LESSONS FROM AF TRIALS WITH
NEW ORAL AGENTS
• Main result: New agents at least as effective
as warfarin, can be given without routine
monitoring
• Other/unexpected findings:
– Reduction in intracranial bleeding
– Higher MI rates (dabigatran)
– Higher rates of GI bleeding (active drug in lower
intestine)
– Extracranial bleeding risk higher in older patients
Relative efficacy and safety of apixaban vs warfarin,
according to adequacy of individual INR control
The benefit of switching
from warfarin to a NOAC
appears to be greatest in
patients with relatively
poor INR control
Favors apixaban
Favors warfarin

patients with mechanical valves?

NOACs for treatment of VTE
• Efficacy comparable to warfarin
• Modest safety advantage
• Practical advantages
– No monitoring
– No injections
– No transitioning – single agent treatment
– Shorter hospital stay

Arch Intern Med 2012; 172:1537
Monitoring
Effects of NOACs on routine coag tests
• PT/INR and PTT are relatively insensitive to
the effects of these drugs
– Reagent-dependent – results will vary among labs
• Normal PT and PTT do not rule out
significant blood level of NOAC
• If PT or PTT elevated → assume significant
blood levels of NOAC
• Thrombin time very sensitive to dabigatran
effect – normal TT implies no drug on board
– Rivaroxaban & apixaban do not affect TT
Measuring blood levels of NOACs
• Dabigatran:
– Modified thrombin time assay (Hemoclot®)
• Rivaroxaban and apixaban:
– Anti-Xa activity (similar to LMWH assay)
• Neither assay FDA-approved or widely available now
• When to consider measuring drug level:
– Detect/quantify overdose
– Screen for drug accumulation (eg, impaired renal or liver
function)
– Assure low drug level prior to surgery
 Limited usefulness for assessing compliance due to
short drug half-lives
REVERSAL?
• No specific antidote for any of the new OACs
– New agents in development may solve this problem
• Activated charcoal will reduce drug absorption if
administered within a few hours of ingestion
• Rivaroxaban & apixaban effect may be reversed by
giving prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC)
(limited data)
• Dabigatran is dialyzable
– 60% removed/3 hours, with rebound effect
• Case reports suggest that recombinant factor VIIa
(NovoSeven™) is ineffective vs dabigatran (Thromb
Haemost 2012;108:585)
Risk-benefit profile of NOACs vs warfarin remains favorable
in patients with moderate renal insufficiency (GFR < 50)

Transitioning
Transitioning to NOACs
• Unfractionated heparin to NOAC:
– Start NOAC when UFH infusion stopped
• LMWH to NOAC:
– Start NOAC 2 h before next scheduled sq dose of
LMWH
• Warfarin to NOAC:
– When INR < 2.0
Transitioning from NOACs
• NOAC to parenteral anticoagulant:
– CrCl >30: start 12 hours after last NOAC dose
– CrCl <30: start 24 hours after last NOAC dose
• NOAC to warfarin:
– CrCl >50: start warfarin 3 days before NOAC stopped
– CrCl 31-50: start warfarin 2 days before NOAC
stopped
– CrCl 15-30: start warfarin 1 day before NOAC stopped
 Remember that NOACs can prolong PT/INR
When to stop drug before surgery
• Stop NOAC at least 3 drug half-lives prior to
surgery
– Dabigatran: 42-51 h
– Rivaroxaban: 15-27 h
– Apixaban: 24-48 h
• Allow more time if:
– Age > 75
– Impaired renal or liver function
– High bleeding risk
Who are the best candidates for new oral
anticoagulants?
• Patients who have unstable INR on warfarin
not due to poor compliance
• Reasonably good renal & hepatic function
• No mechanical valve
• Not pregnant (drugs cross placenta)
• < 75 years old
• No history of lower GI bleeding
• Not at high risk for ACS (dabigatran)
