AMPLIFY Study The mean duration of exposure to ELIQUIS (apixaban) was 154 days and to enoxaparin/ warfarin was 152 days in the AMPLIFY study. Adverse reactions related to bleeding occurred in 417 (15.6%) ELIQUIS-treated patients compared to 661 (24.6%) enoxaparin/ warfarin-treated patients. The discontinuation rate due to bleeding events was 0.7% in the ELIQUIS-treated patients compared to 1.7% in enoxaparin/warfarin-treated patients in the AMPLIFY study. For patients receiving ELIQUIS (apixaban) at a dose of 2.5 mg twice daily, avoid coadministration with strong dual inhibitors of CYP3A4 and P-gp [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) in full Prescribing Information].
