  1. The New Oral Anticoagulants:Bleeding, Periprocedureal Management, Laboratory Evaluation, and Use for VTE Prevention/Treatment Seth Scott MD

  2. Background • There are 2 approved new oral anticoagulants (NOACs): • Dabigatran, and Rivaroxaban • Will need to be ready to treat people who have bleeding complications • use of these medications is increasing in the community. • Will need to advise surgical specialists on how to stop and start medications in preparation for procedures. • Recently one of the new oral anticoagulants was approved for treatment for PE/DVT

  3. TREATMENT OF BLEEDING

  4. Review of Relevant Pharmacology Dabigatran Rivaroxaban Oral medication with less food/drug and drug/drug interactions than warfarin Factor Xa inhibitor. Mixed excretion with 1/3 in stool 2/3 in Urine t ½ 1. 8-9 hrs (younger patients) or 11-13 hrs (elders) Approved for stroke prevention in non-valvularafib for DVT prophylaxis in TKA and THA and DVT treatment Highly protein bound non- dialyzable • Oral medication with less food/drug and drug/drug interactions than warfarin • Direct thrombin inhibitor • Renally cleared • t ½ 12-17 hrs • Approved for stroke prevention in non valvularafib • Less protein bound with lower volume of distribution- dialyzable

  5. Pharmacologic Data on the Approved Novel Anticoagulants Kaatz, S et al

  6. Available literature on bleeding • Two recent summary articles on treatment of bleeding events associated with these medications • Guidance on the emergent reversal of oral thrombin and factor Xa inhibitors. Katz et. al THNSA meeting proceedings from American Journal of Hematology • Emergency Management of bleeding Associated with old and New Oral Anticoagulants. Peacock et. al from Clinical Cardiology • Most data in these articles come from laboratory measures of activity or animal studies • Most data appears to have been put out by the drug companies or their surrogates.

  7. Options to Reverse Anticoagulation in a Bleeding on Dabigatran • Holding medication is 1st choice • T ½ varies depends on renal function 13- 27 hr • lab improvement 4-6 hr • Less protein bound 2-3 hours of dialysis decreases activity 60% • Activated charcoal if taken within 2 hours of presentation. • For life threatening bleeding consider: • FFP (mouse model of ICH) • Recombinant factor VIIa (laboratory data) • Charcoal filtration (lab data) • 4 factor prothrombin complex concentrate (human volunteer study and rat model) but has associated thrombosis (not available in US. Current products are 3 factor complex concentrates) • Real risk of thrombosis with reversal agents having unknown benefit.

  8. Bleeding on Rivaroxaban • Holding medication is 1st line therapy • T ½ is 8.3-9.5 hours • HD and charcoal hemo-perfusion not an option due to protein binding • No studies supporting charcoal PO • For life threatening bleeding consider : • Prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) • 3 factor PCC only available no clear evidence for its use as 4 factor PCC is the studied • All evidence for this is based on lab studies in healthy volunteers • Real risk of thrombosis

  9. Current UNM protocols

  10. Current UNM Protocols

  11. Preoperative/postoperative management of patients on these medications And Lab Monitoring

  12. Available summary articles on Laboratory Monitoring • Van Ryn et Al Dabigatranetexilate- a novel reversible oral direct thrombin inhibitor: interpretation of coagulation assays and reversal of anticoagulant activity. • Douxfils, J et Al Assessment of the impact of rivaroxaban on coagulation assays: Laboratory recommendations for the monitoring of rivaroxaban and review of the literature

  13. Qualitiative testing for Dabigatran Levels ECT Not widely available PT/INR: Poor dose-response ratio TT: Multiple readings not able to be read at all aPTT

