Factors Associated With Edoxaban Concentration Among Patients With Atrial Fibrillation.

ABSTRACT: Background and Purpose: Edoxaban exposure varies across different ethnicities. The purpose of our study was to examine the risk factors associated with high or low edoxaban concentrations in Asian populations. Methods: Participants with atrial fibrillation who were undergoing edoxaban therapy were enrolled. Peak (1-4 h after edoxaban administration) and trough (24 ± 4 h from the last edoxaban dose) blood samples were collected to measure edoxaban concentrations using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. The edoxaban concentrations were compared to those observed in clinical trials to define a higher- or lower-than-expected range. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors associated with high or low edoxaban concentrations. Results: Eighty participants (49 men, 61.3%) were enrolled and provided 78 trough and 76 peak samples. Twenty participants (25.6%) were determined to have low trough concentrations, which was associated with higher creatinine clearance and the use of the 30 mg regimen (odds ratio [OR] and 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.06 [1.01, 1.11], p = 0.01 and 5.77 [1.34, 24.75], p = 0.02, respectively). In contrast, 21 participants (27.6%) had high peak concentrations, which was associated with an off-label overdosing regimen (OR = 4.68 [1.23, 17.70], p = 0.02). Conclusion: Our study identified factors associated with increased or decreased edoxaban exposure. The measurement of edoxaban concentration may be recommended for patients with selected characteristics.
