Pharmacological action
Elikvis - direct-acting anticoagulant - a selective inhibitor of factor Xa blood coagulation.
The mechanism of action of apixaban is to inhibit the activity of FXa. As a result of this, apixaban changes the values of the indicators of the blood coagulation system: lengthens the prothrombin time, MHO and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). Changes in these indicators when using the drug in a therapeutic dose are insignificant and individual. Therefore, their use in order to assess the pharmacodynamic activity of apixaban is not recommended.
Apixaban inhibition of FXa activity was confirmed by a chromogenic test using Rotachrom heparin. The change in anti-FXa activity is directly proportional to the increase in the concentration of apixaban in blood plasma, in this case, the maximum activity values are observed upon reaching Cmax of apixaban in blood plasma. A linear relationship between the concentration and anti-FXa activity of apixaban is recorded in a wide range of therapeutic doses of the drug.
Changes in anti-FXa activity with changes in dose and apixaban concentration are more pronounced and less variable than blood coagulation. The expected maximum and minimum anti-FXa activity of apixaban in equilibrium, when applied at a dose of 2.5 mg 2 times / day, is 1. 3MU / ml (5/95 percentile - 0.67 IU / ml - 2.4 IU / ml) and 0.84 IU / ml (5/95 percentile -0.37MU / ml- 1.8 IU / ml), respectively, which correlates with the fluctuations of this indicator in the interval between doses of the drug (less than 1.6 times).
Against the background of apixaban therapy, routine monitoring of its concentration in blood plasma is not required, however, performing the Rotachrom anti-FXa activity test may be useful for deciding whether to continue therapy.
Indications
prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism in patients after planned hip or knee arthroplasty
prophylaxis of strokes, systemic thromboembolism and mortality reduction in patients with atrial fibrillation. The exception is patients with severe to moderate mitral stenosis or artificial heart valves.
Contraindications
hypersensitivity to any component of the
drug clinically significant bleeding
severe liver dysfunction
impaired renal function with Cl creatinine less than 15 ml / min, as well as use in patients undergoing
dialysis
pregnancy up to 18 years of age .
It is not recommended to simultaneously use apixaban with drugs whose action may be associated with the development of serious bleeding.
Caution: apixaban should be used with caution in patients with impaired hepatic function of moderate and mild severity (Child-Pugh classification classes A or B) undergoing spinal / epidural anesthesia or spinal / epidural puncture (see "Special Instructions") in patients receiving systemic therapy with powerful inhibitors of the isoenzyme CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein, such as azole antifungal agents (in particular ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole and posaconazole), HIV protease inhibitors (for example ritonavir) with api Saban with potent inducers isoenzyme CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein (specifically rifampicin, phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital or preparations Hypericum perforatum).
Use during pregnancy and lactation
There is only limited information on the use of Elikvis during pregnancy.
The use of apixaban during pregnancy is not recommended.
There is no information on the excretion of apixaban or its metabolites with human milk.
If you need to use the drug Elikvis during lactation, breastfeeding should be discontinued.
Special instructions
In patients with atrial fibrillation and conditions requiring the use of monotherapy or therapy with a combination of two antiplatelet drugs, a thorough assessment of the benefit / risk ratio should be carried out before the simultaneous use of the drug Elikvis.
Elikvis is not recommended for use in patients with liver disease, accompanied by disorders in the blood coagulation system and a clinically significant risk of bleeding.
It was shown that in patients at high risk after acute coronary syndrome, with the presence of multiple cardiac and non-cardiac concomitant diseases, there was a significant increase in the risk of bleeding with the combined use of apixaban and acetylsalicylic acid or a combination of acetylsalicylic acid and clopidogrel compared to placebo.
As with other anticoagulants, careful monitoring of patients taking Elikvis is necessary for the development of bleeding. With the development of severe bleeding, the drug Elikvis should be discontinued.
With the development of hemorrhagic complications, it is necessary to cancel treatment with the drug and perform an examination to determine the source of bleeding. If necessary, appropriate treatment is prescribed, in particular surgical stopping of bleeding or transfusion of freshly frozen blood plasma.
