ELIQUIS (apixaban) – an oral, direct factor Xa inhibitor - is indicated for:


  • Treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), and prevention of recurrent DVT and PE in adults.1

  • Prevention of Venous Thromboembolic Event (VTE) in adult patients who have undergone elective hip or knee replacement surgery.1

Robust clinical evidence for ELIQUIS in patients with DVT / PE

AMPLIFY Clinical Trial

ELIQUIS demonstrated comparable efficacy with a significant reduction in the risk of major bleeding vs. enoxaparin / warfarin in the treatment of DVT / PE2

AMPLIFY-EXT Clinical Trial

ELIQUIS significantly reduced the risk of recurrent VTE or all-cause death with no significant difference in the rates of major and major / CRNM bleeding vs. placebo for the prevention of recurrent DVT / PE3

Real-World Data

In AMPLIFY, ELIQUIS demonstrated comparable efficacy, with a superior major bleeding profile vs. Enoxaparin / warfarin; this is now complemented by RWD2,4
