The worldwide EINSTEIN DVT and EINSTEIN PE studies randomized 8282 patients with acute symptomatic deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) and/or pulmonary embolism (PE) and, for the first time in trials in this setting, included patients in China. This analysis evaluates the results of these studies in this subgroup of patients.
A total of 439 Chinese patients who had acute symptomatic DVT (n=211), or PE with or without DVT (n=228), were randomized to receive rivaroxaban (15 mg twice daily for 21 days, followed by 20 mg once daily) or standard therapy of enoxaparin overlapping with and followed by an adjusted-dose vitamin K antagonist, for 3, 6, or 12 months. The primary efficacy outcome was symptomatic recurrent venous thromboembolism. The principal safety outcome was major or non-major clinically relevant bleeding.
The primary efficacy outcome occurred in seven (3.2%) of the 220 patients in the rivaroxaban group and in seven (3.2%) of the 219 patients in the standard-therapy group (hazard ratio, 1.04; 95% confidence interval 0.36-3.0; p=0.94). The principal safety outcome occurred in 13 (5.9%) patients in the rivaroxaban group and in 20 (9.2%) patients in the standard-therapy group (hazard ratio, 0.63; 95% confidence interval 0.31-1.26; p=0.19). Major bleeding was observed in no patients in the rivaroxaban group and in five (2.3%) patients in the standard-therapy group. In fragile patients (defined as age >75 years, creatinine clearance <50 mL/min, and/or body weight ≤50 kg), the principal safety outcome occurred in four (8.9%) of the 45 patients who received rivaroxaban compared with seven (15.2%) of the 46 patients who received standard therapy.
In Chinese patients with acute symptomatic DVT and/or PE, rivaroxaban was as efficacious as enoxaparin followed by vitamin K antagonist therapy, with a similar safety profile. The relative efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban compared with enoxaparin/vitamin K antagonist were consistent with that found in the rest of the world.

全球 EINSTEIN DVT 和 EINSTEIN PE 研究纳入了 8282 例急性有症状深静脉血栓形成(DVT)和/或肺栓塞(PE)患者,这是首次在该领域的试验中纳入中国患者。本分析评估了这些研究在这一亚组患者中的结果。
共有 439 例中国急性有症状 DVT(n=211)或 PE 伴或不伴 DVT(n=228)患者被随机分配接受利伐沙班(15mg 每日 2 次,共 21 天,随后 20mg 每日 1 次)或依诺肝素重叠治疗,随后调整剂量的维生素 K 拮抗剂治疗 3、6 或 12 个月。主要疗效终点是有症状的复发性静脉血栓栓塞症。主要安全性终点是大出血或非大出血临床相关出血。
利伐沙班组 220 例患者中有 7 例(3.2%)发生主要疗效终点事件,标准治疗组 219 例患者中有 7 例(3.2%)发生(风险比,1.04;95%置信区间 0.36-3.0;p=0.94)。利伐沙班组 13 例(5.9%)患者和标准治疗组 20 例(9.2%)患者发生主要安全性终点事件(风险比,0.63;95%置信区间 0.31-1.26;p=0.19)。利伐沙班组无大出血患者,标准治疗组有 5 例(2.3%)患者发生大出血。在脆弱患者(定义为年龄>75 岁、肌酐清除率<50ml/min 和/或体重≤50kg)中,利伐沙班组 45 例患者中有 4 例(8.9%)发生主要安全性终点事件,标准治疗组 46 例患者中有 7 例(15.2%)发生(风险比,0.89;95%置信区间 0.40-1.97;p=0.78)。
在中国急性有症状 DVT 和/或 PE 患者中,利伐沙班与依诺肝素联合维生素 K 拮抗剂治疗的疗效相当,安全性相似。与依诺肝素/维生素 K 拮抗剂相比,利伐沙班的相对疗效和安全性与全球其他地区一致。