  14. More quantitative Lab testing for Dabigatran Dilutional Assay

  15. Currently Available Data For labs to monitor Rivaroxaban

  16. Laboratory Evaluation of Patients on Dabigatran and Rivaroxaban Dabigatran Rivaroxaban Usual coagulation stuides not as useful but PT may have some utility in determining if anticoagulation is ongoing. • Usual Coagulation studies not as useful including aPTT • Preferred study is TT (thrombin time) with dilution/calibration

  17. Suggestions for timing of surgery in patients on Dabigatran • High risk surgery: cardiac surgery, neurosurgery abdominal surgery or those involving a major organ • In these patients: Use normal TT (Thrombin Time) as an indication that dabigatran has been cleared. • Restart time: 24-72 hrs and when no longer bleeding

  18. Suggestions for timing of surgery for patients on Rivaroxaban

  19. Mounting evidence for use of NOACs Access to NOACs

  20. Current Pharmacy Recommendations for who may get these medications as inpatient • Rivaroxaban • For DVT prophylaxis in THR and TKR in patients who are suitable • Patients on Rivaroxaban for non-valvularafib as outpatients who remain suitable for treatment inpatient • Dabigatran • Patients on Dabigatran for non-valvularafib as an outpatient who remain suitable as an inpatient

  21. Outpatient recommendations • Can consider either Rivaroxaban/Dabigatran if any of the following apply: • Poor INR control on Warfarin despite good complaince • Significant barriers to monitoring due to transport or physical problems • Verified Warfarin Allergy • Non-hemorrohagic adverse events of Warfarin • Stroke on Warfarin • Must be clearly documented why NOAC is needed in the Chart • Must be approved by Molina Medical Director (SCI) or Director of Clinical Pharmacy (UNM care)

  22. The Question of Cost • Rivaroxaban (based on 30 day supply) inpatient • ~$6.59 per dose • Based on recommended course for hip replacement =$230 and $79 for a knee replacement • Cost less to outpatient pharmacy ($~160/30 tabs) • Out of pocket cost for 30 tab (Wallgreens): • 10 mg 294.99 • 15 mg 301.99 • 20mg 301.99 • Some Availability for patient assistance programs • Dabigatran cost to pharmacy • $5.76 per dose as an inpatient • $4.80 per dose as an outpatient • Out of pocket cost (Wallgreens): • 75 mg $138.99 • 150 mg 142.49 • Some availability for patient assistance programs • Enoxaparin for bridging costs $163.50 per day out of pocket at Wallgreens.

  23. Uses and DVT/PE treatment

  24. Multiple Studies on Efficacy and Safety

  25. Rivaroxaban Approved for DVT and PE

  26. Reason to consider using NOACs for DVT treatment or AFIB Patel et. Al Rivaroxaban versus warfarin in Non-ValvularAfib NEJM 9/8/2011 (ROCKET-AF) Similar data exists for Dabigatran

  27. Einstein Study for Acute DVT • The Einstein Investigators. Oral Rivaroxaban for symptomatic venous thrombo-embolism. NEJM 12/23/2010 • Open Label, randomized, event driven, non- inferiority study • Primary efficacy outcome = recurrent VTE. • Primary Safety Outcome- major bleeding/clinically relevant non-major bleeding.

  28. Rivaroxaban for DVT The Einstein Investigators. Oral Rivaroxaban for symptomatic venous thromboembolism. NEJM 12/23/2010.

  29. Population Characteristics

  30. Characteristics of treatment

  31. Efficacy Data

  32. Safety Data from EINSTEIN

  33. Conclusions • Treatment for bleeding on NOACs is mostly supportive. • Short T½ relative to warfarin • Minimal evidence for reversal agents • Can consider HD for dabigatran. • Power plan is available in power chart • Best easily available lab test for rivaroxaban activity is PT and/or aPTT • Best easily available lab test for Dabigatran is aPTT or TT • These agents can be used in house for DVT prophlyaxis in LE joint repairs • May want to consider use of NOACs for DVT/PE treatment in selected patients based on decreased incidence of the most morbid types of bleeding.
