NOACs offer equivalent or improved therapeutic profiles compared
NOACs offer equivalent or improved therapeutic profiles compared to warfarin, ideally with less bleeding risk, no interactions with food, and no FDA requirements for routine laboratory monitoring It is estimated that the cost of NOACs may exceed 60 times the cost of warfarin Arch Pathol Lab Med. 2015;139:687–692 Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) Direct factor Xa inhibitors (apixaban and rivaroxaban) and direct thrombin inhibitors (dabigatran) are approved for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation and prophylaxis and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in the US and Europe, though dabigatran is not yet approved for VTE prophylaxis in the US More recently, another direct factor Xa inhibitor, edoxaban, was approved for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation and VTE treatment and prevention of VTE recurrence in the US and Europe Compared to warfarin, NOACs have decreased bleeding risk with non-inferior efficacy in patients with atrial fibrillation A meta-analysis of 12 randomized controlled trials involving 102,607 patients demonstrated the superior safety of NOACs compared to warfarin for the treatment of VTE or atrial fibrillation Vascular Health and Risk Management 2016:12 35–44 Arch Pathol Lab Med. 2015;139:687–692 Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) Unlike warfarin, which may be reversed with fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and vitamin K, there are no approved reversal agents for (all) NOACs. Despite the relative safety of NOACs with respect to hemorrhagic complications, these complications do occur, and up until idarucizumab’s recent US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, there existed an unmet need for dedicated reversal agents. Vascular Health and Risk Management 2016:12 35–44 Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) There are 3 areas of uncertainty with respect to management of NOACs: perioperative management • challenging (lack of data from large randomized studies) • The timing of cessation of NOAC prior to surgery depends on the half-life of the agent, procedure-specific bleeding risks, and renal function of the patient. In general, Factor Xa inhibitors must be stopped at least 24–48 hrs prior to surgery with moderate bleeding risk and 48–72 hrs prior to surgery with high bleeding risk. Dabigatran may be stopped >72 hrs prior to surgeries with moderate bleeding risk. Patients with impaired renal function should have NOACs stopped earlier. For moderate risk surgeries, NOACs may be restarted 24 hrs after the procedure if hemostasis is achieved. For higher risk surgeries, a 48-hrs period may be more appropriate. Unlike warfarin, the time to effective anticoagulation is within hours of first administration for all NOACs Vascular Health and Risk Management 2016:12 35–44 Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) There are 3 areas of uncertainty with respect to management of NOACs: laboratory monitoring of anticoagulation • Routine coagulation studies (including INR and aPTT) may not accurately reflect the level of anticoagulation among patients receiving NOACs and are not recommended For dabigatran Specialized assays [including thrombin time (TT), dilute thrombin time (dTT), and ecarin-clotting time (ECT)] are currently used in research studies – dTT and ECT assays are not commercially available at most institutions. For apixaban and rivaroxaban The anti-factor Xa chromogenic assay yields results consistent with dose–response, but results may not be available in a timely fashion Vascular Health and Risk Management 2016:12 35–44 While the lack of routine monitoring is convenient and may help to mitigate some of the costs associated with NOACs, it may be informative to measure NOAC levels in • patients presenting with relatively high or low body weight, • renal insufficiency (dabigatran), • patients taking other medications that alter P-glycoprotein and cytochrome P3A4 metabolism • patient populations that were not included in NOAC clinical trials In addition, the lack of a well-characterized NOAC laboratory assay may complicate the management of cases of NOAC overdose, NOAC-associated life-threatening bleeding, or the scheduling of urgent surgery in patients taking NOACs Arch Pathol Lab Med. 2015;139:687–692 Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) There are 3 areas of uncertainty with respect to management of NOACs: management of bleeding The Chinese character for blood is 血 (xuè). It is also informally pronounced as 血 (xiě) or 血 (xuě). At the base is the character 皿 (mǐn), which means a utensil, a dish or a container. And, as you can see, there is a drop of blood that is dripping into this container. Vascular Health and Risk Management 2016:12 35–44 Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) There are 3 areas of uncertainty with respect to management of NOACs: management of bleeding • guidelines for NOACs are currently unavailable • Supportive care (mechanical compression, i.v. hydration, packed red blood cells, platelet transf.), withdrawal of the offending agent, use of specific and non-specific hemostatic therapies Hemostatic therapies can be categorized as follows: •Reduce absorption (charcoal within 1-2 h) or remove from circulation (hemodialysis for dabigatran-associated bleed.) •Antifibrinolytic agents – a. tranexamic and a. aminocaproic •Therapy with plasma factors: prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs), fresh frozen plasma (FFP), and cryoprecipitate •Specific antidotes: idarucizumab, andexanet alfa and ciraparantag Vascular Health and Risk Management 2016:12 35–44 Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) There are 3 areas of uncertainty with respect to management of NOACs: management of bleeding • guidelines for NOACs are currently unavailable • Supportive care (mechanical compression, i.v. hydration, packed red blood cells, platelet transf.), withdrawal of the In certain clinical situations, hemodialysis is offending agent, may usebeofconsidered, specific as anddabigatran non-specific only 35% bound to plasma proteins and, according to the manufacturer, hemostatic therapies hemodialysis may remove 49% to 57% of dabigatran within 4 hours Hemostatic therapies can be categorized as follows: Arch Pathol Lab Med. 2015;139:687–692 •Reduce absorption (charcoal within 1-2 h) or remove from circulation (hemodialysis for dabigatran-associated bleed.) •Antifibrinolytic a. plasma tranexamic and a. aminocaproic Rivaroxaban and apixaban are highlyagents bound–to proteins and therefore, unlike dabigatran, there is no role hemodialysis management of •Therapy with forplasma factors:in the prothrombin complex bleeding associated with their use concentrates (PCCs), fresh frozen plasma (FFP), and cryoprecipitate Arch Pathol Lab Med. 2015;139:687–692 •Specific antidotes: idarucizumab, andexanet alfa and ciraparantag Vascular Health and Risk Management 2016:12 35–44 Arch Pathol Lab Med. 2015;139:687–692 Antidotes currently in development for NOAC reversal Idarucizumab (BI655075-Dabi-Fab) Antidotes currently in development for NOAC reversal Idarucizumab (BI655075-Dabi-Fab) Idarucizumab is 100 times larger than dabigatran and the Vd of the former or idarucizumab-dabigatran complex is significantly lower than dabigatran alone. Humanized monoclonal antibody fragment (FAB, molecular weight is 47.8 kDa) that tightly binds and irreversibly inhibits dabigatran in a 1:1 ratio The affinity of idarucizumab to dabigatran is 350 times the affinity of dabigatran to thrombin - immediate and complete reversal of dabigatran’s anticoagulant activity ments. The drug did not interact with other thrombin substrates. The half-life is 45 min in healthy volunteers and elimination occurs primarily by a renal route. Current Opinion in Pharmacology 2016, 27:86–91 Antidotes currently in development for NOAC reversal Idarucizumab (BI655075-Dabi-Fab) Idarucizumab (Praxbind, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Ridgefield, Connecticut, United States) was approved for human use by FDA on October 16, 2015 for emergency reversal of dabigatran anticoagulant. Praxbind is supplied in vials, each containing 2.5g/50mL of idarucizumab Note: Idarucizumab vials contain sorbitol, and there is a potential risk of adverse events, including hypoglycemia, vomiting and metabolic acidosis, in patients with hereditary fructose intolerance Current Opinion in Pharmacology 2016, 27:86–91 Antidotes currently in development for NOAC reversal Idarucizumab (BI655075-Dabi-Fab) Vascular Health and Risk Management 2016:12 35–44 Antidotes currently in development for NOAC reversal Andexanet alfa (r-antidote-PRT064445) Recombinant modified factor X molecule (factor X decoy) that possesses a specific binding site for factor X/Xa inhibitors. It lacks the membrane binding γ-carboxylglutamate (Gla) domains and catalytic site, and therefore does not exert a procoagulant effect. Note: The Gla domain enables factor X/Xa to bind phospholipid (i.e. cell surfaces) in a calcium dependent manner; a requirement for assembly of the prothrombinase complex. Factor Xa from which the Gla domain has been removed (as by limited chymotryptic digestion) does not bind to phospholipid-factor Va and is virtually inactive Current Opinion in Pharmacology 2016, 27:86–91 Unlike in the coagulation cascade with factor X (to obtain factor Xa), andexanet alfa did not require any activation steps by factors VIIa (from the extrinsic pathway) or IXa (from the intrinsic pathway) AMSRJ 2014; 1(1):16—28 Antidotes currently in development for NOAC reversal Andexanet alfa (r-antidote-PRT064445) Recombinant modified factor X molecule (factor X decoy) that possesses a specific binding site for factor X/Xa inhibitors. It lacks the membrane binding γ-carboxylglutamate domains and catalytic site, and therefore does not exert a procoagulant effect. The drug can reverse the anticoagulant activity of direct factor Xa inhibitors in a dose-dependent manner. Andexanet alfa also retains its ability to bind antithrombin III and can reverse antithrombin III-mediated indirect factor Xa inhibitors, including low molecular weight heparins and fondaparinux Current Opinion in Pharmacology 2016, 27:86–91 AMSRJ 2014; 1(1):16—28 Antidotes currently in development for NOAC reversal Andexanet alfa (r-antidote-PRT064445) Recombinant modified factor X molecule (factor X decoy) that possesses a specific binding site for factor X/Xa inhibitors.

