Anyone do any reading on the new trial drug Exanta? Claims are made that one can take FIXED doses without the need for frequent testing. Interactions that plague Coumadin are virtually absent with Exanta. Comments?

I have no specific data indicating FDA approval or am privy to how close or how far researchers or manufactuers are to receiving approval,
rather I am simply conveying the "word on the street"....
sheylathomas said:That drug will be approved for the indication of Afib first (likely early-mid 2005), followed by valve replacement likely 1-2 years later.
Many surgeons may use the drug off-label for valve replacement once the Afib indication is approved, however.
Many surgeons are early adopters and like to push the envelope if they feel it safe (or better) therapy than what else is currently available...its very surgeon-specific.
