This document discusses new blood products and their roles in hemorrhagic stroke. It summarizes a study on Recombinant Factor VIIa (rFVIIa) for treating acute intracerebral hemorrhage. The study found that while rFVIIa reduced hematoma growth, it did not improve survival or functional outcomes. The document also reviews options for reversing the effects of oral anticoagulants in patients who experience hemorrhagic stroke, including prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs). It provides guidance on appropriate dosing and administration of PCCs based on recommendations from the National Advisory Committee on Blood and Blood Products.

6. Study Overview
In a previous phase 2 placebo-controlled
trial, recombinant activated factor VII
(rFVIIa) reduced growth of the
hematoma and improved survival and
functional outcome in patients with
intracerebral hemorrhage
Those findings were not reproduced in
this phase 3 trial, in which rFVIIa
reduced hematoma growth but did not
improve clinical outcomes
8. Conclusion
Hemostatic therapy with rFVIIa reduced
growth of the hematoma but did not
improve survival or functional outcome
after intracerebral hemorrhage
The overall frequency of thromboembolic
serious adverse events was similar in the
three groups; however, arterial events were
more frequent in the group receiving 80 μg
of rFVIIa than in the placebo group (9% vs.
4%, P=0.04).
9. The Practical Management of
Intracerebral Hemorrhage with Oral
Anticoagulatn Therapy -Review
Risk 0.2 % - 0.6 % per year of treatment - VKA
70% are intracerebral, 30% subararchnoid
OAT-ICH represent 15% of all ICH
Many have supratherapeutic INR; however most
have a therapeutic INR
30 day mortality 12-60% & double that of nonanticoagulated patients
Hematoma volume & GCS major determinants

10. Oral Anticoagulation Therapy
Associated Intracerebral Hemorrhage
(OAT-ICH)
Hematoma enlargement is a major determinant of
the poor prognosis in OAT-ICH
OAT-ICH is associated with greater baseline
volume of ICH, more hemorrhage expansion &
greater mortality than spontaneous ICH
Approx 50% of OAT-ICH patients present a
secondary volume expansion compared to 17% of
non-OAT-ICH patients

Urgent Reversal of Coagulopathy
Based on the premise that this will reduce the risk
hematoma expansion or re-bleeding and facilitate
surgical intervention, if indicated.

12. NIKE Principles in the Reversal of
Oral Anticoagulation Therapy
Associated Intracerebral Hemorrhage
N – Normalize the INR
I – Immediate reversal in all patients,
regardless of the size of the hemorrhage
K – vitamin K must be included to avoid
rebound elevation of the INR
E – all levels of INR Elevation require
urgent correction

14. Therapeutic options for reversal
of Warfarin
Withhold VKA
– Two to three days to reach INR < 1.5
Vitamin K
– Oral: slow decrease in INR over 12-24 hr
– I.V.: onset in 4-6 hr, INR < 1.5 in 12-16 hr
Factor replacement – 30 IU/kg (70kg)
– FFP 2000 ml
– PCC 2000 IU (80ml)
15. Target INR and coagulation
factor concentration
Minor bleeding or invasive procedures:
– clotting factor levels of 20 – 40% or
– an INR of 1.5 – 2.0
Severe injury/bleeding or major surgery:
– factor levels of 50 – 60% or
– INR of 1.0 – 1.5

deficiency in patients exhibiting major
bleeding
Reversal of warfarin therapy or vitamin K
deficiency in patients requiring urgent (< 6
hour) surgical procedure.
National Advisory Committee on Blood and
Blood products, September 2008
22. Clinical use of PCCs
Not recommended for:
– Elective surgery reversal of oral anticoagulation
– Treatment of elevated INRs without bleeding or need
for surgical intervention
– Massive transfusion
– Coagulopathy associated with liver dysfunction
– Patients with recent history of thrombosis, myocardial
infarction, ischemic stroke, or Disseminated
Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)
National Advisory Committee on Blood and Blood
products, September 2008
23. Clinical use of PCCs
Contraindicated:
– Patients with a history of heparin induced
thromobocytopenia (HIT)
Insufficient evidence for use in pregnant
women or pediatric patients.

