Cost of the new OACs" Dabigatran" Rivaroxaban" Apixaban" Approximately $4/day Edoxaban???" Warfarin much cheaper, but factor in costs of monitoring." What about ODB
Cost of the new OACs" 1. Anticoagulation is inadequate following a reasonable trial on warfarin; OR 2. Anticoagulation with warfarin is contraindicated or not possible due to inability to regularly monitor via International Normalized Ratio (INR) testing. LU Code Dabigatran Rivaroxaban Apixaban 431 435 448
How do monitor new OACs?" Explain to your patients the importance of taking the medication as prescribed" - Q12h for Dabigatran and Apixaban" - Dabigatran not to be removed from packaging until consumed" - With large meal of day for Rivaroxaban" No specific requirement for monitoring" PTT will be elevated for all 4 drugs" PT will be elevated for Xa inhibitors" Neither test useful to assess anticoagulant effect"
What about bleeding?" All 4 new OACs, when compared to warfarin, have:" - Less major bleeding " - Less bleeding related deaths" - Less hemorrhagic stroke and intracranial hemorrhage" GI Bleeding increased with" - Dabigatran 150mg BID (not 110mg BID)" - Edoxaban 60mg OD (not 30mg OD)" Less bleeding of EVERY kind with:" - Apixaban" - Edoxaban 30mg OD"
When bleeding happens" Supportive management" Dialysis may be useful for drugs" that are not highly protein bound:" - Dabigatran" - Edoxaban" Prothrombin complex concentrates, PCC (eg: Octaplex) have been shown to be useful for most of the new OACs" Novel antibodies in development:" - First human study with fragmented antibody (Fab) to dabigtran shown to be safe, well tolerated, and effective in healthy volunteers"
When itʼs time for surgery" Several factors to consider:" - Risk of bleeding with surgery" - Risk of thrombosis when withholding OAC" - Renal function" Generally, do not give any OAC on day before or day of surgery, restart OAC on post-op day 1 or 2 depending on risk of bleeding" If high risk of bleeding or renal impairment, may need to hold OAC for 2 to 4 days" - If holding OAC for this duration, may need to consider bridging if risk of thrombosis is high"
We still need warfarin." Mechanical valves" AF secondary to rheumatic heart disease" Patient has intermittent compliance (more of a problem when drug has short half life)" Severe renal impairment" - ALL new OACs are contraindicated"
Which new OAC should I use?" Largest RRR of ischemic stroke: dabigatran 150 BID! Once daily dosing: rivaroxaban and edoxaban! Demonstrated safety in modest renal impairment: rivaroxaban, apixaban and edoxaban! Significant reductions in major bleeding with possible mortality benefit: apixaban and edoxaban! Severe renal insufficiency, mechanical prosthetic valves: warfarin! Least expensive: warfarin!