The drug can reverse the anticoagulant activity of direct factor Xa inhibitors in a dose-dependent manner. Andexanet alfa also retains its ability to bind antithrombin III and can reverse antithrombin III-mediated indirect factor Xa inhibitors, including low molecular weight heparins and fondaparinux Andexanet alfa (Portola Pharmaceuticals, San Francisco, CA, USA) was submitted for break through designation in November 2013 and also as an orphan drug therapy in February 2015. It is not currently approved for human use (Trials of factor Xa inhibitor reversal with andexanet alfa among patients with severe bleeding are currently enrolling patients (NCT02329327)). Current Opinion in Pharmacology 2016, 27:86–91 Antidotes currently in development for NOAC reversal Andexanet alfa (r-antidote-PRT064445) Vascular Health and Risk Management 2016:12 35–44 Antidotes currently in development for NOAC reversal Ciraparantag (PER977, Perosphere, Aripazine) Small synthetic and cationic molecule that binds direct Xa inhibitors, direct thrombin inhibitors, and heparin (UFH and LMWH) through noncovalent hydrogen bonds and charge–charge interactions In a preliminary study involving 80 healthy patients, PER977 (100–300 mg IV) was administered to subjects 3 hours after receiving edoxaban (60 mg oral). PER977 restored baseline hemostasis within 10–30 minutes and effects were sustained for 24 hours. Phase II trials investigating reversal of edoxaban with escalating doses of PER977 are underway. Plans for Phase III trials with edoxaban have also been announced.

Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) Dabigatran is predominantly eliminated by the renal route - 80% of active substance (dabigatran), and fecal elimination of the remaining substance as acylglucoronide (it also displays anticoagulant action). Renal function is the only parameter with relevant influence on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of dabigatran. Impaired liver function increased bleeding risk not by impaired elimination of dabigatran, but by the lower level of procoagulant proenzymes synthesized by the liver, resulting in a different balance between the endogenous procoagulant activity, and the anticoagulant activity of dabigatran, resulting in a “relative overdose” of dabigatran P-glycoprotein (P-GP) inhibitors (including amiodaron, verapamil, quinidine) result in increased plasma concentrations of dabigatran, whereas and P-GP inducers (such as rifampicine, St. John’s wort, phenytoin, carbamazepine) reduce the plasma concentration of dabigatran Semin Hematol. 2014 Apr;51(2):89-97. Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) Protein binding ~92-95% Simultaneous treatment with CYP3A4 or P-glycoprotein inhibitors leads to elevated plasma concentrations of rivaroxaban. Simultaneous treatment with ketoconazole and ritornavir is contraindicated. Inducers of CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein, such as rifampicin, as well as St. John’s wort, lead to a reduction of rivaroxaban plasma levels Impaired renal and/or liver function result in an enhanced effect of rivaroxaban, with prolonged halflife and increased AUC Liver disease is often associated with decreased hepatic synthesis of coagulation factors, which may lead to increased bleeding risk, as the total capacity for generation of factor Xa and thrombin is reduced. Semin Hematol. 2014 Apr;51(2):89-97. Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) Protein binding ~92-95% The rather low dependency upon renal elimination may be advantageous in patients with impaired renal function Protein binding ~87% Similar to rivaroxaban, treatment with CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein inhibitors results in elevated plasma levels of apixaban and increased anticoagulant activity. Inducers of CYP 3A4 or Pglycoprotein tend to reduce plasma levels of apixaban Semin Hematol. 2014 Apr;51(2):89-97. Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) Approved by EMA (June 2015): • to prevent stroke and systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation Protein binding ~92-95% • to treat deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism, and to prevent DVT and pulmonary embolism from re-occurring A 50% dose reduction is suggested in patients receiving concomitant strong P-glycoprotein inhibitors Protein binding ~87% Protein binding ~20-59% Semin Hematol. 2014 Apr;51(2):89-97.

Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) Current Opinion in Pharmacology 2016, 27:86–91 Curr Opin Pharmacol. 2016 Apr;27:86-91. Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) NOTE As NOACs do not share the relevant properties with heparins, problems with anti-heparin–platelet factor 4 (PF4) antibodies are not to be expected. In vitro experiments showed no interaction of dabigatran or rivaroxaban with anti-heparin–PF4 antibodies. Consequently, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, or other similar drugs can also be used in patients with earlier heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), although treatment of patients with acute newly diagnosed HIT-2 is currently discouraged due to the lack of support from clinical trials or other high-quality data, or dose recommendations for this indication. As acute HIT-2 is a condition with strongly activated coagulation system, associated with generation of high concentrations of factor Xa and thrombin, the standard dose of DOACs might be insufficient. Similar to acute deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, a higher dose might be necessary Semin Hematol. 2014 Apr;51(2):89-97. Anticoagulanti orali Impieghi terapeutici Il dabigatran, il rivaroxaban e l’apixaban sono già in commercio dal 2008 per la prevenzione delle complicazioni tromboemboliche in pazienti sottoposti a chirurgia ortopedica maggiore. Hanno dimostrato pari efficacia e sicurezza nei confronti delle eparine a basso peso molecolare in studi di non-inferiorità con il vantaggio della somministrazione orale al posto di quella parenterale. A partire dal 2011, queste nuove molecole hanno ricevuto l’indicazione anche nella prevenzione dell’ictus in pazienti con fibrillazione atriale non valvolare. Hanno dimostrato non inferiorità/equivalenza in termini di efficacia, minor rischio di emorragie intracraniche ma maggiore tendenza a sanguinamenti GI e con il dabigatran si è osservato un maggior rischio di infarto. L’apixaban ha evidenziato di avere minori rischi complessivi di sanguinamenti Nota: L’arrivo degli antidoti dei nuovi anticoagulanti probabilmente determinerà un incremento delle prescrizioni di questi nuovi farmaci (nel 2014 il warfarin è stato il più prescritto a livello mondiale con vendite globali pari a 600 milioni di dollari, contro i 6,1 miliardi di dollari complessivi delle nuove molecole).

The presence of an active drug in the systemic circulation throughout 24 h provides what can be referred to as a systemic potential. This systemic potential means that ticagrelor apart from platelet P2Y receptors should be able to reach additional targets One can therefore argue that the Clopidogrel and Prasugrel have limited or no systemic exposure, and one may hypothesize that the platelet inhibition by these drugs mainly takes place in the hepatic circulation where the active metabolites are formed and therefore likely present at higher concentrations. Because of their irreversible mode of action, however, they can overcome the shorter duration of action of their active metabolite so that they still can provide platelet inhibition over 24 h In A, ticagrelor (dotted red line), ARC124910XX (dashed red line) and the sum of ticagrelor and AR-C124910XX (solid red line).

