. Conclusions The edoxaban monotherapy was shown to have acceptable clinical safety in patients with NVAF and stable CAD. The study was registered with the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCTs031180119).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rivaroxaban is one of the most commonly used non-vitamin K antagonists for stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Different individual exposures exist for Asian and non-Asian populations, and dose selection is different for Japanese and non-Japanese subjects. Few studies have investigated the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of rivaroxaban in Chinese patients and provided a solid reference for dose selection and individualised therapy. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is a single-centre prospective study. Rivaroxaban-treated Chinese NVAF patients will be recruited according to predetermined inclusion criteria. Blood samples will be collected from both outpatients and inpatients with different sampling strategies at steady state. Rivaroxaban plasma concentration, factor Xa activity, prothrombin time and single-nucleotide polymorphisms of candidate genes will be evaluated. Follow-up will be conducted following 3 and 6 months after enrolment to collect information about the safety and efficacy outcomes. A nonlinear mixed-effects modelling strategy will be used to develop a population PK-PD model of rivaroxaban. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of Huashan Hospital, Fudan University (KY2020-016). The study findings will be submitted to peer-reviewed journals and shared with public health authorities. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR2100046685.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Management of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) has been completely changed after the introduction of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC). VTE is common in the geriatric population, but the management of DOACs remains complex because of the lack of specific data in this polymedicated fragile population.An exhaustive search of anticoagulants in the indication of VTE was performed on PubMed, including data from clinical trials, observational studies, real-world data, drug-drug interaction studies, as well as various guidelines from scientific societies. AREAS COVERED The present review aims to summarize our current knowledge on the era of DOACs in the management of VTE in the elderly. This involves learning the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of drugs specific to geriatrics, the problem of drug-drug interactions, and the main randomized clinical trials validating the use of DOACs. EXPERT OPINION DOACs have become an essential part of the management of VTE in the elderly, both for their efficacy and safety. However, we are faced with a list of unmet needs, such as the relevance of DOACs in the very elderly, cancer patients, and those with renal impairment. Clinicians and pharmacists must remain cautious about comedications, as well as about the patient's comorbidities.

Biopharm Drug Dispos 2021; 43:3-10.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetic profiling of active compounds is necessary for drug development and application. Approaches to a pharmacokinetic study based on biological markers are alternatives to traditional approaches based on chromatographic methods. The aim of the study was to compare two analytical approaches to pharmacokinetics investigation for an example of sitagliptin in rabbits after one dose oral administration. The method for sitagliptin quantification in rabbit plasma samples based on a correlation between its concentration and dipeptidyl peptidase IV activity was proposed, validated, and applied. The high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-ultraviolet (UV) method was also validated and applied for the same sample analysis. The plasma pharmacokinetics of sitagliptin after oral administration to the rabbits in one dose was characterized after two analytical assays. The close values of the main pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained after two approaches. The nontraditional approach based on correlation of special marker activity and active substance concentration appears to be more sensitive than HPLC-UV. Thus, the sitagliptin concentrations determined by biomarker assay were higher than the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) for a longer period (more timepoints) than after the HPLC-UV assay. This feature may influence the values of some calculated concentration-dependent (area under the curve [AUC]0-t , etc.) and time-dependent parameters (mean residence time [MRT], T1/2 , etc.). The values of Tmax obtained by the two approaches were similar and adequate for oral drug administration that confirms the correctness of biomarker selection for pharmacokinetics assessment. The obtained results on the example of sitagliptin confirms that the biomarker approach is adequate and applicable for a pharmacokinetics study. Similar approaches may be effective for individual compounds and complex mixtures when it is difficult or impossible to analyze them traditionally by chromatographic methods.

Abstract
Measurement of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) activity is not routinely necessary. Indeed, evaluation of DOACs plasmatic concentration is discouraged for the majority of patients, due to the lack of outcome data supporting this approach. Nevertheless, DOAC measurements may be useful in emergency situations such as serious bleeding events, need for urgent invasive procedures, and acute ischemic stroke or in managing anticoagulation in "special populations" not adequately studied in clinical trials, for example the very elderly or those at the extremes of body weight. The aim of this review is to describe and summarize the methods for DOACs activity evaluation and the settings in which their plasma level measurement may be indicated, analyzing indications from scientific societies and evidence from clinical trials, as well as real world data on the usefulness of DOACs plasma levels "monitoring."

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recommended rivaroxaban doses for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (SPAF) are 20 and 15 mg/day in patients with normal and reduced renal function, respectively, but lower doses (15 and 10 mg) have been tested and approved in Japan. It is not known whether 15 and 10 mg rivaroxaban are appropriate in other Asian populations. This study compared the anti-Factor Xa (FXa) activity of 20 and 15 mg rivaroxaban in Thai patients with normal renal function and 15 and 10 mg rivaroxaban in patients with reduced renal function.Methods and Results:Sixty non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients receiving rivaroxaban (mean [±SD] age 69.3±9.1 years, mean creatinine clearance 59.2±22.7 mL/min) were enrolled. The anti-FXa activity of standard rivaroxaban and Japan-specific doses was measured at peak and trough concentrations. Median anti-FXa activity at peak concentrations was significantly higher for the standard than Japan-specific dose. Median anti-FXa activity measured at the trough was significantly higher for the standard dose only in those with impaired renal function. A higher proportion of patients receiving the Japan-specific rather than standard dose had anti-FXa activity at peak concentrations within the expected range (87.7% vs. 64.4%; P=0.001). One-third of those receiving the standard dose had anti-FXa activity higher than the expected range. CONCLUSIONS A significantly higher proportion of Thai patients receiving the Japan-specific dose of rivaroxaban had anti-FXa activity at peak concentrations within the expected range.
