This review article summarizes pharmacological characteristics of these novel antidotes, coagulation's tests affected, available clinical and preclinical data, and the need for phase III and IV studies.ĪNNEXA-A ANNEXA-R Andexanet alfa Antidote Apixaban DOAC Dabigatran Edoxaban Idarucizumab NOAC Praxbind Rivaroxaban.Ĭopyright © 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. Aripazine (PER-977), the third reversal agent, has shown promising activity against dabigatran, apixaban, rivaroxaban, as well as subcutaneous fondaparinux and LMWH. Warfarin (Coumadin) overdose is treated with vitamin K or phytonadione. It is currently being studied in ANNEXA-4, a phase IV study. Naloxone (Narcan) is the antidote for narcotics, such as morphine, dilaudid. Andexanet alfa (PRT064445), a specific reversal agent against factor Xa inhibitors, showed a complete reversal of anticoagulant activity of apixaban and rivaroxaban within minutes after administration without adverse effects in two recently completed parallel phase III trials ANNEXA-A and ANNEXA-R respectively. Administer an initial dose of Vitamin K1. However, the onset of vitamin K is not immediate. Warfarin is a relatively short-acting rodenticide, and treatment for a total of 1 week usually is adequate. A dose of vitamin K is used to reverse the action of warfarin (Coumadin), a blood thinner used routinely for more than half a century and, until recently, the only such option for most people. A phase III trial on Idarucizumab also complete reversal of anticoagulant effect of dabigatran. The pharmacologic action of warfarin can be reversed by vitamin K and fresh frozen plasma. Another newer blood thinner dabigatran (Pradaxa) already has an approved antidote called idarucizumab (Praxbind). It comprehensively reversed dabigatran-induced anticoagulation in a phase I study. Warfarin may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide. Warfarin is used to treat or prevent blood clots in veins or arteries, which can reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, or other serious conditions. Warfarin reduces the formation of blood clots. Idarucizumab, the first novel antidote against direct thrombin inhibitor dabigatran was approved by US FDA in October 2015. Warfarin is an anticoagulant (blood thinner). Activated charcoal, hemodialysis, and activated Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (PCC) were amongst the nonspecific agents used in a DOAC associated bleeding but with limited success. However, the biggest drawback of DOACs has been the lack of specific antidotes to reverse the anticoagulant effect in emergency situations. significant bleeding and need for future warfarin therapy. FFP (fresh frozen plasma) Choice and dose is dependent on the clinical problem-no bleeding vs. DOACs have many advantages over warfarin. Antidotes: Vitamin K (phytonadione) Kcentra. Direct thrombin inhibitor: dabigatran and factor Xa inhibitors: apixaban, rivaroxaban, and edoxaban directly inhibit the coagulation cascade. The Vitamin K antagonist warfarin was the only oral anticoagulant available for decades for the treatment of thrombosis and prevention of thromboembolism until Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) a group of new oral anticoagulants got approved in the last few years.
