IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR ANDEXXA®


(coagulation factor Xa [recombinant], inactivated-zhzo)
WARNING: THROMBOEMBOLIC RISKS, ISCHEMIC RISKS, CARDIAC ARREST, AND SUDDEN DEATHS
Treatment with ANDEXXA has been associated with serious and life-threatening adverse events, including:
• Arterial and venous thromboembolic events
• Ischemic events, including myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke
• Cardiac arrest
• Sudden deaths
Monitor for thromboembolic events and initiate anticoagulation when medically appropriate. Monitor for
symptoms and signs that precede cardiac arrest and provide treatment as needed.

INDICATION
ANDEXXA® (coagulation factor Xa [recombinant], inactivated-zhzo) is a recombinant modified human factor Xa
(FXa) protein indicated for patients treated with rivaroxaban or apixaban, when reversal of anticoagulation is
needed due to life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding.
This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on the change from baseline in anti-FXa
activity in healthy volunteers. An improvement in hemostasis has not been established. Continued approval
for this indication may be contingent upon the results of studies that demonstrate an improvement in
hemostasis in patients.
Limitations of Use
ANDEXXA has not been shown to be effective for, and is not indicated for, the treatment of bleeding related to
any FXa inhibitors other than apixaban or rivaroxaban.

PART 1: Disease Description

Direct FXa Inhibitors and the Coagulation Cascade


Apixaban and rivaroxaban are direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) that selectively inhibit factor Xa (FXa),
thus reducing thrombin formation and preventing the formation of fibrin clots.1,2 FXa plays a central role in the
cascade of blood coagulation (Figure 1).3

Clinical Burden and Unmet Need


Treatment with FXa inhibitors has potential for major bleeding events associated with a substantial burden,
including high morbidity and mortality.5 In 2 large, randomized, controlled studies of patients with nonvalvular
atrial fibrillation (NVAF) taking apixaban or rivaroxaban, 4% and 6% of patients experienced a major bleed,
respectively.6,7 ARISTOTLE was a double-blind, double-dummy, randomized clinical trial comparing apixaban
with warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation (N=18,201).6 Major bleeding events reported were 12% ICH, 24%
GI-related, and 64% at other sites.6 ROCKET-AF was a multinational, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy
clinical trial comparing rivaroxaban with warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation (N=14,264).7 Major bleeding
events reported were 14% ICH, 57% GI-related, and 29% at other sites.7 A high mortality risk is associated with
FXa inhibitor–related ICH, with a 30-day mortality rate observed in 45% of patients in the ARISTOTLE trial and an
all-cause mortality rate observed in 48% of patients in the ROCKET-AF trial.8,9
The number of FXa inhibitor–related bleeds continues to increase as FXa inhibitor use grows, resulting in
approximately 190,000 hospitalizations in apixaban- and rivaroxaban-treated patients from October 1, 2018, to
September 30, 2019.10
The use of FXa inhibitors is expected to continue to increase as the US population ages.11,12 As such, there is a
growing unmet need for the availability of agents used to rapidly reverse anticoagulant activity.11,12

PART 2: Product Information

Indication and Mechanism of Action


Indication and usage13
ANDEXXA® (coagulation factor Xa (recombinant), inactivated-zhzo) is a recombinant modified human
FXa protein indicated for patients treated with apixaban or rivaroxaban, when reversal of anticoagulation
is needed due to life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding.
This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on the change from baseline in anti-FXa
activity in healthy volunteers. An improvement in hemostasis has not been established.
Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon the results of studies to demonstrate an
improvement in hemostasis in patients.

Limitations of use13
ANDEXXA has not been shown to be effective for, and is not indicated for, the treatment of bleeding related
to any FXa inhibitors other than apixaban and rivaroxaban.

