4.2 Drug Warning

/BOXED WARNING/ WARNING: PREMATURE DISCONTINUATION OF XARELTO INCREASES THE RISK OF THROMBOTIC EVENTS. Premature discontinuation of any oral anticoagulant, including Xarelto, increases the risk of thrombotic events. If anticoagulation with Xarelto is discontinued for a reason other than pathological bleeding or completion of a course of therapy, consider coverage with another anticoagulant

US Natl Inst Health; DailyMed. Current Medication Information for XARELTO (rivaroxaban) tablet, film coated (August 2013). Available from, as of November 13, 2013: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=10db92f9-2300-4a80-836b-673e1ae91610


/BOXED WARNING/ WARNING: SPINAL/EPIDURAL HEMATOMA. Epidural or spinal hematomas have occurred in patients treated with Xarelto who are receiving neuraxial anesthesia or undergoing spinal puncture. These hematomas may result in long-term or permanent paralysis. Consider these risks when scheduling patients for spinal procedures. Factors that can increase the risk of developing epidural or spinal hematomas in these patients include: use of indwelling epidural catheters; concomitant use of other drugs that affect hemostasis, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), platelet inhibitors, other anticoagulants; a history of traumatic or repeated epidural or spinal punctures a history of spinal deformity or spinal surgery. Monitor patients frequently for signs and symptoms of neurological impairment. If neurological compromise is noted, urgent treatment is necessary. Consider the benefits and risks before neuraxial intervention in patients anticoagulated or to be anticoagulated for thromboprophylaxis

Rivaroxaban increases the risk of hemorrhage and can cause serious or fatal bleeding. Bleeding complications were the most common adverse effects of rivaroxaban reported in clinical trials.

American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2013; Drug Information 2013. Bethesda, MD. 2013, p. 1472


Use of rivaroxaban should be avoided in patients with moderate (Child-Pugh class B) or severe (Child-Pugh class C) hepatic impairment or with any hepatic disease associated with coagulopathy; systemic exposure and risk of bleeding may be increased in such patients.

5.3 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Following oral administration, rivaroxaban is rapidly absorbed and reaches peak plasma concentration in 2-4 hours. Bioavailability of the 10 mg dose is >80%. However, the 15-20 mg dose have a lower bioavailability if taken in the fasted state and consequently should be taken with food.


Route of Elimination

Approximately two-thirds of rivaroxaban is excreted into urine (via active tubular secretion in which approximately 36% as unchanged drug and 30% as inactive metabolism). The remaining third of the administered dose is excreted via feces in which 7% is in the form of unchanged drug and 21% as inactive metabolites.


Volume of Distribution

The steady state Vd is 50 L


Clearance

Systemic clearance is approximately 10 L/h, so rivaroxaban is considered a drug with low clearance. Renal clearance is ~3-4 L/h.


Following oral administration, approximately one-third of the absorbed dose is excreted unchanged in the urine, with the remaining two-thirds excreted as inactive metabolites in both the urine and feces. In a Phase 1 study, following the administration of a (14)C-rivaroxaban dose, 66% of the radioactive dose was recovered in urine (36% as unchanged drug) and 28% was recovered in feces (7% as unchanged drug). Unchanged drug is excreted into urine, mainly via active tubular secretion and to a lesser extent via glomerular filtration (approximate 5:1 ratio). Rivaroxaban is a substrate of the efflux transporter proteins P-gp and ABCG2 (also abbreviated Bcrp). Rivaroxaban's affinity for influx transporter proteins is unknown.

Plasma protein binding of rivaroxaban in human plasma is approximately 92% to 95%, with albumin being the main binding component. The steady-state volume of distribution in healthy subjects is approximately 50 L.

US Natl Inst Health; DailyMed. Current Medication Information for XARELTO (rivaroxaban) tablet, film coated (August 2013). Available from, as of November 13, 2013: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=10db92f9-2300-4a80-836b-673e1ae91610


Absorption of rivaroxaban is dependent on the site of drug release in the GI tract. A 29% and 56% decrease in AUC and Cmax compared to tablet was reported when rivaroxaban granulate is released in the proximal small intestine. Exposure is further reduced when drug is released in the distal small intestine, or ascending colon. Avoid administration of rivaroxaban distal to the stomach which can result in reduced absorption and related drug exposure.

The absolute bioavailability of rivaroxaban is dose-dependent. For the 10 mg dose, it is estimated to be 80% to 100% and is not affected by food. Xarelto 10 mg tablets can be taken with or without food. For the 20 mg dose in the fasted state, the absolute bioavailability is approximately 66%. Coadministration of Xarelto with food increases the bioavailability of the 20 mg dose (mean AUC and Cmax increasing by 39% and 76% respectively with food). Xarelto 15 mg and 20 mg tablets should be taken with food.

5.4 Metabolism/Metabolites

Approximately two-thirds of the dose is metabolized. It is metabolized by CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP2J2 and CYP-independant mechanisms


Rivaroxaban undergoes oxidative degradation by cytochrome P-450 (CYP) isoenzymes 3A4/5 and 2J2 and hydrolysis; metabolites are subsequently eliminated through renal and fecal/biliary routes. No major circulating metabolites have been identified in plasma.

5.5 Biological Half-Life

The terminal half life is 5-9 hours in adults and 11-13 hours in the elderly.


The terminal elimination half-life is 11 to 13 hours in the elderly.

The terminal elimination half-life of rivaroxaban is 5 to 9 hours in healthy subjects aged 20 to 45 years.

5.6 Mechanism of Action

Rivaroxaban competitively inhibits free and clot bound factor Xa. Factor Xa is needed to activate prothrombin (factor II) to thrombin (factor IIa). Thrombin is a serine protease that is required to activate fibrinogen to fibrin, which is the loose meshwork that completes the clotting process. Since one molecule of factor Xa can generate more than 1000 molecules of thrombin, selective inhibitors of factor Xa are profoundly useful in terminating the amplification of thrombin generation. The action of rivaroxaban is irreversible.


Rivaroxaban, an oral, direct activated factor X (Xa) inhibitor, is an anticoagulant. Factor Xa plays a central role in the blood coagulation cascade by serving as the convergence point for the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways; inhibition of coagulation factor Xa by rivaroxaban prevents conversion of prothrombin to thrombin and subsequent thrombus formation. Rivaroxaban inhibits both free and prothrombinase-bound factor Xa. Unlike fondaparinux, heparin, and the low molecular weight heparins, rivaroxaban binds directly to the active site of factor Xa without the need for a cofactor (e.g., antithrombin III). Rivaroxaban inhibits factor Xa with more than 100,000-fold greater selectivity than other biologically important serine proteases (e.g., thrombin, trypsin, plasmin, factor VIIa, factor IXa, urokinase, activated protein C).

Xarelto is an orally bioavailable factor Xa inhibitor that selectively blocks the active site of factor Xa and does not require a cofactor (such as Anti-thrombin III) for activity. Activation of factor X to factor Xa (FXa) via the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways plays a central role in the cascade of blood coagulation.
