Rivaroxaban Mohamed El Setiha, MD. Prof of Cardiology Tanta University
Antithrombotics That Have Changed Clinical Practice Anticoagulants Low-molecular-weight l heparin Antiplatelet Drugs Thienopyridines Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitors
But.. for oral anticoagulation, Vitamin K antagonists (warfarin) remain the only available option
The ideal oral anticoagulant Oral, preferably once daily Rapid onset and offset of action Low propensity for food and drug interactions Fixed doses Wide therapeutic window Easy to use with no need for monitoring i Have antidote
Rivaroxaban in VTE
Phase III RECORD programme in VTE prevention Oral rivaroxaban 10 mg od is being compared with subcutaneous enoxaparin in >11,000 patients worldwide Study RECORD1 THR Duration of rivaroxaban therapy Duration of enoxaparin therapy 5 weeks 5 weeks RECORD2 THR 5 weeks 10 1414 days, followed by placebo RECORD3 TKR 10 1414 days 10 1414 days RECORD4 TKR 10 1414 days 10 1414 days
Primary Efficacy endpoints Total venous thromboembolism (VTE): any deep vein thrombosis (DVT), non-fatal pulmonary embolism (PE), and all-cause mortality Secondary Major VTE: proximal DVT, non-fatal PE, and VTE-related death DVT: any, proximal, distal Symptomatic VTE All endpoints were adjudicated centrally by independent, blinded committees
Safety endpoints Main Major bleeding starting after the first blinded dose and 2 days after last dose Bleeding that was fatal, into a critical organ or required re-operation Extra-surgical-site site bleeding associated with a drop in hemoglobin 2 g/dl or requiring transfusion of 2 units blood Other Any bleeding on treatment* Non-major bleeding* Hemorrhagic wound complications* Cardiovascular adverse events Liver enzyme levels All endpoints were adjudicated centrally by independent, blinded committees *Up to 2 days after last dose of study medication

Rivaroxaban in AF
ROCKET AF ROCKET AF study (Rivaroxaban Once daily oral direct Factor Xa inhibition Compared with vitamin K antagonism for prevention of stroke and Embolism Trial in Atrial Fibrillation). The ROCKET AF study is assessing the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban (Xarelto ) 20 mg once-daily, a novel oral, direct Factor Xa inhibitor, compared to the current standard of care, warfarin, a vitamin K antagonist (VKA) dose-adjusted, for the prevention of stroke and non-cns systemic embolism in patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF).
