RCT Data: Efficacy and Safety in SPAF

Apixaban demonstrated consistent benefits across patients with NVAF with a wide range of stroke risks versus warfarin1,5-7,*

Safety in SPAF

Apixaban demonstrated a favourable safety profile across components of major bleeding versus warfarin1,5 
 

  

Adapted from Granger CB, et al. 2011; Conolly SJ, et al. 2011.

  

  

*As assessed by the CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED scores,7 stroke or SE was the primary efficacy endpoint and major bleeding was the primary safety endpoint of the ARISTOTLE trial.

The ARISTOTLE trial was not designed or powered to detect interactions between study drug and CHA2DS2-VASc score
subgroups.1,7

Apixaban was studied in a randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, non-inferiority trial in 18,201 patients.1 Stroke/SE was the primary efficacy endpoint and major bleeding was the primary safety endpoint.1 Intracranial bleeding and major bleeding at other locations including GI bleeding were components of the primary safety endpoint.1 The endpoints presented were selected due to their frequency and severity: intracranial bleeding, the most feared complication of anticoagulation therapy due to its high risk of death and disability8; and GI bleeding, the most frequent adverse event associated with OAC use.9-11
