Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The impact of pancreaticoduodenectomy on absorption of drugs in the duodenum remains largely unknown. We aim to characterize the pharmacokinetics of apixaban in patients who had previously undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: A single 10-mg dose of apixaban was administered to 4 volunteers who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at least 6 months prior. The maximum plasma apixaban concentration (C

RESULTS: In pancreaticoduodenectomy patients, AUC

CONCLUSION: The pharmacokinetic characteristics of apixaban in subjects who had undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy are not significantly different from those of healthy controls. Though the sample size of this study is small, results suggest that no change to apixaban dose regimen is needed in patients who have had a pancreaticoduodenectomy.
