4.2 Drug Warning

/BOXED WARNING/ REDUCED EFFICACY IN NONVALVULAR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION PATIENTS WITH CRCL > 95 ML/MIN. Savaysa should not be used in patients with CrCL > 95 mL/min. In the ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 study, nonvalvular atrial fibrillation patients with CrCL > 95 mL/min had an increased rate of ischemic stroke with Savaysa 60 mg once daily compared to patients treated with warfarin. In these patients another anticoagulant should be used.

/BOXED WARNING/ PREMATURE DISCONTINUATION OF SAVAYSA INCREASES THE RISK OF ISCHEMIC EVENTS. Premature discontinuation of any oral anticoagulant in the absence of adequate alternative anticoagulation increases the risk of ischemic events. If Savaysa is discontinued for a reason other than pathological bleeding or completion of a course of therapy, consider coverage with another anticoagulant as described in the transition guidance.

/BOXED WARNING/ SPINAL/EPIDURAL HEMATOMA. Epidural or spinal hematomas may occur in patients treated with Savaysa who are receiving neuraxial anesthesia or undergoing spinal puncture. These hematomas may result in long-term or permanent paralysis. Consider these risks when scheduling patients for spinal procedures. Factors that can increase the risk of developing epidural or spinal hematomas in these patients include: use of indwelling epidural catheters; concomitant use of other drugs that affect hemostasis, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), platelet inhibitors, other anticoagulants; a history of traumatic or repeated epidural or spinal punctures; a history of spinal deformity or spinal surgery; optimal timing between the administration of Savaysa and neuraxial procedures is not known. Monitor patients frequently for signs and symptoms of neurological impairment. If neurological compromise is noted, urgent treatment is necessar. Consider the benefits and risks before neuraxial intervention in patients anticoagulated or to be anticoagulated.

4.3 Drug Indication

Edoxaban is indicated for reducing the risk of stroke and systemic embolism (SE) in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). However, it should not be used in patients with creatinine clearance (CrCL) > 95 mL/min because of increased risk of ischemic stroke compared to warfarin at the highest dose studied (60 mg). It is also indicated for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) following 5-10 days of initial therapy with a parenteral anticoagulant.

5.5 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Following oral administration, peak plasma edoxaban concentrations are observed within 1-2 hours. Absolute bioavailability is 62%.

5.6 Metabolism/Metabolites

Edoxaban is not extensively metabolized by CYP3A4 resulting in minimal drug-drug interactions. However, it does interact with drugs that inhibit p-gp (p-glycoprotein), which is used to transport edoxaban across the intestinal wall. Unchanged edoxaban is the predominant form in plasma. There is minimal metabolism via hydrolysis (mediated by carboxylesterase 1), conjugation, and oxidation by CYP3A4. The predominant metabolite M-4, formed by hydrolysis, is human-specific and active and reaches less than 10% of the exposure of the parent compound in healthy subjects. Exposure to the other metabolites is less than 5% of exposure to edoxaban.


... All subjects received a single oral 60 mg edoxaban dose in period 1, and 7 days of 600 mg rifampin (2 x 300 mg capsules once daily) with a single oral edoxaban 60 mg dose administered concomitantly on day 7 in period 2. A 6-day washout period separated the treatments. Plasma concentrations of edoxaban and its metabolites M4 and M6 were measured, and limited assessments of pharmacodynamic markers of coagulation were performed. In total, 34 healthy subjects were enrolled; 32 completed the study. Coadministration of rifampin with edoxaban decreased edoxaban exposure but increased active metabolite exposure. Rifampin increased apparent oral clearance of edoxaban by 33% and decreased its half-life by 50%. Anticoagulant effects based on the prothrombin time (PT) and the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) with and without rifampin at early time points were maintained to a greater-than-expected degree than with edoxaban exposure alone, presumably because of an increased contribution from the active metabolites. Edoxaban was well tolerated in this healthy adult population. Rifampin reduced exposure to edoxaban while increasing exposure to its active metabolites M4 and M6. PT and aPTT at early time points did not change appreciably; however, the data should be interpreted with caution.

PMID:26068927 Full text: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4488474 Mendell J et al; Clin Drug Investig 35 (7): 447-53 (2015)


Edoxaban and its low-abundance, active metabolite M4 are substrates of P-glycoprotein (P-gp; MDR1) and organic anion transporter protein 1B1 (OATP1B1), respectively, and pharmacological inhibitors of P-gp and OATP1B1 can affect edoxaban and M4 pharmacokinetics (PK). In this integrated pharmacogenomic analysis, genotype and concentration-time data from 458 healthy volunteers in 14 completed phase 1 studies were pooled to examine the impact on edoxaban PK parameters of allelic variants of ABCB1 (rs1045642: C3435T) and SLCO1B1 (rs4149056: T521C), which encode for P-gp and OATP1B1. Although some pharmacologic inhibitors of P-gp and OATP1B1 increase edoxaban exposure, neither the ABCB1 C3435T nor the SLCO1B1 T521C polymorphism affected edoxaban PK. A slight elevation in M4 exposure was observed among SLCO1B1 C-allele carriers; however, this elevation is unlikely to be clinically significant as plasma M4 concentrations comprise <10% of total edoxaban levels.

5.8 Mechanism of Action

Edoxaban is a selective inhibitor of factor Xa, a serine endopeptidase of the clotting cascade required for cleavage of prothrombin into thrombin.


Edoxaban tosylate monohydrate, an oral, direct activated factor X (Xa) inhibitor, is an anticoagulant. Factor Xa plays a central role in the blood coagulation cascade by serving as the convergence point for the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways; inhibition of coagulation factor Xa by edoxaban prevents conversion of prothrombin to thrombin and subsequent thrombus formation. The drug binds directly and selectively to factor Xa without the need for a cofactor (e.g., antithrombin III), and inhibits both free and prothrombinase-bound factor Xa as well as thrombin-induced platelet aggregation.
