4.3 Drug Warning

The most frequent and severe adverse effect of eptifibatide therapy is bleeding. Bleeding complications, which usually are minor and develop at vascular access (e.g., femoral puncture) sites (e.g., in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)), have been reported in 35-75% of patients receiving various dosages of eptifibatide in clinical studies. Bleeding is an extension of the pharmacologic action of eptifibatide and was classified in clinical trials principally according to criteria of the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) study groups. Minor bleeding generally was defined as spontaneous gross hematuria or spontaneous hematemesis; observed blood loss with a decrease in hemoglobin concentration of 3-5 g/dL or a reduction in hematocrit of at least 10%; or a decrease of 4-5 g/dL or 12-15% in hemoglobin or hematocrit, respectively, with no identifiable bleeding site. Major bleeding was defined as intracranial hemorrhage or overt bleeding associated with a hemoglobin or hematocrit decrease of at least 5 g/dL or at least 15%, respectively.

American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2015; Drug Information 2015. Bethesda, MD. 2015, p. 1538


Because eptifibatide increases the risk of bleeding, the drug is contraindicated in patients with a history of bleeding diathesis or active abnormal bleeding (e.g., elevated hemostatic indices, recent noncompressible vascular punctures GI or genitourinary bleeding) within the previous 30 days. A low hematocrit value (less than 30%) at baseline could represent recent undetected bleeding, and patients with such values may not be able to tolerate additional bleeding episodes; eptifibatide should not be used in these patients. Eptifibatide also is contraindicated in patients with severe uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure exceeding 200 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure exceeding 110 mm Hg with antihypertensive therapy); recent (within 6 weeks) major surgery; history of stroke within 30 days or any history of hemorrhagic stroke; current or planned therapy with another GP IIb/IIIa-receptor inhibitor; and patients receiving renal dialysis. No data are available on the use of eptifibatide in patients with serum creatinine concentrations of 4 mg/dL or greater; the dosage should be reduced in patients with serum creatinine concentrations between 2-4 mg/dL.

4.4 Drug Indication

For treatment of myocardial infarction and acute coronary syndrome.


FDA Label


Integrilin is intended for use with acetylsalicylic acid and unfractionated heparin.

Integrilin is indicated for the prevention of early myocardial infarction in patients presenting with unstable angina or non-Q-wave myocardial infarction with the last episode of chest pain occurring within 24 hours and with ECG changes and / or elevated cardiac enzymes.

Patients most likely to benefit from Integrilin treatment are those at high risk of developing myocardial infarction within the first 3-4 days after onset of acute angina symptoms including for instance those that are likely to undergo an early percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA).

5.5 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Clearance

55 mL/kg/h [patients with coronary artery disease]

Eptifibatide is approximately 25% bound to plasma proteins, principally (9-16%) to albumin.The volume of distribution of eptifibatide in patients with coronary artery disease is about 185-260 mL/kg and is somewhat higher (220-270 mL/kg) in healthy individuals.

American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2015; Drug Information 2015. Bethesda, MD. 2015, p. 1541


Eptifibatide, a synthetic peptide inhibitor of the platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor, has been studied as an antithrombotic agent in a variety of acute ischemic coronary syndromes. The purpose of the present study was to characterize the disposition of (14)C-eptifibatide in man after a single intravenous (i.v.) bolus dose. (14)C-Eptifibatide (approximately 50 uCi) was administered to eight healthy men as a single 135-ug/kg IV bolus. Blood, breath carbon dioxide, urine, and fecal samples were collected for up to 72 hours postdose and analyzed for radioactivity by liquid scintillation spectrometry. Plasma and urine samples were also assayed by liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry for eptifibatide and deamidated eptifibatide (DE). Mean (+/- SD) peak plasma eptifibatide concentrations of 879 +/- 251 ng/mL were achieved at the first sampling time (5 minutes), and concentrations then generally declined biexponentially, with a mean distribution half-life of 5 +/- 2.5 minutes and a mean terminal elimination half-life of 1.13 +/- 0.17 hours. Plasma eptifibatide concentrations and radioactivity declined in parallel, with most of the radioactivity (82.4%) attributed to eptifibatide. A total of approximately 73% of administered radioactivity was recovered in the 72-hour period following (14)C-eptifibatide dosing. The primary route of elimination was urinary (98% of the total recovered radioactivity), whereas fecal (1.5%) and breath (0.8%) excretion was small. Eptifibatide is cleared by both renal and nonrenal mechanisms, with renal clearance accounting for approximately 40% of total body clearance. Within the first 24 hours, the drug is primarily excreted in the urine as unmodified eptifibatide (34%), DE (19%), and more polar metabolites (13%).

