Andexanet alfa
FDA approved in May 2018, limited availability June 2018
- Cost is $20,000 to $55,000 per dose
- Trial that led to FDA approval does not have the most sound evidence behind it [4]:
- Prospective single center single group study of 352 patients receiving a Factor Xa Inhibitor (apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban, enoxaparin) with life threatening bleed (those with expected survival <1 month were excluded).
- Anti-Factor Xa activity was decreased in all groups. 82% were judged to have excellent hemostatic control. 14% mortality rate at 30 days.
- No comparison group available. It is unlikely that following anti-Factor Xa activity as a lab value is clinically important. High mortality rate even after excluding sick patients.
Low Dose
400 mg IV bolus at rate of ~30 mg/minute, followed 2 minutes later by 4 mg/minute for up to 120 minutes
High Dose
800 mg IV bolus at rate of ~30 mg/minute, followed 2 minutes later by 8 mg/minute for up to 120 minutes
