Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Aims: The aim of this analysis was to use a population approach to facilitate the understanding of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of rivaroxaban in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and to evaluate the influence of patient covariates on the exposure of rivaroxaban in patients with ACS. Methods: A population pharmacokinetic model was developed using pharmacokinetic samples from 2290 patients in ATLAS ACS-TIMI 46. The relationship between pharmacokinetics and the primary pharmacodynamic endpoint, prothrombin time (PT) was evaluated. Results: The pharmacokinetics of rivaroxaban in patients with ACS was adequately described by an oral one-compartment model. The estimated absorption rate, apparent clearance and volume of distribution were 1.24 h(-1 ) (interindividual variability: 139%), 6.48 L/h (31%), and 57.9 L (10%), respectively. Simulations indicate that the influences of renal function, age, and body weight on exposure in ACS patients are consistent with the findings in previous Phase 1 studies. Rivaroxaban plasma concentrations exhibit a close-to-linear relationship with PT in the ACS population with little interindividual variability. The estimated pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic parameters for the ACS patients were comparable to those for venous thromboembolism prevention, deep vein thrombosis, and atrial fibrillation patients. Conclusions: The similarity in pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of rivaroxaban among different patient populations and the low interindividual variability in exposure-PT relationship indicate the anticoagulant effect of rivaroxaban is highly predictable and consistent across all the patient populations studied. © 2012 The Authors.