Cancellation of anticoagulant therapy, incl. apixaban, with active bleeding before elective surgery or an invasive procedure, can lead to an increased risk of thrombosis. Avoid prolonged cessation of therapy and, if it is necessary to temporarily discontinue apixaban therapy, then it must be resumed as soon as possible.
Performing spinal, epidural anesthesia or puncture in patients receiving Eliquis
When performing spinal or epidural anesthesia or diagnostic puncture of these areas in patients receiving antithrombotic agents to prevent thromboembolism, there is a risk of developing epidural or spinal hematomas, which, in turn, may cause persistent or irreversible paralysis. This risk may increase even more with the use of an installed epidural catheter in the postoperative period or with the parallel use of other drugs that affect hemostasis. Installed epidural or subarachnoid catheters should be removed at least 5 hours before the first dose of Elikvis. A similar increase in risk can be observed when performing traumatic or multiple punctures of the epidural or subarachnoid spaces. Frequent monitoring of patients is necessary for the development of manifestations of disorders of the nervous system (in particular, numbness or weakness of the lower extremities, impaired bowel or bladder function).
In the development of such disorders, an emergency examination and treatment is necessary. Before performing interventions on epidural or subarachnoid spaces in patients receiving anticoagulants, including in order to prevent thrombosis, an assessment of the ratio of potential benefits and risks is necessary.
Effect on the ability to drive vehicles and work with other mechanisms. Elikvis does not have a significant impact on the ability to drive a car and work with mechanisms.

Drug interaction
Effect of other drugs on the pharmacokinetics of apixaban
Inhibitors of CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein. The combination of apixaban with ketoconazole (at a dose of 400 mg, 1 time per day), which is a powerful inhibitor of both the CYP3A4 isoenzyme and P-glycoprotein, increased the average AUC of apixaban by 2 times and the average Cmax by 1.6 times. Dose adjustment of apixaban when combined with ketoconazole is not required, however, apixaban should be used with caution in patients receiving systemic therapy with azole antifungal agents, in particular ketoconazole, or other potent inhibitors of the CYP3A4 isoenzyme and P-glycoprotein.
Drugs not related to potent inhibitors of the CYP3A4 isoenzyme and P-glycoprotein (e.g. diltiazem, naproxen, amiodarone, verapamil, quinidine) are likely to lead to an increase in the concentration of apixaban in the blood plasma to a lesser extent. For example, diltiazem (a moderate inhibitor of the CYP3A4 isoenzyme and a weak P-glycoprotein inhibitor) at a dose of 360 mg once a day led to an increase in the average AUC of apixaban by 1.4 times and the average Cmax by 1.3 times. Naproxen (an inhibitor of P-glycoprotein) when used at a dose of 500 mg in healthy volunteers caused an increase in the average AUC and Cmax of apixaban by 1.5 and 1.6 times, respectively. In this case, an increase in the values of the indicators of the blood coagulation system (PV, INR and APTT) was noted. However, no effect of naproxen on arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation, nor a clinically significant prolongation of bleeding time, were observed.
Dose adjustment of apixaban when combined with moderate inhibitors of the CYP3A4 isoenzyme and / or P-glycoprotein is not required.
Inducers of the isoenzyme CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein. The combination of apixaban with rifampicin (a powerful inducer of the isoenzyme CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein) led to a decrease in the average AUC and Cmax of apixaban by approximately 54 and 42%, respectively. Apparently, the combination of apixaban with other powerful inducers of the isoenzyme CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein (in particular phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital or perforated St. John's wort) can also lead to a decrease in the concentration of apixaban in blood plasma. Correction of the dose of apixaban when it is combined with the agents of this group is not required, however, these agents should be combined with caution.
Anticoagulants, platelet aggregation inhibitors and NSAIDs. After co-administration of enoxaparin (once, at a dose of 40 mg) and apixaban (once, at a dose of 5 mg), the additive effect of these drugs on FXa activity was noted.
There were no signs of pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic interaction of apixaban with acetylsalicylic acid (at a dose of 325 mg, 1 time per day) in healthy people.
