  • History or documentation of ticagrelor intake within the prior 3 days
  • Patients described below who require urgent reversal of the antiplatelet effects of ticagrelor:
  • Patients with uncontrolled major or life-threatening bleeding, requiring urgent reversal of the antiplatelet effects of ticagrelor. It is expected that enrolled patients would have characteristics similar to those described below:
  • Potentially life-threatening bleeding with signs or symptoms of hemodynamic compromise, e.g., systolic blood pressure < 90 mm Hg and signs or symptoms of low cardiac output not otherwise explained
Show all 12Show fewer
  • Bleeding in a critical organ or closed space, such as intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular, retroperitoneal, intra-articular, pericardial, or intramuscular bleed with compartment syndrome
  • Visible, uncontrolled bleeding associated with a corrected hemoglobin level < 8.0 g/dL, a fall in hemoglobin level of ≥ 2.0 g/dL (1.24 mmol/L) from a known baseline, or requirement for transfusion of 2 or more units of packed red blood cells (PRBC)
  • Patients requiring urgent surgery or invasive procedure when it is not medically advisable either to proceed urgently with impaired hemostasis or to delay the urgent procedure for 3 or more days due to the high risk of bleeding. These patients may typically be in any of the following clinical situations:
  • Requires urgent surgery or invasive procedure known to be associated with a risk of significant bleeding (such as cardiac surgery, neurosurgery, or major orthopedic surgery)
  • Requires urgent surgery or invasive procedure that may have an adverse procedural outcome if hemostasis is impaired (such as neurological, spinal, ophthalmological, urological, or orthopedic surgery)
  • At risk of experiencing life-threatening events, such as, shock, myocardial infarction, or stroke, if significant intraoperative or postoperative bleeding occurs (such as in elderly patients or patients with underlying cardiac or pulmonary disease who have limited cardiopulmonary reserve)

Who cannot join

  • Known sensitivity or contraindication to PB2452 or any of its excipients
  • Patients in whom ticagrelor reversal is not considered urgent, e.g., patients with stable or non-acute conditions who have low hemoglobin due to chronic, low-grade gastrointestinal bleeding or who have stable, remote, or asymptomatic intracranial hemorrhage
  • Patients expected to be clinically unsalvageable, such as, patients with end-stage cancer or patients with overwhelming sepsis
  • Any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would make it unsafe or unsuitable for the patients to participate in this study. This includes assessment of likelihood to cooperate with study follow-up visits and procedures. Known pregnancy may be exclusionary in some regions or countries as directed by national health authorities and/or local Institutional Review Boards/Ethics Committees
  • Known use of clopidogrel, prasugrel or ticlopidine within 5 days of study drug administration; known use of antiplatelet GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors, or cangrelor within 5 half-lives of expected study drug administration; or known use of warfarin, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, or edoxaban within 5 half-lives of expected study drug administration
  • Known recent use (< 5 day) of vitamin K, prothrombin complex concentrate, recombinant factor VIIa, idarucizumab, or andexanet-alfa (coagulation factor Xa (recombinant), inactivated-zhzo)

About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Multicenter, Open-Label, Single-Arm Study of Bentracimab (PB2452) in Ticagrelor-Treated Patients With Uncontrolled Major or Life-Threatening Bleeding or Requiring Urgent Surgery or Invasive Procedure (REVERSE-IT Trial)

This is a multi-center, open-label, prospective single-arm study of reversal of the antiplatelet effects of ticagrelor with bentracimab (PB2452) in patients who present with uncontrolled major or life-threatening bleeding or who require urgent surgery or invasive procedure.

At least 200 patients will be enrolled from approximately 200 centers in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific regions, including mainland China. Patients with reported use of ticagrelor within the prior 3 days who require urgent ticagrelor reversal will be eligible for enrollment. These populations will be enrolled based on separate inclusion criteria.

Read the detailed description

The study will consist of a Screening/Pre-treatment period, an on-site assignment to study treatment and administration, a Follow-up visit on (Day 3+1 and Day 7±1), a Final Follow-up visit (Day 35±3) and a Follow-up visit for intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) only patients (Day 90±10). Infusion of PB2452 will be initiated on Day 1 and will continue for approximately 16 hours for a total of 18 g.

On Day 1, subjects who meet all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will receive an intravenous (IV) infusion comprised of an initial IV bolus of 6 grams (g) infused over 10 minutes for rapid reversal, followed immediately by a 6g IV loading infusion over 4 hours and then a 6 g IV maintenance infusion over 12 hours. This bentracimab (PB2452) regimen is expected to provide immediate reversal of the antiplatelet effects of ticagrelor within 5 minutes of the initiation of infusion that is sustained for 20-24 hours.

In subjects with potential drug interaction from recent concomitant use of moderate or strong CYP3A inhibitors with ticagrelor, an alternative regimen may be used comprising administration of 36 g over an active treatment period of 24 hours and 10 min. (This alternative regimen will be an initial 12 g bolus infusion over 10 minutes, followed immediately by a loading infusion of 12 g over 6 hours which will then be followed by a maintenance regimen of 12 g infused over 18 hours for a total infusion of 36 grams over 24 hours and 10 minutes).

In patients presenting with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), brain imaging within 2 hours of initiation of study drug and at least one follow-up brain imaging performed 12-24 hours post completion of PB2452 will be required to support adjudication of hemostasis.

All subjects may be discharged from the clinical site between Days 3 and 7 inclusive and will return for a Follow-up visit on Day 7, if already discharged, and on Day 35 (± 3 days). All ICH patients must complete End of Study (EOS) Day 35±3 (Visit 5). ICH patients that agree to participate in the ICH-only-90-day-follow-up visit will have an additional visit on Day 90±10 (Visit 6).

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 12 inclusion and 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 68 sites in China, United States, Canada, Belgium, Spain and 8 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Reversal - Platelet Reactivity Units (PRU) (time frame: 4 hours post-initiation of infusion). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04286438, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Oct 2024.
