Automated Thrombin Generation Assay for Rivaroxaban, Apixaban, and Edoxaban Measurements.

The thrombin generation assay (TG) is a promising approach to measure the degree of anticoagulation in patients treated with direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC). A strong association with plasma drug concentrations would be a meaningful argument for the potential use to monitor DOAC. We aimed to study the correlation of TG with rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban drug concentrations in a large, prospective multicenter cross-sectional study.
