What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Efficacy: Percent Change From Baseline in Anti-fXa Activity at the Nadir (Parts I and II)
In Part I, the primary endpoint was percent change from baseline in anti-fXa activity at the nadir, when nadir was defined as the smaller value for anti-fXa activity at the +2 minutes or +5 minutes time point following the end of the bolus. In Part II, the primary endpoint was the percent change from baseline in anti-fXa activity from its baseline to nadir, when nadir was defined as the smaller value for anti-fXa activity between the 110-minute time point (10 minutes prior to the end of the continuous infusion) and the 5-minute time point after the end of the continuous infusion. The baseline for the primary endpoint in both parts was the anti-fXa activity just prior to administration of andexanet, 3 hours following the Day 4 dose of apixaban. Anti-fXa activity was measured by a modified chromogenic assay.
Measured: Baseline to +2 minutes or +5 minutes following the end of andexanet/placebo bolus (Part I), or 10 minutes prior to end of andexanet/placebo continuous infusion or 5 minutes after the end of andexanet/placebo continuous infusion (Part II)

Secondary outcomes (5)

Efficacy: Percent Change From Baseline in Anti-fXa Activity at the Nadir (Part II)
The percent change from baseline in anti-fXa activity at the nadir, following the bolus, when nadir was defined as the smaller value for anti-fXa activity at the +2 minute or +5 minute time point after the completion of the andexanet bolus (Part II). Baseline was the last assessment obtained prior to the first dose of andexanet or placebo
Measured: Baseline to +2 minutes or +5 minutes following the end of andexanet/placebo bolus (Part II)
Efficacy: Number of Participants With ≥80% Reduction in the Anti-fXa Activity From Baseline to Nadir
Occurrence of ≥80% reduction in anti-fXa activity from its baseline to nadir, when nadir was defined as the smaller value for anti-fXa activity at the +2 minute or +5 minute time point after the completion of the andexanet bolus (Part I) or between the 110-minute time point (10 minutes prior to the end of the continuous infusion) and the 5-minute time point after the end of the continuous infusion (inclusive) [Part II]. Baseline was the last assessment obtained prior to the first dose of andexanet or placebo
Measured: Baseline to +2 minutes or +5 minutes following the end of andexanet/placebo bolus (Part I), or 10 minutes prior to end of andexanet/placebo continuous infusion or 5 minutes after the end of andexanet/placebo continuous infusion (Part II)
Efficacy -Change From Baseline in Free Apixaban Concentration at the Nadir
Change from baseline in free apixaban concentration (ng/mL) at the nadir, when nadir was defined as the smaller value for free apixaban at the +2 minute or +5 minute time point after the completion of the andexanet bolus (Part I) or between the 110-minute time point (10 minutes prior to the end of the continuous infusion) and the 5-minute time point after the end of the continuous infusion (inclusive) [Part II]. Free plasma concentrations of apixaban was determined using a validated method that involved analysis of citrated human plasma with high-throughput equilibrium dialysis followed by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry.
Measured: Baseline to +2 minutes or +5 minutes following the end of andexanet/placebo bolus (Part I), or 10 minutes prior to end of andexanet/placebo continuous infusion or 5 minutes after the end of andexanet/placebo continuous infusion (Part II)
Efficacy: Change in Thrombin Generation (ETP) From Baseline to Its Peak [Parts I and II]
Change in ETP from baseline to its peak, where peak was defined as the largest value for ETP between the +2 minute time point and the +10 minute time point after the end of the andexanet bolus (inclusive) {Part I] or between the 110-minute time point (10 minutes prior to the end of the continuous infusion) and the 5-minute time point after the end of the continuous infusion (inclusive) [Part II]. Baseline was the last assessment obtained prior to the first dose of andexanet or placebo. ETP was measured using a tissue factor-initiated thrombin generation assay.
Measured: Baseline to +2 minutes or +10 minutes following the end of andexanet/placebo bolus (Part I), or 10 minutes prior to end of andexanet/placebo continuous infusion or 5 minutes after the end of andexanet/placebo continuous infusion (Part II)
Efficacy: Number of Participants With Thrombin Generation (ETP) Above the Lower Limit of the Derived Normal Range at Its Peak (mITT Population)
Number of participants with ETP above the lower limit of the normal range at its peak, between the +2 minute time point and the +10 minute time point after the end of the andexanet bolus (inclusive) [Part I] or between the 110-minute time point (10 minutes prior to the end of the continuous infusion) and the 5-minute time point after the end of the continuous infusion (inclusive) [Part II]. ETP was measured using a tissue factor-initiated thrombin generation assay
Measured: Baseline to +2 minutes or +10 minutes following the end of andexanet/placebo bolus (Part I), or 10 minutes prior to end of andexanet/placebo continuous infusion or 5 minutes after the end of andexanet/placebo continuous infusion (Part II)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Andexanet in people with Bleeding, run by Portola Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Sep 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Efficacy: Percent Change From Baseline in Anti-fXa Activity at the Nadir (Parts I and II) (time frame: Baseline to +2 minutes or +5 minutes following the end of andexanet/placebo bolus (Part I), or 10 minutes prior to end of andexanet/placebo continuous infusion or 5 minutes after the end of andexanet/placebo continuous infusion (Part II)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02207725, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Aug 2023.
