A Phase 3, Prospective, Randomized, Open-label, Adaptive Group Sequential, Multicenter Trial with Blinded Endpoint Assessment to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of PROTHROMPLEX TOTAL for the Reversal of Direct Oral Factor Xa Inhibitor-induced Anticoagulation in Patients Requiring Urgent Surgery/Invasive Procedure.

Eligibility

  • Participants at least 18 years of age at enrollment.
  • Participant currently on treatment with oral Factor Xa inhibitor (rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban).
  • In the opinion of the surgeon, the participant requires an urgent surgery/procedure that is associated with high-risk of intraoperative bleeding within 15 hours from the last dose of Factor Xa inhibitor and requires a reversal agent for suspected direct oral Factor Xa inhibitor-related coagulopathy. 
  • For participants who are beyond the 15-hour window, eligibility requires proof of elevated plasma anti Factor Xa (FXa) levels using either specific direct oral anti-coagulant (DOAC)-calibrated (apixaban, rivaroxaban or edoxaban) anti-FXa levels of greater than (>) 75 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL), or heparin calibrated anti-FXa assay levels of >0.5 international unit per milliliter (IU/mL) at screening.
  • Women of childbearing potential should have a negative pregnancy test documented prior to enrollment
  • Participant or legally authorized representative willing to sign e-consent/written informed consent form.