British Journal of Pharmacology (2016) 173 1163–1178 Additional benefits seen with ticagrelor may be due to the unique inhibition of nonplatelet P2Y12 receptors such as those in vascular smooth muscle (stimulate vasoconstriction). Systemically active drugs, such as ticagrelor, are able to penetrate the vascular wall, prevent vasospasm and aid in myocardial perfusion. Prodrugs, such as clopidogrel, have not been shown to inhibit these receptors potentially due to the physical and chemical properties of the metabolite Nature Reviews Cardiology 6, 737-738 (December 2009) British Journal of Pharmacology (2016) 173 1163–1178 Antiaggreganti piastrinici Juvenile platelets Clopidogrel Prasugrel Patients with increased platelet turnover have higher levels of immature platelets, and an increase in the immature platelet count has been found to be associated with worse outcome, supporting the hypothesis that these juvenile platelets are more prothrombotic. A continuous systemic exposure of an active compound, as true for ticagrelor, should theoretically inhibit newly formed, juvenile platelets equally well as the old platelets. This should not be the case for the thienopyridines as the platelets formed after elimination of the active metabolites from the circulation will not be inhibited until the next dose of prodrug on the next day.

In addition, rates of fatal intracranial bleeds, although low, were more common with ticagrelor Predefined hierarchical testing of secondary end points showed significant differences in the rates (lower in ticagrelor treated group) of MI alone and death from vascular causes but not stroke alone.

[…] Failure of ticagrelor in PEGASUS to confirm the death benefit observed in PLATO shifted the entire paradigm.” Serebruany, International Journal of Cardiology, 2015 Chronic antithrombotic therapy impairs the essential abilities of clot formation (higher bleeding rates) and stabilising tumour cell arrest in the vasculature (higher cancer risks). Maintaining the tumour-platelet barrier, at least in part, is of compensatory nature, limiting tumour dissemination and keeping cancer cells in situ. Thromb Haemost 2015; 114: 1104–1112 “We may effectively prevent cardiovascular events, but if cancer risks are higher, and it seems they are, then balancing the risk/benefit ratio of modern antithrombotic strategies is way more complex than just matching vascular occlusions with bleeding. To make it perfectly clear, the existing cancer signal will not eliminate dual antiplatelet therapy after acute vascular events, but may impact duration and potency of optimal therapy.” “Based on the current knowledge, we should not omit aspirin at all because the other drugs might otherwise increase solid tumor risks even further if used as monotherapy” Thromb Haemost 2015; 114: 1104–1112 “Even worse is that solid cancer risks may not be exclusively attributed to antiplatelet agents, but anticoagulants as well.” Thromb Haemost 2015; 114: 1104–1112 Blood. 2015;125(22):3484-3490 In human PRP treated with ticagrelor or TAM, MEDI2452 reversed the antiplatelet effect of both in a concentration-dependent manner (A). Its potency (IC50) to reverse 1 µM ticagrelor or 1 µM TAM was 0.64 and 0.78 µM, respectively. Maximal reversals of 78% and 62% for ticagrelor and TAM, respectively, were achieved with concentrations of MEDI2452 up to 1 µM as expected, given that MEDI2452 binds 1:1 with ticagrelor and TAM MEDI2452 reduced the free-ticagrelor concentration in human PRP, with an IC50 value of 0.49 µM (B), which inversely correlated with restoration of ADP-induced platelet aggregation.

Zontivity (2.08 mg/die) should be initiated at least 2 weeks after a MI and preferably within the first 12 months from the acute event. A delayed onset of action (at least 7 days) should be expected when starting therapy with Zontivity. There are limited data on the efficacy and safety of Zontivity beyond 24 months.

There is no known treatment to reverse the antiplatelet effect of Zontivity. Based on results of pre-clinical studies that investigated bleeding while on vorapaxar on the background of acetylsalicylic acid and clopidogrel, it may be possible to restore hemostasis by administering exogenous platelets.
