ADVANCE-2​

ADVANCE-3

ADVANCE-2: A study of Venous Thromboembolism prevention in patients undergoing  elective TKR3
*Total Venous Thromboembolism/all-cause death: composite of asymptomatic and symptomatic Venous Thromboembolism, non-fatal PE and all-cause death.3

†Major VTE: composite of asymptomatic and symptomatic proximal DVT, non-fatal PE and Venous Thromboembolism-related death.3

Inclusion criteria:3 ​

Patients were eligible for inclusion if they were scheduled to undergo  unilateral elective total knee replacement or same-day bilateral knee replacement, including revision. ​

​Key exclusion criteria:3

Key exclusion criteria included the following: ​

  • Active bleeding ​
  • Contraindication to anticoagulant prophylaxis ​
  • Need for ongoing anticoagulant or antiplatelet treatment ​
  • Uncontrolled hypertension ​
  • Active hepato-biliary disease ​
  • Impaired renal function ​
  • Thrombocytopenia ​
  • Anemia ​
  • Heparin allergy ​
  • Allergy to radiographic contrast dye ​
  • Other disorders preventing venography 
Eliquis® was comparable to enoxaparin across three bleeding outcomes3
Adapted from Lassen MR, et al. Lancet. 2010.
12 patients in the apixaban group and 16 in the enoxaparin group had major or clinically relevant non-major bleeding events that occurred before the first postsurgery dose of study drug.3

§Seven patients in the apixaban group and 11 in the enoxaparin group had clinically relevant non-major bleeding events that occurred before the first postsurgery dose of study drug.3

ǁFive patients in the apixaban group and five in the enoxaparin group had major bleeding events that occurred before the first postsurgery dose of study drug.3
In ADVANCE-2, a multicentre, randomised, double-blind phase III study, patients undergoing elective unilateral or bilateral TKR were randomly allocated through an interactive central telephone system to receive oral apixaban 2.5 mg BID (n=1,528) or SC enoxaparin 40 mg once daily. Apixaban was started 12–24 hours after wound closure and enoxaparin 12 hours before surgery; both drugs were continued for 10-14 days, when bilateral ascending venography was scheduled. Primary outcome was the composite of asymptomatic and symptomatic DVT, non-fatal PE, and all-cause death during treatment.3
Major bleeding3:

Acute, clinically overt bleeding accompanied by at least one of the following criteria: ​
  • A decrease in haemoglobin of 2 g/dL or more over a 24-hour period ​
  • Transfusion of 2 or more units of packed red blood cells ​
  • Bleeding occurring in one or more critical sites (intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular, pericardial or retroperitoneal) ​
  • Bleeding into the operated joint needing re-operation or intervention ​
  • Intramuscular bleeding with compartment syndrome ​
  • Fatal bleeding 
CRNM bleeding3:

Acute, clinically overt bleeding that does not satisfy criteria for major bleeding and meets at least one of the following criteria: ​
  • Wound haematoma ​
  • Bruising or ecchymosis ​
  • GI bleeding ​
  • Haemoptysis ​
  • Haematuria ​
  • Epistaxis

Eliquis® was comparable to enoxaparin across three bleeding outcomes3
Adapted from Lassen MR, et al. Lancet. 2010.
Major bleeding3 :

Major bleeding was defined as acute clinically overt bleeding accompanied by one or  more of the following: a decrease in blood haemoglobin concentration of 2 g/dL or more during 24 hours; transfusion of two or more units of packed red blood cells; bleeding occurring in equal or more than critical sites (including intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular, pericardial or retroperitoneal bleeding); bleeding into the operated joint needing  reoperation or intervention; intramuscular bleeding with compartment syndrome; or fatal bleeding.
Clinically relevant non-major (CRNM) bleeding3 :​

Doesn't satisfy criteria for major bleeding and meets at least one of the following: wound haematoma, bruising or ecchymosis, GI bleeding, haemoptysis, haematuria or epistaxis that did not meet criteria for major efficacy outcome for non-inferiority using a prespecified margin in which the upper limit of the 95% CI for RR should not exceed 1.5, and if this occurred to then test for superiority. ​
ADVANCE-3: Apixaban versus Enoxaparin for Thromboprophylaxis after Hip Replacement; BID: twice daily; CI: confidence interval; CRNM: clinically relevant non-major bleeding; DVT: deep-vein thrombosis; GI: gastrointestinal; NS: non-significant; PE: pulmonary embolism; QD: once daily; RR: relative risk; SC: subcutaneous; THR: total hip replacement; VTE: venous  thromboembolism. ​