NAC recommendations are lower, due to the fact
the package insert recommendations will correct
factor levels to normal despite the fact that normal
hemostasis does not require 100% factor levels.
25. “Activated PCC” - FEIBA
Activated PCCs are different products
characterized by the presence of activated factors
(especially VIIa) and used in treatment of patients
with coagulation factor inhibitors.
FEIBA is licensed and in use in Canada
More thrombogenic than second generation PCCs
– in the 1970’s post operative thrombotic
complications occurred in 46% of Hemophilia B
patients receiving perioperative PCC
26. PCC Production
All PCCs undergo at least 1 pathogen reduction step:
Nanofiltration
Solvent-detergent treatment
Pasteurization
However, theoretical concerns exist regarding:
Non-lipid enveloped viruses (hepatitis A, parvovirus B19)
Prions (vCJD)
?Emerging pathogens?

27. PCCs: Concerns
Thrombogenicity
Especially with high risk patients, repeated dosing
Attempt to minimize by inclusion of proteins C & S,
heparin, +/- antithrombin
Meta-analysis of PCC use for rapid VKA reversal found
thrombotic incidence was 1.8% (95% CI = 1.0-3.0%) for
4-factor PCCs (0.7% for 3-factor PCCs)1
Exacerbation of coagulopathy/DIC (esp. in liver disease)

45. NAC 2011 Recommendations
Octaplex® and Beriplex® to be used interchangeably
Special patient populations: insufficient evidence to recommend use in
patients on direct thrombin or FXa inhibitors (dabigatran, rivaroxaban)
Major change = dosing recommendations:
INR < 3.0 → 40mL (2 vials = 1000 IU)
INR 3.0-5.0 → 80mL (4 vials = 2000 IU)
INR >5.0 → 120mL (6 vials = 3000 IU)
Stressed preference for IV vitamin K over PO (never IM/SC)
Highlighted the lack of strong RCT evidence of clinical efficacy in this
area warrants continued data collection
http://www.nacblood.ca/resources/guidelines/nac-pcc-recommendations-june-2011-final.pdf
http://www.nacblood.ca/resources/guidelines/nac-pcc-recommendations-june-2011-final.pdf
46. BC TMAG’s view of revised
2011 NAC guidelines
Endorse the NAC recommendations “for the
treatment of critical bleeding”
– INR < 3.0 → 40mL (2 vials = 1000 IU)
– INR 3.0-5.0 → 80mL (4 vials = 2000 IU)
– INR >5.0 → 120mL (6 vials = 3000 IU)
However, in the absence of critical bleeding,
dosing should reflect the patient’s weight, INR and
urgency of the situation with titration of the dose
whenever possible.
47. Novel Oral Anticoagulants
Reversible, direct inhibitors of common pathway coagulation factors:
– Thrombin (FIIa) = dabigatran (Pradax®)
– FXa = rivaroxaban (Xarelto®), apixaban
2008: dabigatran and rivaroxaban licensed by Health Canada for posthip and knee replacement thromboprophylaxis
Oct 2010: dabigatran approved by Health Canada for stroke prevention
in patients with atrial fibrillation
All 3 agents have completed or are nearing completion of trials in atrial
fibrillation, acute VTE treatment, and secondary VTE prevention
48. Novel Oral Anticoagulants
Unlike warfarin, these agents have a broad therapeutic index
Routine laboratory monitoring is not required
Both agents undergo mainly renal excretion with a T1/2 of approx 12 hrs
– Dabigatran (35% protein bound) is amenable to dialysis, but not
rivaroxaban
– Can give activated charcoal for acute (<2hrs) overdose of either drug
But, if a patient anticoagulated with these drugs presents with life
threatening bleeding (i.e. ICH) or requires emergency surgery...
– How do we assess their degree of anticoagulation?
– Can we urgently reverse the anticoagulant effects of these drugs?

53. Laboratory tests for Novel
Anticoagulants
There is currently no single laboratory test
routinely available that provides specific
evaluation of the anticoagulation effect of
Dabigatran or other novel anticoagulants.
Dabigatran excretion is prolonged in
patients with abnormal renal function.
Creatinine/GFR measurement is essential in
bleeding patients.
54. Laboratory tests for Novel
Anticoagulants
A normal INR and PTT should exclude the
presence of significant levels of Dabigatran
or other novel anticoagulants in most, but
not all, patients.
The most sensitive test for the presence of
Dabigatran is the Thrombin Time – a
normal result excludes the presence of this
drug, but not the other new oral
anticoagulants.
55. Laboratory tests for Novel
Anticoagulants
There are currently no locally available tests
that accurately quantifies Dabigatran
anticoagulant activity or that of the other
novel anticoagulants.
The most sensitive test for the presence of
Direct Factor Xa inhibitors is the PT/INR.
56.
57. No Antidote for Dabigatran
PCC (Octaplex/Beriplex) and recombinant
Factor VIIa (rFVIIa) have not been
evaluated in clinical settings, and have
NOT been demonstrated to improve
coagulation assays in experimental and
volunteer studies. These agents have
been shown to decrease bleeding in a rat
tail vein model despite absence of
reversal of coagulation parameters.

