Pfizer Inc. Research Report
On June 30, 2013, Pfizer Inc. (Pfizer) and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company announced the results of the six-month Phase III AMPLIFY trial of 5,395 patients with acute venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes symptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and/or pulmonary embolism (PE). Pfizer reported that the single-agent Eliquis achieved the primary efficacy endpoint of non-inferiority to current standard of care (initial parenteral enoxaparin treatment overlapped with warfarin therapy) in the reduction of the composite endpoint of recurrent symptomatic VTE or VTE-related death. "The study results showed that apixaban, as a single-agent, has comparable efficacy with significantly fewer major bleeding events with respect to the standard of care. These results complement the previously published results for the AMPLIFY-EXT study," said Dr. Giancarlo Agnelli, Professor of Internal Medicine, University of Perugia, Italy; Director of the Department of Internal and Cardiovascular Medicine and Stroke-Unit, University Hospital, Perugia, Italy; and Lead Investigator of the study. "Together these studies represent exciting data in the field of VTE treatment and indicate that apixaban may offer an important potential alternative in both acute and extended anticoagulation therapy for VTE patients."
