Edoxaban Exposure in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Estimated Creatinine Clearance Exceeding 100 mL/min.

ABSTRACT: Edoxaban 60 mg is approved for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) not fulfilling any dose-reduction criteria. As edoxaban is partially renally cleared (≈50%), this study compared pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics of edoxaban 60 mg once daily with edoxaban 75 mg once daily in patients with AF with high renal clearance (creatinine clearance > 100 mL/min) over 12 months. Primary PK and pharmacodynamics end points were plasma edoxaban exposure and anti-factor Xa (FXa) concentration. A population PK model estimated edoxaban exposure at steady state. Efficacy and safety outcomes included composites of stroke, transient ischemic attack, systemic embolism, and major and clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding. Of 607 patients, 303 and 304 were randomized to edoxaban