Combination of apixaban with clopidogrel (at a dose of 75 mg, 1 time per day) or a combination of clopidogrel (75 mg) and acetylsalicylic acid (162 mg, 1 time per day) in phase I of the clinical study did not lead to an increase in bleeding time or further inhibition of platelet aggregation compared with the use of these antiplatelet agents in monotherapy. An increase in the indicators of the blood coagulation system (PV, INR, and APTT) corresponded to the effects of apixaban when used in monotherapy.
It is not recommended to simultaneously use drugs whose effect may be associated with the development of serious bleeding, such as unfractionated heparin or heparin derivatives (including low molecular weight heparins), FXa inhibiting oligosaccharides (e.g. fondaparinux), direct thrombin II inhibitors (e.g. desirudin), thrombolytic drugs , IIb / IIIa glycoprotein receptor antagonists, dipyridamole, dextran, sulfinpyrazone, vitamin K antagonists and other oral anticoagulants. It should be noted that unfractionated heparin can be used in doses necessary to support patency of the central venous or arterial catheter.
In patients after elective hip or knee replacement, co-administration of apixaban with other antiplatelet agents or antithrombotic drugs is not recommended.
Combination with other medicines. No clinically significant pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic interaction of apixaban with atenolol or famotidine has been identified.
The combination of apixaban (at a dose of 10 mg) with atenolol (at a dose of 100 mg) did not lead to the development of clinically significant changes in the pharmacokinetics of apixaban, however, it was accompanied by a decrease in the average values of AUC and Cmaxapixaban by 15 and 18%, respectively, compared with the monotherapy regimen. The administration of apixaban (at a dose of 10 mg) with famotidine (at a dose of 40 mg) did not affect the AUC or Cmax values of apixaban.
Effect of apixaban on the pharmacokinetics of other drugs
In in vitro studies, apixaban did not inhibit the activity of the isoenzymes CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2D6 or CYP3A4 (inhibitory concentration (IC50) slightly less than 45 μm) the activity of the CYP2C19 isoenzyme (IC50> 20 μmol / L) in a concentration significantly higher than the Cmax of the drug in blood plasma during its clinical use. Apixaban is not an inducer of isoenzymes CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP3A4 / 5 in concentrations up to 20 μmol / L.
In this regard, it is expected that when used together, it will not affect the clearance of drugs metabolized by these isoenzymes. In addition, apixaban does not significantly inhibit the activity of P-glycoprotein. In studies in healthy volunteers, apixaban did not significantly alter the pharmacokinetics of digoxin, naproxen, or atenolol.
Overdose
Symptoms: Increased risk of bleeding. In controlled clinical trials, apixaban was taken orally by healthy volunteers at doses up to 50 mg / day for 3–7 days (25 mg, 2 times daily for 7 days or 50 mg, 1 time for 3 days) for clinically relevant patients. there were no undesirable effects.
Treatment: Activated carbon can be considered. The antidote of the drug is unknown.

Drug interaction
Effect of other drugs on the pharmacokinetics of apixaban
Inhibitors of CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein. The combination of apixaban with ketoconazole (at a dose of 400 mg, 1 time per day), which is a powerful inhibitor of both the CYP3A4 isoenzyme and P-glycoprotein, increased the average AUC of apixaban by 2 times and the average Cmax by 1.6 times. Dose adjustment of apixaban when combined with ketoconazole is not required, however, apixaban should be used with caution in patients receiving systemic therapy with azole antifungal agents, in particular ketoconazole, or other potent inhibitors of the CYP3A4 isoenzyme and P-glycoprotein.
Drugs not related to potent inhibitors of the CYP3A4 isoenzyme and P-glycoprotein (e.g. diltiazem, naproxen, amiodarone, verapamil, quinidine) are likely to lead to an increase in the concentration of apixaban in the blood plasma to a lesser extent. For example, diltiazem (a moderate inhibitor of the CYP3A4 isoenzyme and a weak P-glycoprotein inhibitor) at a dose of 360 mg once a day led to an increase in the average AUC of apixaban by 1.4 times and the average Cmax by 1.3 times. Naproxen (an inhibitor of P-glycoprotein) when used at a dose of 500 mg in healthy volunteers caused an increase in the average AUC and Cmax of apixaban by 1.5 and 1.6 times, respectively. In this case, an increase in the values of the indicators of the blood coagulation system (PV, INR and APTT) was noted. However, no effect of naproxen on arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation, nor a clinically significant prolongation of bleeding time, were observed.
