Abstract
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of the use of apixaban in patients with a creatinine clearance (CrCl) of < 15 ml/minute or in those receiving dialysis is based only on pharmacokinetic data as clinical trials of apixaban excluded patients with a CrCl of < 25 ml/minute or a serum creatinine concentration (SCr) of > 2.5 mg/dl. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of apixaban versus warfarin in patients with severe renal impairment.
