Resumo

O tromboembolismo venoso (TEV) constitui ainda um importante problema de saúde pública, pelo seu impacto em termos de morbilidade, mortalidade, consumo de recursos e custos associados. A intervenção farmacológica na prevenção e tratamento da doença está bem definida e é eficaz, mas apresenta alguns inconvenientes, sendo passível de ser melhorada.

Vários novos anticoagulantes orais (ACO) têm vindo a ser desenvolvidos e testados na prevenção e tratamento do tromboembolismo venoso. Os mais estudados são o apixabano, rivaroxabano e edoxabano, inibidores seletivos do fator Xa e o dabigatrano, antagonista da trombina. Todos são administrado por via oral, não têm grande interação com os alimentos ou outras drogas, têm posologia cómoda e em doses fixas, bem como ação previsível, não obrigando, por isso, a monitorização do seu efeito anticoagulante. A maioria deles têm estudos de fase III concluídos e publicados. Alguns estão já aprovados pelas agências europeia e norte-americana do medicamento e recomendados nas guidelines internacionais. O rivaroxabano está já aprovado pela Agência Europeia do Medicamento (EMA) para o tratamento da TVP e a prevenção da recorrência da TVP e EP. Neste artigo, faz-se a revisão da evidência existente, discute-se o lugar dos novos ACO e apontam-se as perspetivas futuras quanto à prevenção e tratamento do TEV.

Abstract

Venous tromboembolism (VTE) is still an important problem of Public Health, due to its impact in terms of morbidity, mortality, resource allocation and associated costs. In the prevention and treatment of VTE, pharmacological therapy is well defined and efficacious but has some inconveniences that leave space for improvement. Several new oral anticoagulants are being developed and tested for the prevention and treatment of VTE. The better studied are the selective Factor Xa inhibitors apixaban, rivaroxaban and edoxaban, and the thrombin antagonist dabigatran. They all are orally administrated, don’t have important interactions with food or other drugs, have a convenient fixed-dose regimen and a predictable action, and dispense routine monitoring of their anticoagulant effect. The major part of them has phase III studies concluded and published. Some of them are already approved by de European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and recommended by the international guidelines. Rivaroxaban is approved by the EMA for the treatment of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and for the prevention of recurrences of DVT and pulmonary embolism. In this article the available evidences are reviewed, the place of the new oral anticoagulants is discussed and future perspectives regarding the prevention and treatment of VTE are outlined.