67. Management of Bleeding
Novel Anticoagulants
oral charcoal if ingestion within 2 hours
mechanical compression if possible and
surgical intervention where indicated
crystalloid replacement and hemodynamic
support, ensure maintenance of urine output
(aggressive diuresis)
68. Management of Bleeding
Novel Anticoagulants
blood product transfusion as indicated
for anemia, thrombocytopenia or
coagulopathy unrelated to dabigatran
hemodialysis, particularly in the setting of
overdose or renal impairment
Consult Hematology
69. Management of Bleeding
Novel Anticoagulants
the use of FFP, PCC, activated PCC or rFVIIa
on a routine basis cannot be recommended as
part of an effective reversal protocol based on
the current medical literature
Nonetheless, there are case reports that describe
the use of FEIBA, rFVIIa or PCCs (Octaplex or
Beriplex) and these agents are being used off-label
to treat ICH in many Canadian hospitals, without
any published evidence of efficacy.
70. Management of Bleeding
Novel Anticoagulants
There is slightly more evidence of efficacy
in humans of the use of PCC when dealing
with bleeding associated with Rivaroxaban,
possibly by overwhelming the inhibitor with
Factor X
Anecdotal reports suggest that FEIBA may
be more effective than Octaplex or Beriplex
in the context of Dabigatran
71. Factor VIIa for Dabigitran
In a controlled trial on healthy subjects the
Melagatran-induced effects on PTT, TGP &
platelet aggregation were not affected
Based on these results it appears that VIIa is
not effective in reversing DTI
FAST study in non-anticoagulated ICH
72. …So What To Recommend?
Supportive therapy, diuresis +/- dialysis
Consider antifibrinolytic therapy Tranexamic acid
(10 mg/kg IV or 25 mg/kg orally, rounded to the nearest 500 mg.)
For acute life threatening bleeds or urgent (<6hrs) surgery:
– Clinician to discuss case with on-call hematopathologist for
possible administration of “reversal agent”
– Current recommendation of VGH hematology / hematopathology
groups is 3000 IU PCC IV infusion (6 vials = 120 mL)
– Outcomes (bleeding, thrombosis, death) should be monitored
Rationale:
– Attempt to overcome inhibition by increasing IIa and Xa
generation
– Avoid higher thrombosis risk of rFVIIa and FEIBA
73. Conclusions
Factor VIIa not recommended for treatment of ICH
For urgent warfarin reversal, NAC 2011 recommendations
advocate PCC dosage according to INR:
– INR < 3.0 → 40mL (2 vials = 1000 IU)
– INR 3.0-5.0 → 80mL (4 vials = 2000 IU)
– INR >5.0 → 120mL (6 vials = 3000 IU)
Very little evidence to guide situations that warrant
immediate reversal of new anticoagulants
– Current VGH recommendation = 3000 IU PCC
– This is likely to change as the literature evolves!
75. Beriplex® vs Octaplex®
Similar content of vitamin K dependent
factors including protein C & S
Plus anti-thrombin III (0.6 IU/ml) &
albumin
Protein Z (36 IU/ml - ?proteolysis of Xa)
Less heparin (0.5 IU/ml vs 6.0 IU/ml)
Pasteurization vs S/D (both nano-filtered)

77. REVNEWANTICO…
Study in Healthy Volunteers of the Reversion by Haemostatic Drugs of
the Anticoagulant Effect of New Anti-thrombotics (REVNEWANTICO)
– 10 healthy male volunteers, open-label, no control arm
– Each given single dose of 20mg dabigatran or 150 mg rivaroxaban
– Reversal agents:
• Dabigatran = PCC, rFVIIa, Feiba
• Rivaroxaban = rivaroxaban decoy (FXa-GLAless)
– Primary outcome = thrombin generation time normalization
– Secondary outcomes:
• Dabigatran = normalization of TT and aPTT
• Rivaroxaban = normalization of PT and anti-Xa activity
– Completion date: June 2011
