4 Classical Treatment of DVT/PE ACCP 2012 Guidelines: Three Phases of Anticoagulant Initial (0 to ~7 days) Long-Term (~7 days to ~3–6 months) Extended (~3 – 6 months to indefinite#) Heparin, low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), fondaparinux (rationale is the half life of F2, F9, F10 vs F7 and protein C and S) # Indefinite / long-term is the real decision point † Includes LMWH, dabigatran, rivaroxaban. ACCP=American College of Chest Physicians. Kearon C et al. Chest. 2012;141(2 suppl):e419S-e494S. 123 4 Adapted from Kearon et al. Vitamin K antagonist (VKA) or other agent † Parenteral*

9 Unmet Clinical Needs for DVT/PE Treatment Initial and long-term treatment phases An oral anticoagulant with: – rapid onset (within hours) to eliminate the need for bridging 1 – an improved risk/benefit profile ; similar efficacy with significantly less bleeding compared to standard of care 2 – minimal patient-related inconveniences (eg, routine monitoring, multiple dose adjustments, interactions with drugs or food, and challenges associated with injections ) 1,3 – characteristics that allow more patients to be treated as outpatients, 4 to reduce hospitalization costs and monitoring costs, and to reduce resource utilization compared to standard of care 3,5 1.van Es J et al.

30 Before prescribing, please review full Product Information available with this presentation. For further information please go to www.eliquis.com.au Renal ► In patients with mild or moderate renal impairment, no dose adjustment is necessary ► As there is no clinical experience in patients with renal impairment <15 mL/min or in patients undergoing dialysis, ELIQUIS is contraindicated in these patients. There is limited experience in patients with renal impairment 15 mL to <25 mL/min with increased apixaban exposure, therefore ELIQUIS is also contraindicated in these patients. Hepatic ► ELIQUIS is contraindicated in patients with hepatic disease associated with coagulopathy and clinically relevant bleeding risk, including severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) ► ELIQUIS may be used with caution in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A or B) ► Patients with elevated liver enzymes (ALT/AST >2x ULN) or total bilirubin ≥1.5x ULN were excluded from clinical trials Therefore, ELIQUIS should be used cautiously in this population Prior to initiating ELIQUIS, liver function testing should be performed 30 1.Eliquis Product Information, 20 May 2015, Therapeutic Goods Administration, https://www.ebs.tga.gov.au/https://www.ebs.tga.gov.au/ House keeping !!

31 Guidance for Switching Patients to and From ELIQUIS 1 31 PatientsRecommendation SWITCHING from parenteral anticoagulant or another NOAC to ELIQUIS Discontinue therapy and start ELIQUIS twice daily at the next scheduled dose SWITCHING from warfarin or other VKA to ELIQUIS Discontinue warfarin or other VKA and start ELIQUIS twice daily when INR is <2.0 SWITCHING from ELIQUIS to VKA Continue administration of ELIQUIS for ≥ 2 days after beginning VKA therapy. After 2 days of co-administration of ELIQUIS with VKA therapy, obtain an INR prior to the next scheduled dose of ELIQUIS. Continue co-administration of ELQIUIS and VKA therapy until the INR is ≥ 2.0. ELIQUIS affects INR; therefore, initial INR measurements during the transition to warfarin may not be useful for determining the appropriate dose of warfarin INR=international normalized ratio; NOAC=novel oral anticoagulant; VKA=vitamin K antagonist. 1.Eliquis Product Information, 20 May 2015, Therapeutic Goods Administration, https://www.ebs.tga.gov.au/https://www.ebs.tga.gov.au/ Before prescribing, please review full Product Information available with this presentation.

33 Why Apixaban ? Apart from the fact it works well and has a low bleeding rate Short and oral initiation phase Compliance / forget a tablet ? Less dependent upon renal function PK profile – peaks (bleeding) + troughs (recurrence) “have your cake and eat it to” ? (2.5mg BD)

34 Summary Apixaban is effective in treating acute DVT and PE Bleeding rates are dramatically reduced cf with LMWH/Warfarin, including major bleeding and ICH Patient selection remains important On going treatment with apixaban prevents recurrence With a low cumulative rate of bleeding Long-term therapy with 2.5mg BD appears to have a very low bleed risk whilst maintaining efficacy Thankyou for your attention
