Summary of trials for anticoagulant reversal and haemorrhage treatment

TrialAnticoagulantAnticoagulant reversalPrimary endpointResults
INCH25 VKAPCC, FFPPercentage of patients with INR <1.3 within 3 hours of treatmentPCC (vs FFP) had a higher rate of INR reversal
UPRATE42–44 Rivaroxaban, apixaban4F-PCCHaemostasis rate4F-PCC reverses apixaban and rivaroxaban associated bleeding
REVERSE-AD43 DabigatranIdarucizumabPercentage reversal at 4 hoursIdarucizumab reverses the effect of dabigatran for most patients (93%) within minutes
ANNEXA-444 Rivaroxaban, apixabanAndexanet alfaChange in anti-Xa activity at 12 hours80% of those with DOAC associated ICH achieved excellent or good haemostasis 12 hours after andexanet alfa
SPOTLIGHT and STOP-IT46 rFVIIaParenchymal ICH volume expansion on head CT at 24 hoursrFVIIa does not improve radiographic findings
  • DOAC, direct-acting oral anticoagulant; FFP, fresh frozen plasma; ICH, intracerebral haemorrhage; INR, international normalised ratio; PCC, prothrombin complex concentrate; VKA, vitamin K antagonist.
