E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Two Primary Objectives:
1. To demonstrate the decrease in anti-fXa activity following andexanet treatment.
The study will be considered to have met the first primary efficacy objective if there is a statistically significant (p<0.05) percent decrease in anti-fXa activity from the pre-treatment baseline to the evaluation period nadir (where the evaluation period starts 5 minutes following the end of the andexanet bolus and ends just prior to the end of the andexanet infusion).
2. To evaluate the haemostatic efficacy of andexanet in patients receiving a fXa inhibitor who have acute major bleeding and reduced fXa activity.
The study will be considered to have met the second primary efficacy objective if the proportion of patients with excellent or good haemostasis (as adjudicated by the independent Endpoint Adjudication Committeeis statistically significantly higher than 50% (p<0.05). |
1. Démontrer la diminution de l’activité anti-fXa après le traitement par andexanet. L’étude sera considérée comme ayant atteint le premier objectif principal d’efficacité si une diminution statistiquement significative en pourcentage (p < 0,05) de l’activité anti-fXa est observée entre l’évaluation initiale avant traitement et le creux de la période d’évaluation (où la période d’évaluation commence 5 minutes après la fin du bolus d’andexanet et se termine juste avant la fin de la perfusion d’andexanet).
2. Évaluer l’efficacité hémostatique de l’andexanet chez les patients recevant un inhibiteur du fXa qui présentent une hémorragie aiguë majeure et une activité du fXa réduite.
L’étude sera considérée comme ayant atteint le second objectif principal d’efficacité si la proportion de patients présentant une hémostase excellente ou bonne (telle qu’évaluée par le EAC) est de façon statistiquement significative supérieure à 50 % (p < 0,05).
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary Objectives:
To assess the relationship between decrease in anti-fXa activity and achievement of haemostatic efficacy in patients receiving a fXa inhibitor who have acute major bleeding and reduced fXa activity.
Exploratory Objectives:
• For patients receiving apixaban, edoxaban or rivaroxaban, to evaluate the decrease in the free fraction of the fXa inhibitor following andexanet treatment.
• To evaluate the use of red blood cell transfusions.
• To evaluate the use of other blood products and haemostatic agents.
Safety Objectives:
• To evaluate the overall safety of andexanet, including adjudicated thrombotic events (TEs) and antibodies to fX, fXa, and andexanet
• To evaluate the 30-day all-cause mortality |
Objectif secondaire d’efficacité:
Évaluer le lien entre une diminution de l’activité anti-fXa et l’obtention d’une efficacité hémostatique chez les patients recevant un inhibiteur du fXa qui présentent une hémorragie aiguë majeure et une activité du fXa réduite.
Objectifs exploratoires:
• Pour les patients recevant l’apixaban, l’edoxaban ou le rivaroxaban, évaluer la diminution de la fraction libre de l’inhibiteur du fXa après le traitement par andexanet
• Évaluer l’utilisation de transfusions de globules rouges
• Évaluer l’utilisation d’autres produits sanguins et agents hémostatiques

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The two primary endpoints are:
1)The percent change from baseline (pre-treatment with andexanet) in anti-fXa activity to the nadir from the evaluation period (where the evaluation period starts 5 minutes following the end of the andexanet bolus and ends just prior to the end of the andexanet infusion).
AND
2) The achievement of haemostatic efficacy of stopping an ongoing major bleed at 12 hours from the end of the andexanet infusion, rated by the independent EAC as excellent or good.
Haemostatic efficacy will be determined by the independent EAC as excellent, good, or poor/none, based on pre-specified definitions. These three categories will be collapsed to two categories for analysis (excellent/good vs. poor/none). |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Patients receive andexanet as an IV bolus administered over ~15–30 minutes, followed immediately by a continuous infusion administered over ~120 minutes.
Primary endpoint 1:
Sample for anti-fXa activity is drawn at 2 timepoints; one at (or within 30 minutes after) the end of the bolus, and another at (or within 30 minutes prior to) the end of the infusion.
Primary Endpoint 2:
Haemostatic efficacy: Evaluated through 12 hours from the end of the infusion with the following assessments: Visible, muscular, and skeletal bleeding evaluated at 1, 4, 8, and 12 hours following the end of infusion. ICH evaluated at 1 and 12 hours following the end of infusion. Haemoglobin and haematocrit will be measured during the infusion and at 1, 4, 8, and 12 hours following the end of infusion.
