Summary of Clinical Use Click here for help
Ximelagatran is a prodrug, that is metabolised in the liver to generate a direct thrombin inhibitor. It was investigated as an orally administered prophylactic for deep venous thrombosis, prevention of secondary venous thromboembolism and complications of atrial fibrillation, as a replacement for warfarin. Ximelagatran did receive marketing authorisation in several countries (Germany, Portugal, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Austria, Denmark, France, Switzerland, Argentina and Brazil), but the drug was later discontinued by AstraZeneca due to the risk of hepatotoxicity. The FDA informed AstraZeneca that they would not approve ximelagatran in 2004.
