Abstract

Introduction: The distribution of anti-factor Xa activity (AXA) values, prothrombin time (PT), and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) in patients administered each factor Xa (FXa) inhibitors (apixaban, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban) has not fully been assessed. Purpose: To clarify the distribution of AXA, PT, and APTT in patients taking FXa inhibitors. Methods: Trough and peak AXA values, PT, and APTT were measured in 85 patients taking apixaban, 105 patients taking edoxaban, and 27 patients taking rivaroxaban. The patients were further divided into three groups based on the dosage. Results: At trough time of apixaban, the AXA values in patients administered 20 mg were significantly higher than those administered 5 mg or 10 mg (P < 0.001). PT in patients administered 20 mg were significantly higher than those administered 5 mg or 10 mg (P = 0.006). At peak time, the AXA values in patients administered 20 mg were significantly higher than those administered 5 mg or 10 mg (P < 0.001). PT in patients administered 20 mg was significantly higher than those administered 5 mg or 10 mg (P < 0.001). APTT in patients administered 20 mg was significantly higher than those administered 5 mg or 10 mg (P < 0.001). At peak time of edoxaban, the AXA values in patients administered 60 mg were significantly higher than those administered 15 mg or 30 mg (P < 0.001). PT in patients administered 60 mg were significantly higher than those administered 15 mg or 30 mg (P = 0.006). APTT in patients administered 60 mg was significantly higher than those administered 30 mg (P = 0.003). At trough time of rivaroxaban, the AXA values in patients administered 30 mg were significantly higher than those administered 10 mg or 15 mg (P = 0.001). At peak time, AXA values in patients administered 30 mg were significantly higher than those administered 15 mg (P = 0.028). Conclusion: This study determined the distribution of AXA, PT, and APTT in patients administered apixaban, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban.
