Ciraparantag reverses the anticoagulant activity of apixaban and rivaroxaban in healthy elderly subjects.
European Heart Journal 2022 March 8
AIMS: Ciraparantag is a reversal agent for anticoagulants including direct oral anticoagulants. The aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ciraparantag to reverse anticoagulation induced by apixaban or rivaroxaban in healthy elderly adults.
METHODS AND RESULTS: Two randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging trials conducted in healthy subjects aged 50-75 years. Subjects received apixaban (Study 1) 10 mg orally twice daily for 3.5 days or rivaroxaban (Study 2) 20 mg orally once daily for 3 days. At steady-state anticoagulation subjects were randomized 3:1 to a single intravenous dose of ciraparantag (Study 1: 30, 60, or 120 mg; Study 2: 30, 60, 120, or 180 mg) or placebo. Efficacy was based on correction of the whole blood clotting time (WBCT) at multiple timepoints over 24 h. Subjects and technicians performing WBCT testing were blinded to treatment. Complete reversal of WBCT within 1 h post-dose and sustained through 5 h (apixaban) or 6 h (rivaroxaban) was dose related and observed with apixaban in 67%, 100%, 100%, and 17% of subjects receiving ciraparantag 30 mg, 60 mg, 120 mg, or placebo, respectively; and with rivaroxaban in 58%, 75%, 67%, 100%, and 13% of subjects receiving ciraparantag 30 mg, 60 mg, 120 mg, 180 mg, or placebo, respectively. Adverse events related to ciraparantag were mild, transient hot flashes or flushing.
CONCLUSIONS: Ciraparantag provides a dose-related reversal of anticoagulation induced by steady-state dosing of apixaban or rivaroxaban. Sustained reversal was achieved with 60 mg ciraparantag for apixaban and 180 mg ciraparantag for rivaroxaban. All doses of ciraparantag were well tolerated.