Mechanism of action13
ANDEXXA exerts its procoagulant effect by binding and sequestering the FXa inhibitors apixaban and
rivaroxaban. Another observed procoagulant effect of the ANDEXXA protein is its ability to bind to and inhibit
the activity of tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI). Inhibition of TFPI activity can increase tissue factor–initiated
thrombin generation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)


WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
• Arterial and venous thromboembolic events, ischemic events, and cardiac events, including sudden death,
have occurred during treatment with ANDEXXA. To reduce thromboembolic risk, resume anticoagulant
therapy as soon as medically appropriate following treatment with ANDEXXA. The safety of ANDEXXA has
not been evaluated in subjects who experienced thromboembolic events or disseminated intravascular
coagulation within two weeks prior to the life-threatening bleeding event requiring treatment with ANDEXXA.
Safety of ANDEXXA also has not been evaluated in subjects who received prothrombin complex concentrates,
recombinant factor VIIa, or whole blood products within seven days prior to the bleeding event.

Please see Important Safety Information throughout, and read US full Prescribing Information
4 including Boxed WARNING.
PART 3: Supporting Evidence

Clinical Development Program


The efficacy and safety of ANDEXXA® (coagulation factor Xa (recombinant), inactivated-zhzo) has been
evaluated in preclinical animal models; Phase 1, 2, and 3 studies in healthy subjects; and a Phase 3b/4 study
in patients with major bleeding.14-18
In addition, several real-world evidence studies have been published.5,19 Findings from these studies
lend further support to the totality of evidence supporting the use of ANDEXXA for patients treated with
apixaban or rivaroxaban, when reversal of anticoagulation is needed due to life-threatening or uncontrolled
bleeding.5,19

ANNEXA-A and ANNEXA-R: Reversal of FXa Inhibitor


Activity in Healthy Subjects
Objective14
The primary objective was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ANDEXXA® (coagulation factor Xa
(recombinant), inactivated-zhzo) for the reversal of FXa inhibitor anticoagulation with apixaban (ANNEXA-A)
or rivaroxaban (ANNEXA-R) in healthy subjects aged 50-75 years.

Study design14
ANNEXA-A and ANNEXA-R were two Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies
designed to establish the efficacy and safety of ANDEXXA for the reversal of anticoagulation with apixaban
or rivaroxaban in older, healthy subjects. In ANNEXA-A (apixaban reversal), 23/31 subjects received ANDEXXA.
Healthy subjects received apixaban 5 mg twice daily for 3.5 days. At 3 hours after the last dose, ANDEXXA or
placebo was administered as a 400-mg IV bolus followed by a 4 mg/minute continuous infusion for 2 hours. In
ANNEXA-R (rivaroxaban reversal), 26/39 subjects received ANDEXXA. Healthy subjects received rivaroxaban
20 mg once daily for 4 days. At 4 hours after the last dose, ANDEXXA or placebo was administered as an 800-
mg IV bolus followed by an 8 mg/minute continuous infusion for 2 hours.

Inclusion/exclusion criteria21
Key inclusion criteria included healthy subjects (aged 50-75 years) with normal laboratory reference ranges
for PT, aPTT, and ACT; serum creatinine <1.5 mg/dL; and a body mass index (BMI) of 19 to 32 kg/m2 with a
weight of at least 60 kg. Exclusion criteria included subjects with history of abnormal bleeding or risk factors
for bleeding, past or current medical history of thrombosis, and an absolute or relative contraindication
to anticoagulation.

Study endpoints14
The primary efficacy outcome was mean percent change in anti-FXa activity from baseline to nadir for the
low-dose and high-dose regimens of bolus followed by continuous infusion. Nadir is defined as the smallest
value measured within 5 minutes after the end of the continuous infusion. Key secondary endpoints included
the proportion of participants with ≥80% reduction in anti-FXa activity from baseline to nadir after ANDEXXA
administration or placebo; the occurrence of an endogenous thrombin potential above the lower limit of the
baseline-derived range at its peak after ANDEXXA administration or placebo; and the change in unbound
inhibitor plasma concentration from baseline to nadir after ANDEXXA administration or placebo.
Safety endpoints included the incidence of adverse events, thromboembolic events, and antibodies to factor
X (FX), FXa, and ANDEXXA.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)


ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most common adverse reactions (≥ 5%) in bleeding subjects receiving ANDEXXA were urinary tract
infections and pneumonia. The most common adverse reactions (≥ 3%) in healthy volunteers treated with
ANDEXXA were infusion-related reactions.

