New blood thinner Exanta could replace warfarin
Exanta, a new blood thinner from AstraZeneca, shows equal or better clot prevention than warfarin in 17,000 patients across tests. It works faster, avoids routine blood testing, and reduced knee replacement clot risk by about 25 percent while lowering long-term clot risk in patients with prior leg or lung clots. AstraZeneca seeks EU approval and plans U.S. submission this year. Dr. Sam Schulman of Karolinska Hospital notes potential to replace warfarin in many cases.
