Postmarketing surveillance on the clinical use of edoxaban in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (ETNA-AF-Japan): One-year safety and effectiveness analyses.


ABSTRACT:

Background

The safety and effectiveness of edoxaban in real-world clinical settings have not yet been elucidated thoroughly among Japanese patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). We report the one-year interim results of ETNA-AF-Japan (Edoxaban Treatment in routiNe clinical prActice in patients with nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation: UMIN000017011), an ongoing two-year study.

Methods

ETNA-AF-Japan is a prospective, real-world multicenter observational study that analyzes the long-term safety and effectiveness of edoxaban. Physicians recorded clinical characteristics, bleeding events, and clinical events of ischemic stroke and systemic embolism, among others.

Results

In total, 11 569 patients with NVAF were enrolled. The demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients in the safety analysis set (n = 11 107) were a mean age of 74.2 ± 10.0 years; female sex, 40.6%; age ≥75 years, 52.4%; body weight ≤60 kg, 54.3%; creatinine clearance ≤50 mL/min, 31.2%; mean CHADS2 score of 2.2 ± 1.3. The mean treatment period was 311.2 days (median; 366.0 days), and ~80% of patients continued edoxaban treatment. In the safety analysis, the incidence of all bleeding events was 6.32% [95% CI: 5.87, 6.79] (n = 702), and for major bleeding, it was 1.08% [0.90, 1.29] (n = 120). In the effectiveness analysis set (n = 11 059), the incidence of ischemic stroke (excluding TIA) or systemic embolism was 1.10% [0.92, 1.32] (n = 122).

Conclusions

At one-year follow-up, the results showed no major concerns about the safety and effectiveness of edoxaban in Japanese patients with NVAF in a real-world clinical setting.