PART 3: Supporting Evidence

ANNEXA-A and ANNEXA-R: Study Results


Primary efficacy endpoint14
Anti-FXa activity was rapidly reduced in 2 minutes after a bolus dose of ANDEXXA® (coagulation factor Xa
(recombinant), inactivated-zhzo), and reversal was sustained for 2 hours. When ANDEXXA was administered
as a bolus plus a 2-hour infusion, it also reduced anti-FXa activity to a greater extent than did placebo, both
in the apixaban study (92% vs 33%, p<0.001) and in the rivaroxaban study (97% vs 45%, p<0.001).

Secondary efficacy endpoint14


The mean concentration of unbound (pharmacologically active) apixaban and rivaroxaban in plasma
was reduced by a significantly greater amount after administration of a bolus of ANDEXXA than after
administration of placebo (apixaban reduction, 9.3 ng/mL vs 1.9 ng/mL; rivaroxaban reduction, 23.4 ng/mL
vs 4.2 ng/mL; p<0.001 for both). After administration of bolus plus an infusion of ANDEXXA, the mean plasma
concentrations of unbound apixaban and rivaroxaban were reduced by a significantly greater amount with
ANDEXXA than with placebo (apixaban reduction, 6.5 ng/mL vs 3.0 ng/mL; rivaroxaban reduction, 30.3 ng/mL
vs 12.1 ng/mL; p<0.001 for both). This reversal was sustained with a bolus plus an infusion of ANDEXXA.

ANNEXA-4: Acute Major Bleeding Associated With


Factor Xa Inhibitors
Objective18
The primary objective was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ANDEXXA® (coagulation factor Xa
(recombinant), inactivated-zhzo) in patients with acute major bleeding and administration of an FXa
inhibitor within 18 hours.
Study design
ANNEXA-4 was a Phase 3b/4 multicenter, prospective, single-arm, open-label study that evaluated the use
of ANDEXXA in patients with acute major bleeding administered an FXa inhibitor within 18 hours (N=352).18 All
patients in the ANNEXA-4 trial received an ANDEXXA bolus dose (over a period of 15-30 minutes) followed
by a 2-hour continuous infusion.18 A low-dose or high-dose regimen of ANDEXXA was used, depending on
the specific FXa inhibitor, dose of FXa inhibitor, and time since the patient’s last dose of FXa inhibitor prior
to enrollment. The low-dose regimen consisted of a bolus dose of 400 mg at a target rate of 30 mg/minute,
and an infusion dose of 480 mg at 4 mg/minute for 2 hours. The high-dose regimen consisted of a bolus
dose of 800 mg at a target rate of 30 mg/minute, and an infusion dose of 960 mg at 8 mg/minute for 2
hours.22 The independent adjudication committee reviewed each case to determine hemostatic efficacy
based on predetermined criteria to provide a rating of excellent/good (effective hemostasis) or poor/none
(noneffective hemostasis).18,22 For patients with intracranial hemorrhage, CT or MRI of the head was performed
within 2 hours before ANDEXXA and at 1 and 12 hours after continuous infusion.22
Inclusion/exclusion criteria18
Key inclusion criteria included patients ≥18 years of age with acute major bleeding and had received apixaban
or rivaroxaban within 18 hours. Key exclusion criteria included surgery scheduled within 12 hours after ANDEXXA
administration (with the exception of minimally invasive operations or procedures); Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)
score of <7 or an intracerebral hematoma volume >60 cc; expected survival of <1 month; the occurrence of
a thrombotic event within 2 weeks of enrollment; and use of vitamin K antagonists, dabigatran, prothrombin
complex concentrates (PCCs), recombinant factor VII, whole blood, or plasma within the preceding 7 days.
Study endpoints
The coprimary endpoints were: (a) percent change in anti-FXa activity from baseline to the nadir between
5 minutes after the end of the bolus up until the end of the infusion, and (b) rate of effective hemostasis within
12 hours after infusion as rated by an independent endpoint adjudication committee.18
Safety outcomes included thrombotic events, antibodies to FX and FXa or ANDEXXA, and mortality at
30 days.18

