About this study

Official title: A Randomized Study of Andexanet Alfa Compared to Usual Care in Patients Receiving a Factor Xa Inhibitor Who Require Urgent Surgery or Procedure (ANNEXA-RS)

The study will aim to find out if the drug andexanet alfa is safe and effective in preventing major bleeding during urgent surgery or invasive procedures. The study will compare the use of andexanet alfa to the usual care given at the study center.

Read the detailed description

This study will be an open-label, randomised, controlled, prospective, multicenter study. The study will include patients requiring urgent surgery or procedure that needs to be performed within 15 hours of the last dose of blood-thinning drug (direct oral activated Factor X (FXa) inhibitor).

The study will comprise of the following periods:

  • Screening, followed by surgery or procedure and study intervention.
  • Follow-up period: there will be four follow-up visits over a duration of approximately 30 days.
  • Follow-up visit for patients with positive anti-andexanet alfa antibody test: patients with a positive anti-andexanet alfa antibody response at day 30 will have a follow-up anti-andexanet alfa antibody test approximately 120 days post-surgery or procedure.

Patients will be randomised in the ratio of 1:1 to receive either andexanet alfa or usual care.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Andexanet alfaDrug

    Also called Andexxa®, Ondexxya®

    Andexanet is a recombinant version of human FXa

  • Usual CareDrug

    As per the label of the chosen usual care product(s) and/or usual care standards.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients achieving effective intraoperative hemostasis

    Intraoperative hemostasis will be assessed according to the categories as per 4-point hemostasis scale: Excellent - Normal hemostasis, Good - Mildly abnormal hemostasis (eg. slight oozing from surgical wounds), Moderate - Moderate abnormality in intraprocedural hemostasis (eg. controllable bleeding), Poor - Severe hemostatic abnormality (eg. severe refractory hemorrhage). Hemostasis will be considered to be effective if the intraoperative hemostasis category is 'excellent' or 'good', and ineffective if the intraoperative hemostasis category is 'moderate' or 'poor'.

    Measured: From start to the end of surgery or procedure on Day 0

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change from Baseline in anti-FXa activity measured through blood samples

    The ability of andexanet alfa to rapidly reverse the anticoagulation effect of FXa inhibitors by reduction of anti-FXa activity when compared to usual care.

    Measured: Baseline to start of surgery or procedure

  2. Change from Baseline in anti-FXa activity measured through blood samples

    The ability of andexanet alfa to sustainably reverse the anticoagulation effect of FXa inhibitors by reduction of anti-FXa activity when compared to usual care at two hours post start of surgery or procedure will be assessed.

    Measured: Baseline to two hours post start of surgery or procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Andexanet alfa in people with Urgent Surgery, run by AstraZeneca.

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 6 inclusion and 12 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Number of patients achieving effective intraoperative hemostasis (time frame: From start to the end of surgery or procedure on Day 0). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 26 Oct 2024.
