Background We studied the concomitant use of single antiplatelet therapy ( SAPT ) on the efficacy and safety of the anti‐Xa agent edoxaban in patients with atrial fibrillation ( AF ). Methods and Results ENGAGE AFTIMI 48 was a randomized trial that compared 2 dose regimens of edoxaban with warfarin. We studied both the approved higher‐dose edoxaban regimen ( HDER ; 60 mg daily reduced by one half in patients with anticipated increased drug exposure), as well as a lower‐dose edoxaban regimen ( LDER ; 30 mg daily, also reduced by one half in patients with anticipated increased drug regimen). SAPT (aspirin in 92.5%) was administered at the discretion of the treating physician. Cox proportional hazard regressions stratified by SAPT at 3 months with treatment as a covariate were performed. The 4912 patients who received SAPT were more frequently male, with histories of coronary artery disease and diabetes, and had higher CHADS 2 Vasc and HAS BLED scores than did the 14 997 patients not receiving SAPT . When compared to patients not receiving SAPT , those receiving SAPT had a higher incidence of major bleeding; (adjusted hazard ratio [ HR adj ]=1.46; 95% CI , 1.27–1.67, P <0.001). SAPT did not alter the relative efficacy of edoxaban compared to warfarin in preventing stroke or systemic embolic events ( SEEs ): edoxaban versus warfarin without SAPT , hazard ratio ( HR adj for HDER )=0.94; (95% CI : 0.77–1.15) with SAPT , HR adj =0.70 (95% CI : 0.50–0.98), P interaction ( P int )=0.14. ( HR adj for LDER versus warfarin without SAPT =1.19 (95% CI 0.99–1.43) With SAPT , 1.03 (95% CI , 0.76–1.39) P int =0.42. Major bleeding was lower with edoxaban than warfarin both without SAPT , HR adj for HDER =0.80 (95% CI , 0.68–0.95), and with SAPT , HR adj =0.82 (95% CI , 0.65–1.03; P int =0.91). For LDER without SAPT ( HR adj =0.56 [95% CI 0.46–0.67]) and with SAPT ( HR adj =0.51 [95% CI 0.39–0.66]), P int =0.59. Conclusions Patients with AF who were selected by their physicians to receive SAPT in addition to an anticoagulant had a similar risk of stroke/ SEE and higher rates of bleeding than those not receiving SAPT . Edoxaban exhibited similar relative efficacy and reduced bleeding compared to warfarin, with or without concomitant SAPT . Clinical Trial Registration URL : http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ .