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)


WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED)
• Re-elevation or incomplete reversal of anticoagulant activity can occur.
• ANDEXXA may interfere with the anticoagulant effect of heparin. If anticoagulation is needed, use an

ANNEXA-4: Hemostatic Efficacy Results


Of the 254 patients in the efficacy analysis, 249 could be evaluated for hemostatic efficacy.18 For intracerebral
hemorrhage, an increase in hematoma volume of ≤20% at both 1 hour and 12 hours compared to baseline
constituted an excellent rate, while an increase of >20% but ≤35% at 12 hours constituted a good rate.22 For GI,
urinary, or other nonvisible bleeding, a decrease in both hemoglobin and hematocrit of ≤10% compared to
baseline constituted an excellent rate, while a decrease of >10% but ≤20% constituted a good rate.22 Clinical
hemostasis was adjudicated as excellent or good in 82% of patients (204/249) 12 hours after ANDEXXA®
(coagulation factor Xa (recombinant), inactivated-zhzo) infusion.18 Please note that additional studies are
needed to establish an improvement in hemostasis in patients managed with ANDEXXA. Continued approval

ANNEXA-4: Safety Results


The safety analysis population included all 352 patients who received ANDEXXA® (coagulation factor
Xa (recombinant), inactivated-zhzo).18 There were 54 deaths (15%) prior to the 30-day visit; with 42
cardiovascular deaths, including 3 with unknown causes and 2 that were unadjudicated; and 12
non-cardiovascular deaths.13 Of the 236 subjects with available samples, 6.8% (16/236) had antibodies
against ANDEXXA. None of these anti-ANDEXXA antibodies were neutralizing. No neutralizing antibodies
cross-reacting with FX or FXa have been detected in healthy subjects (0/145) or in bleeding subjects
(0/209) to date.13
There were 18% (63/352) of subjects who experienced 1 or more of the following overall thromboembolic
events: cerebrovascular accident (CVA) (16/63; 25%), deep vein thrombosis (DVT) (16/63; 25%), acute
myocardial infarction (10/63; 16%), pulmonary embolism (5/63; 8%), and transient ischemic attack (TIA)
(1/63; 2%).13 Of the 352 subjects who received ANDEXXA, 223 received at least 1 dose of parenteral or
oral anticoagulant therapy within 30 days after treatment.13 Restart of any anticoagulation includes
the use of any form of heparin or low–molecular-weight heparin, fondaparinux, or argatroban, or any
oral anticoagulant, including vitamin K antagonists and non–vitamin K antagonists (at any dose and for
any duration).18 Of these 223, 18 subjects (8%) experienced a thromboembolic event and/or ischemic
event after restarting anticoagulation.13 No thromboembolic events were reported in these patients after
restarting oral anticoagulation.18

Multicenter Retrospective Safety Analysis


(Coleman et al)
Objective19
The aim of this study was to describe patient demographics, utilization of reversal or replacement agents,
including ANDEXXA® (coagulation factor Xa (recombinant), inactivated-zhzo) and 4-factor prothrombin
complex concentrate (4F-PCC), and outcomes associated with management of FXa inhibitor–associated
major bleeds in US hospitals.19

Study design19
This was a multicenter, retrospective, electronic medical record survey of adult patients hospitalized with
FXa inhibitor–related bleeding.19 The aim was to describe the real-world utilization and outcomes associated
with management of these bleeds.

Limitations19
Data from this study were retrospective and observational in nature, were not based on controlled clinical
studies, and did not support any conclusions on the comparative safety or efficacy of reversal agents
described herein.19 The study results should not be interpreted as providing evidence of either superiority or
noninferiority of ANDEXXA or supportive care therapies. Further study is warranted to confirm clinically and
statistically relevant differences in in-hospital mortality rates. Results from these analyses were not adjusted
for confounding factors and may differ from results seen in the clinical practice of a particular provider.
Other than ANDEXXA, agents in this analysis are not approved for the management of FXa inhibitor–related
bleeding. ANDEXXA is the only antidote indicated to reverse apixaban- or rivaroxaban-related severe
bleeding.

Multicenter Retrospective Safety Analysis: Results


Real-world evidence has started to emerge since the availability of ANDEXXA® (coagulation factor Xa
(recombinant), inactivated-zhzo).19 In a chart review of 3030 FXa inhibitor–related hospitalizations for major
bleeds from 45 hospitals across the US, 342 bleeds were managed with ANDEXXA. Forty-five percent of FXa
inhibitor–related bleeds were associated with apixaban and 49% were associated with rivaroxaban.
Observed inpatient mortality was 4% for patients managed with ANDEXXA (n=342) and 8% to 11% for patients
managed with other supportive care options (n=2688). Other supportive care options were defined as
4F-PCC, fresh frozen plasma (FFP), 3-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (3F-PCC), recombinant factor
VIIa, activated 4F-PCC, tranexamic acid, vitamin K, or no reversal/replacement administered. Other than
ANDEXXA, agents in this analysis are not approved for the management of apixaban- or rivaroxaban-related
bleeding.19

Indirect Retrospective Analysis (Cohen et al)


Objective5
The goal of this analysis was to evaluate 30-day mortality outcomes associated with the management of FXa
inhibitor–related major bleeds by comparing data from patients treated with ANDEXXA® (coagulation factor
Xa (recombinant), inactivated-zhzo) or prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs).

Study design5
This indirect, retrospective analysis of results from the ANNEXA-4 and ORANGE studies used propensity score
matching (PSM) to compare all-cause 30-day mortality in the whole cohort and by type of bleed: ICH,
GI bleed, and other major bleeds. ANNEXA-4 and ORANGE were 2 prospective studies that enrolled patients
with FXa inhibitor–related bleeding:
• ORANGE was an observational, prospective registry study that collected information from 32 UK hospitals on
the presentation and clinical outcomes of patients who were admitted for a major bleeding episode while
on oral anticoagulant therapy from 2013 to 2016 (N=2192)
– Refinement of the ORANGE patient population for this analysis: Of the total safety population, patients
were excluded if they were receiving anticoagulants other than apixaban or rivaroxaban, did not have
observed mortality data, did not have observed age data, or did not have observations for all relevant
covariates (n=145)
• Refinement of the ANNEXA-4 patient population for this analysis: Of the total safety population, patients
were excluded if they were receiving anticoagulants other than apixaban or rivaroxaban, did not have
observed mortality data, or did not have observations for all relevant covariates (n=322)
• Using PSM, all 322 patients included in this analysis from the ANNEXA-4 study were matched with 88 of the
145 patients included from the ORANGE study. Patients who were included in this analysis from the ORANGE
study could be matched with multiple patients from the ANNEXA-4 study if they were the best match (a total
of 53 patients from the ORANGE study were matched multiple times)
• Since this was a real-world analysis derived from 2 datasets, a power analysis was not calculated and all
patients who met inclusion/exclusion criteria were included

Indirect Retrospective Analysis (Cohen et al)


Limitations5
The main limitation of indirect retrospective analyses is the potential for bias due to baseline differences in the
patient populations. While PSM reduced the risk of bias, differences across the 2 studies in eligibility criteria,
variables reported, and how variables were measured remained. The degree of bias associated with each of
these sources is inherently immeasurable in PSM. This analysis was limited by different inclusion/exclusion criteria
across the 2 studies, with the ANNEXA-4 trial excluding patients with a GCS <7, ICH with hematoma
>60 cc, and expected survival less than 1 month. A GCS threshold was used as an exclusion criterion for ICH
in ANNEXA-4 but not in ORANGE. Baseline size or volume of bleeds, blood pressure, ventricular involvement
for ICH, and time from ICH symptoms to computed tomography could not be included in the propensity
score regression model because these were not measured in the ORANGE study. Similarly, location of GI
bleed (known to influence severity) could not be used in the propensity score model due to a large number
of unknown sites of GI bleeding in ANNEXA-4. Additionally, histories of myocardial infarction and ischemic
heart disease were excluded because each study defined these differently. Lastly, even after matching, there
were still some significant differences between the 2 treatment groups regarding a previous medical history
of TIA, stroke, and hypertension. Lack of matching for potential confounding and highly predictive variables
may have biased the outcomes. Due to the indirect nature of this analysis, further research is warranted to
evaluate differences between these agents for DOAC-related bleeding. ANDEXXA® (coagulation factor Xa
(recombinant), inactivated-zhzo) is the only antidote indicated to reverse apixaban- or rivaroxaban-related
severe bleeding.

PART 3: Supporting Evidence

Supporting Evidence: Conclusions


Unmet need and value of ANDEXXA® (coagulation factor Xa (recombinant), inactivated-zhzo)
In clinical studies, major bleeding occurred in up to 6% of patients with NVAF taking DOACs.6,7 In the ARISTOTLE
trial, 12% were ICH, 24% GI-related, and 64% occurring at other sites.6 In the ROCKET-AF trial, major bleeds
reported were 14% ICH, 57% GI-related, and 29% at other sites.7 A high mortality risk is associated with FXa
inhibitor–related ICH, with a 30-day mortality rate observed in 45% of patients in the ARISTOTLE trial and an
all-cause mortality rate observed in 48% of patients in the ROCKET-AF trial.8,9 FXa inhibitor use continues to rise,
resulting in approximately 190,000 hospitalizations in apixaban- and rivaroxaban-treated patients in 2019.10
Prior to FDA approval of ANDEXXA, there was a need to address the reversal of oral FXa inhibitors in response
to a major bleeding episode. ANDEXXA is a specific, rapid reversal agent for FXa inhibitors apixaban or
rivaroxaban in patients with acute major bleeding.13,14 ANDEXXA is a recombinant modified human FXa
protein that is catalytically inactive but rapidly binds and sequesters FXa inhibitors with high affinity to reduce
the concentration of the unbound (pharmacologically active) inhibitors.14 This allows for the restoration of
thrombin generation via endogenous native FXa.14

Efficacy characteristics
Specific reversal agent: ANDEXXA is the only FDA-approved treatment designed to specifically target FXa
inhibition and reverse anticoagulation effects in patients treated with apixaban or rivaroxaban when reversal
of anticoagulation is needed due to life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding.13
Rapid reversal of apixaban or rivaroxaban anticoagulation: ANDEXXA showed a rapid and significant
reduction in anti-FXa activity (>90%) and unbound apixaban or rivaroxaban concentration within 2 minutes
after administration of a bolus of ANDEXXA in older healthy subjects, and the effects were sustained
throughout a 2-hour infusion.13,14 ANDEXXA (bolus plus infusion) restored thrombin generation to above the
lower limit of the normal range in all apixaban- and rivaroxaban-treated subjects.14
Efficacy in FXa inhibitor–related acute major bleeding: ANDEXXA reduced anti-FXa activity in patients with
acute major bleeding by 93% for both apixaban and rivaroxaban.13 Hemostatic efficacy was also evaluated
and was adjudicated as excellent or good in 82% (95% CI, 77-87) of patients 12 hours after ANDEXXA infusion.
The rates of excellent or good hemostatic efficacy were 85% (95% CI, 76-94) for GI bleeding and 80% (95% CI,
74-86) for ICH.18 Additional studies are needed to establish an improvement in hemostasis
in patients managed with ANDEXXA. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon
these results.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED)
• Re-elevation or incomplete reversal of anticoagulant activity can occur.
• ANDEXXA may interfere with the anticoagulant effect of heparin. If anticoagulation is needed, use an

