Abstract

BACKGROUND: Renal function is a critical factor of ischaemic and bleeding risks in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) receiving antithrombotic therapy. AIMS: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of renal dysfunction in patients with AF and stable coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing antithrombotic therapy. METHODS: The Edoxaban Versus Edoxaban With antiPlatelet Agent In Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Chronic Stable Coronary Artery Disease (EPIC-CAD) trial randomised patients to edoxaban monotherapy or dual antithrombotic therapy (edoxaban plus a single antiplatelet agent). In this prespecified analysis, patients were stratified by creatinine clearance into low (<50 mL/min) or high (>= 50 mL/min) groups according to edoxaban dose-reduction criteria. The primary endpoint was net adverse clinical events (NACE: death from any cause, myocardial infarction, stroke, systemic embolism, urgent revascularisation, or major/clinically relevant non-major bleeding) at 12 months. RESULTS: Of 1,040 randomised patients, 252 (24.2%) had low creatinine clearance; these patients were older and had more comorbidities compared with the 788 patients (75.8%) with high creatinine clearance. Patients with low creatinine clearance experienced higher risks of NACE (hazard ratio [HR] 1.72, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.19-2.49; p=0.004), ischaemic events (HR 2.70, 95% CI: 1.09-6.70; p=0.032), and bleeding (HR 1.54, 95% CI: 1.01-2.34; p=0.046). At 12 months, edoxaban monotherapy reduced NACE compared with dual therapy in both the low (12.1% vs 21.7%, HR 0.52, 95% CI: 0.28-0.98; p=0.042) and high creatinine clearance groups (5.2% vs 14.5%, HR 0.40, 95% CI: 0.25-0.65; p<0.001), with no interaction (p for interaction=0.53). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with AF and stable CAD, edoxaban monotherapy led to a lower risk of primary NACE than dual antithrombotic therapy, regardless of renal function.
