Supports 12-hour enoxaparin-to-edoxaban transition in practice; reinforces trial bridging regimens with RCT pharmacokinetic confirmation.
Does enoxaparin followed 12 hours later by edoxaban alter pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, or safety compared to either drug alone or co-administration in human subjects?
Edoxaban 60 mg can be safely administered 12 hours following enoxaparin 1 mg/kg without significant pharmacokinetic interactions, supporting the transition regimen used in clinical trials.
Matsushima et al. (2012) studied this question.
