MODULATION OF FACTOR Xa INHIBITOR-MEDIATED BLOOD LOSS BY PARTIAL AND TRANSIENT ADMINISTRATION OF ANTIDOTE
The present disclosure provides unit dose formulations and methods to reduce, stop or prevent bleeding in a patient undergoing anticoagulant therapy with a factor Xa inhibitor. The methods entail at least partial neutralization of the factor Xa inhibitors. The unit dose formulations and methods of the present disclosure can be effective even after actual bleeding has initiated.
1 . A unit dose formulation for neutralizing a factor Xa inhibitor, comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and from about 25 milligrams to about 95 milligrams of a two-chain polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. 3.
2 .- 9 . (canceled)
10 . A method of preventing, reducing, or ceasing bleeding in a subject undergoing anticoagulant therapy with a direct factor Xa inhibitor comprising administering to the subject an injection of a unit dose formulation of claim 1 .
11 .- 12 . (canceled)
13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the direct factor Xa inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of NAP-5, rNAPc2, tissue factor pathway inhibitor, DX-9065a, YM-60828, YM-150, apixaban, rivaroxaban, TAK-442, PD-348292, otamixaban, edoxaban, LY517717, GSK913893, razaxaban, betrixaban or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and combinations thereof.
14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the direct factor Xa inhibitor is betrixaban.
15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the direct factor Xa inhibitor is rivaroxaban.
16 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the direct factor Xa inhibitor is apixaban.
17 .- 33 . (canceled)
34 . A method of reducing or ceasing bleeding in a subject having received an anticoagulant therapy with a factor Xa inhibitor and experiencing clinically relevant bleeding, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a formulation comprising a two-chain polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. 3.
35 . The method of claim 34 , wherein the administration comprises an injection of the formulation.
36 . The method of claim 34 , wherein the administration is at least about 5 minutes after the blood loss has initiated.
37 .- 40 . (canceled)
41 . The method of claim 34 , wherein therapeutically effective amount is about 25 milligrams to about 95 milligrams.