PMID:9589822 Alton KB et al; Clin Ther 20 (2): 307-23 (1998)


Plasma clearance of eptifibatide is proportional to body weight and estimated creatinine clearance and inversely proportional to age. Following a single IV dose of (14)C-radiolabeled eptifibatide (135 ug/kg) in healthy men, renal clearance averaged approximately 40-50% of total body clearance. Clearance is reduced by 50% in patients with moderate to severe renal impairment (estimated Clcr less than 50 mL/minute). Total body clearance in geriatric patients with coronary artery disease is lower than that in younger adults.

5.6 Metabolism/Metabolites

No major metabolites have been detected in human plasma. Deamidated eptifibatide and other, more polar metabolites have been detected in urine.


(14)C-eptifibatide was extensively metabolized to deamidated eptifibatide and to several polar metabolites by both rats and monkeys. The drug-derived radioactivity excreted into the bile by rats, and identified as deamidated eptifibatide, was reabsorbed from the intestinal tract and further metabolized to more polar metabolites. The plasma and urine metabolite profiles in rats and monkeys indicate that the metabolic disposition of eptifibatide is similar for the two species.

Health Canada; Product Monograph for Integrilin (Eptifibatide Injection), Drug Identification Number (DIN): 02240351 p.25 (Date of Preparation: February 16, 2011).


Eptifibatide is metabolized principally through deamidation to a metabolite that has approximately 41% of the platelet-aggregation inhibitory activity of the parent compound, and through formation of other more polar metabolites. Approximately 27% of a dose of eptifibatide is broken down in plasma into naturally occurring amino acids; no major non-amino acid metabolites have been detected in plasma in humans.

5.7 Biological Half-Life

Approximately 2.5 hours


In Cynomolgus monkeys, plasma concentrations of (14)C-eptifibatide-derived radioactivity declined with a half life of about 12 hours following a single 2 mg/kg IV dose of (14)C-eptifibatide. Unchanged eptifibatide, which accounted for approximately 93% of total plasma (14)C at 5 min post-dose, was eliminated rapidly with a half life of 17 min.

Health Canada; Product Monograph for Integrilin (Eptifibatide Injection), Drug Identification Number (DIN): 02240351 p.24 (Date of Preparation: February 16, 2011). Available from, as of March 8, 2016: https://webprod5.hc-sc.gc.ca/dpd-bdpp/start-debuter.do?lang=eng


In rats, plasma concentrations of (14)C-eptifibatide-derived radioactivity declined rapidly with a terminal phase half life of about 5 hours following a single 2 mg/kg IV dose of the radiolabeled drug. Unchanged eptifibatide declined with an apparent half life of about 8 min. Following single 2 and 20 mg/kg IV doses, the plasma concentrations of eptifibatide were dose-proportional and the half life (11 to 12 min) was dose-independent, indicating linear kinetics within the 2 to 20 mg/kg dose range.

Health Canada; Product Monograph for Integrilin (Eptifibatide Injection), Drug Identification Number (DIN): 02240351 p.24 (Date of Preparation: February 16, 2011). Available from, as of March 8, 2016: https://webprod5.hc-sc.gc.ca/dpd-bdpp/start-debuter.do?lang=eng


The half-life of eptifibatide in patients with coronary artery disease averages 2.5-2.8 hours. In healthy individuals, half-life of the drug reportedly averages 0.83-2.4 hours.

Eptifibatide inhibits platelet aggregation by reversibly binding to the platelet receptor glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa of human platelets, thus preventing the binding of fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, and other adhesive ligands. Inhibition of platelet aggregation occurs in a dose- and concentration-dependent manner.