Dose adjustment of apixaban when combined with moderate inhibitors of the CYP3A4 isoenzyme and / or P-glycoprotein is not required.
Inducers of the isoenzyme CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein. The combination of apixaban with rifampicin (a powerful inducer of the isoenzyme CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein) led to a decrease in the average AUC and Cmax of apixaban by approximately 54 and 42%, respectively. Apparently, the combination of apixaban with other powerful inducers of the isoenzyme CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein (in particular phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital or perforated St. John's wort) can also lead to a decrease in the concentration of apixaban in blood plasma. Correction of the dose of apixaban when it is combined with the agents of this group is not required, however, these agents should be combined with caution.
Anticoagulants, platelet aggregation inhibitors and NSAIDs. After co-administration of enoxaparin (once, at a dose of 40 mg) and apixaban (once, at a dose of 5 mg), the additive effect of these drugs on FXa activity was noted.
There were no signs of pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic interaction of apixaban with acetylsalicylic acid (at a dose of 325 mg, 1 time per day) in healthy people.
Combination of apixaban with clopidogrel (at a dose of 75 mg, 1 time per day) or a combination of clopidogrel (75 mg) and acetylsalicylic acid (162 mg, 1 time per day) in phase I of the clinical study did not lead to an increase in bleeding time or further inhibition of platelet aggregation compared with the use of these antiplatelet agents in monotherapy. An increase in the indicators of the blood coagulation system (PV, INR, and APTT) corresponded to the effects of apixaban when used in monotherapy.
It is not recommended to simultaneously use drugs whose effect may be associated with the development of serious bleeding, such as unfractionated heparin or heparin derivatives (including low molecular weight heparins), FXa inhibiting oligosaccharides (e.g. fondaparinux), direct thrombin II inhibitors (e.g. desirudin), thrombolytic drugs , IIb / IIIa glycoprotein receptor antagonists, dipyridamole, dextran, sulfinpyrazone, vitamin K antagonists and other oral anticoagulants. It should be noted that unfractionated heparin can be used in doses necessary to support patency of the central venous or arterial catheter.
In patients after elective hip or knee replacement, co-administration of apixaban with other antiplatelet agents or antithrombotic drugs is not recommended.
Combination with other medicines. No clinically significant pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic interaction of apixaban with atenolol or famotidine has been identified.
The combination of apixaban (at a dose of 10 mg) with atenolol (at a dose of 100 mg) did not lead to the development of clinically significant changes in the pharmacokinetics of apixaban, however, it was accompanied by a decrease in the average values of AUC and Cmaxapixaban by 15 and 18%, respectively, compared with the monotherapy regimen. The administration of apixaban (at a dose of 10 mg) with famotidine (at a dose of 40 mg) did not affect the AUC or Cmax values of apixaban.
Effect of apixaban on the pharmacokinetics of other drugs
In in vitro studies, apixaban did not inhibit the activity of the isoenzymes CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2D6 or CYP3A4 (inhibitory concentration (IC50) slightly less than 45 μm) the activity of the CYP2C19 isoenzyme (IC50> 20 μmol / L) in a concentration significantly higher than the Cmax of the drug in blood plasma during its clinical use. Apixaban is not an inducer of isoenzymes CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP3A4 / 5 in concentrations up to 20 μmol / L.
In this regard, it is expected that when used together, it will not affect the clearance of drugs metabolized by these isoenzymes. In addition, apixaban does not significantly inhibit the activity of P-glycoprotein. In studies in healthy volunteers, apixaban did not significantly alter the pharmacokinetics of digoxin, naproxen, or atenolol.
Overdose
Symptoms: Increased risk of bleeding. In controlled clinical trials, apixaban was taken orally by healthy volunteers at doses up to 50 mg / day for 3–7 days (25 mg, 2 times daily for 7 days or 50 mg, 1 time for 3 days) for clinically relevant patients. there were no undesirable effects.
Treatment: Activated carbon can be considered. The antidote of the drug is unknown.
