Summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hemostatic efficacy of andexanet alfa (andexanet) in participants receiving a factor Xa (FXa) inhibitor (apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban, enoxaparin) who were experiencing an acute major bleed. The safety of andexanet was also studied.

Eligibility Criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria

  • Acute major bleeding episode that required urgent reversal of anticoagulation; defined by at least one of the following:
  • Acute bleeding that was potentially life-threatening, or
  • Acute bleeding associated with a fall in hemoglobin level by ≥2 grams/deciliter (g/dL), or
  • Acute bleeding associated with a hemoglobin level of ≤8 g/dL if no baseline hemoglobin was available, or
  • Acute bleeding in a critical area or organ such as intraspinal, pericardial, or intracranial.
  • If bleeding was intracranial or intraspinal, the participant must have undergone a head computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan demonstrating the bleeding.
  • Participant received or was believed to have received one of the following within 18 hours prior to andexanet administration: apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban, or enoxaparin.
  • For participants with intracranial bleeding, there must be a reasonable expectation that andexanet treatment will commence within 2 hours of the baseline imaging evaluation.

Key Exclusion Criteria

  • The participant was scheduled to undergo surgery in less than 12 hours, with the exception of minimally invasive surgery/procedures.
  • Participant with an intracerebral hemorrhage that had any of the following:
  • Glasgow coma score 60 cubic centimeters as assessed by CT or MRI
  • Participants with visible, musculoskeletal or intra-articular bleeding as their qualifying bleed.
  • Expected survival of less than 1 month.
  • Recent history (within 2 weeks) of a diagnosed thrombotic event as follows: venous thromboembolism, myocardial infarction, disseminated intravascular coagulation, cerebral vascular accident, transient ischemic attack, unstable angina pectoris hospitalization or severe peripheral vascular disease within 2 weeks prior to Screening.
  • Severe sepsis or septic shock at the time of Screening.
  • Pregnant or a lactating female.
  • Participant received any of the following drugs or blood products within 7 days of Screening:
  • Vitamin K antagonist
  • Dabigatran
  • Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (PCC) products or recombinant factor VIIa (rfVIIa)
  • Whole blood, plasma fractions
  • Treated with an investigational drug <30 days prior to Screening.
  • Planned administration of PCC, fresh frozen plasma or rfVIIa from Screening until within 12 hours after the end of the andexanet infusion.