Supporting Evidence: Conclusions (Continued)


Safety and tolerability
In pooled safety data from Phase 3 ANNEXA-A and ANNEXA-R studies in healthy subjects, there were no
reported thromboembolic events, and no serious or severe adverse events.14 Infusion-related reactions (eg,
flushing, feeling hot, dysgeusia, and dyspnea) which were classified as mild to moderate in severity occurred
in 18% of subjects.13
Furthermore, in the safety analysis of the ANNEXA-4 trial in patients with acute major bleeding, there were
54 deaths (15%) overall, with 42 cardiovascular deaths, including 3 with unknown causes and 2 that were
unadjudicated, and 12 non-cardiovascular deaths.13 At day 30, thromboembolic events were reported in
18% of patients, with 8% being reported after restarting any anticoagulation.13 No thromboembolic events
occurred after restarting oral anticoagulation.18

Real-world evidence and outcomes


A multicenter, retrospective electronic medical record (EMR) analysis from 45 US hospitals was conducted
to evaluate real-world utilization and outcomes associated with reversal or replacement agents for the
management of oral FXa inhibitor–related major bleeds.19 Of the 3030 FXa inhibitor–related hospitalizations for
major bleeds, 342 bleeds were managed with ANDEXXA® (coagulation factor Xa (recombinant), inactivated-
zhzo). Observed inpatient mortality for patients managed with ANDEXXA (n=342) was 4%, and 8% to 11% was
observed for patients managed with other supportive care options (n=2688).19
In an indirect, retrospective PSM analysis, 2 single-arm patient-level datasets (ANNEXA-4 and ORANGE) compared
the 30-day mortality of ANDEXXA vs PCC following life-threatening apixaban- and rivaroxaban-related major
bleeding.5 A 57% relative reduction in adjusted (after matching) all-cause 30-day mortality was seen for the
entire cohort of patients treated with ANDEXXA, and a 69% relative reduction was seen for patients treated with
ANDEXXA in the ICH subgroup.5

Pending Confirmatory Clinical Trial


ANNEXA-I is an ongoing, randomized, open-label, two-arm, Phase 4 study.20 The primary objective of the
study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ANDEXXA vs usual care in patients with ICH anticoagulated
with a FXa inhibitor. Usual care consists of any treatment(s) (including no treatment) other than ANDEXXA that
the investigator considers to be appropriate. The primary outcome measure is the proportion of patients with
good or excellent hemostatic efficacy, and the secondary outcome measure is percent change in anti-FXa
activity from baseline to nadir. The trial assessments will also include evaluation of occurrence of the safety
outcomes, including death and thrombotic events.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION


WARNING: THROMBOEMBOLIC RISKS, ISCHEMIC RISKS, CARDIAC ARREST, AND SUDDEN DEATHS
Treatment with ANDEXXA has been associated with serious and life-threatening adverse events, including:
• Arterial and venous thromboembolic events
• Ischemic events, including myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke
• Cardiac arrest
• Sudden deaths
Monitor for thromboembolic events and initiate anticoagulation when medically appropriate. Monitor for symptoms
and signs that precede cardiac arrest and provide treatment as needed.

Reconstitution and Preparation Guide13


NOTE: For dosing, choose either the low dose or high dose based on the specific FXa inhibitor, dose of FXa inhibitor,
and time since the patient’s last dose per the table on the previous page. ANDEXXA® (coagulation factor Xa
(recombinant), inactivated-zhzo) is administered using an initial IV bolus followed by a continuous IV infusion.

Reconstitution
• Reconstituted ANDEXXA in vials is stable at room temperature for up to 8 hours
• Reconstituted vials may be stored for up to 24 hours at 2 °C to 8 °C (36 °F to 46 °F)
• Reconstituted ANDEXXA in IV bags is stable at room temperature for up to 8 hours

IV bolus preparation
• Determine total number of vials required (see “ANDEXXA has 2 dosing regimens” table on
the previous page)
• Reconstitute the 200-mg vial of ANDEXXA with 20 mL of Sterile Water for Injection (SWFI)
• Using a 20-mL (or larger) syringe and 20-gauge (or higher) needle, slowly inject the SWFI,
directing the solution onto the inside wall of the vial to minimize foaming
• To reduce the total reconstitution time needed during preparation, reconstitute all required
vials in succession
• To ensure dissolution of the cake or powder, gently swirl each vial until complete dissolution
of powder occurs

DO NOT SHAKE the vials as it can lead to foaming.


• Dissolution time for each vial is approximately 3 to 5 minutes
• If dissolution is incomplete, discard the vial, and do not use the product
• Inspect reconstituted vials for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration:
– Solution should be clear, colorless to light yellow
• Use 60-mL (or larger) syringe with a 20-gauge (or higher) needle to withdraw the
reconstituted ANDEXXA solution from each of the vials until the required dosing volume is
achieved. Note the total volume withdrawn into the syringe
• Transfer the ANDEXXA solution from the syringe into an empty polyolefin or polyvinyl
chloride IV bag with a volume of 250 mL or less
• Finally, discard all used syringes, needles, and vials, including any unused portion of
reconstituted solution

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)


WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
• Arterial and venous thromboembolic events, ischemic events, and cardiac events, including sudden death,
have occurred during treatment with ANDEXXA. To reduce thromboembolic risk, resume anticoagulant
therapy as soon as medically appropriate following treatment with ANDEXXA. The safety of ANDEXXA has
not been evaluated in subjects who experienced thromboembolic events or disseminated intravascular
coagulation within two weeks prior to the life-threatening bleeding event requiring treatment with ANDEXXA.
Safety of ANDEXXA also has not been evaluated in subjects who received prothrombin complex concentrates,
recombinant factor VIIa, or whole blood products within seven days prior to the bleeding event.
• Re-elevation or incomplete reversal of anticoagulant activity can occur.
• ANDEXXA may interfere with the anticoagulant effect of heparin. If anticoagulation is needed, use an
alternative anticoagulant to heparin.

Please see Important Safety Information throughout, and read US full Prescribing Information
25 including Boxed WARNING.
PART 4: Additional Resources

Reconstitution and Preparation Guide (Continued)13


Continuous IV infusion preparation
• Follow the same procedure outlined for IV bolus preparation. Reconstitute the total number of vials needed
based on the dose requirements. More than one 40- to 60-mL syringe, or an equivalent 100-mL syringe, may
be used for transfer of reconstituted solution to the IV bag
• Infusion will require a 0.2 or 0.22 micron in-line polyethersulfone or equivalent low protein-binding filter

Administration
• Upon reconstitution, the parenteral drug product should be inspected visually for particulate matter
and discoloration prior to administration
• Administer ANDEXXA® (coagulation factor Xa (recombinant), inactivated-zhzo) intravenously, using a 0.2 or
0.22 micron in-line polyethersulfone or equivalent low protein-binding filter
• Start the bolus at a target rate of approximately 30 mg/minute
• Within 2 minutes following the bolus dose, administer the continuous IV infusion for up to 120 minutes

Restarting anticoagulant therapy


Patients treated with FXa inhibitor therapy have underlying disease states that predispose them to
thromboembolic events. Reversing FXa inhibitor therapy exposes patients to the thrombotic risk of their
underlying disease. To reduce the risk of thrombosis, resume anticoagulant therapy as soon as medically
appropriate following treatment with ANDEXXA.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)


ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most common adverse reactions (≥ 5%) in bleeding subjects receiving ANDEXXA were urinary tract
infections and pneumonia. The most common adverse reactions (≥ 3%) in healthy volunteers treated with
ANDEXXA were infusion-related reactions.
