Abstrakt: We investigated whether the anticoagulant effect of idraparinux, a selective long-acting factor Xa inhibitor, could be neutralized by recombinant factor VIIa (rFVIIa) in healthy male volunteers. We performed a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, comparing idraparinux [7.5 mg subcutaneous (s.c.)] followed at 3 h by rFVIIa [90 microg/kg intravenous (i.v.)] (n = 6), or idraparinux (7.5 mg s.c) followed after 1 week by rFVIIa (90 microg/kg i.v.)(n = 6). rFVIIa, given 3 h after idraparinux, significantly reversed the increased thrombin generation time (TGT), the increased activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and prothrombin time (PT), and the reduced prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2) levels caused by idraparinux, although no clear effect of rFVIIa on the endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) was observed. One week after idraparinux, injection of rFVIIa resulted in a similar relative reduction of the remaining increased aPTT, PT and TGT, with correction to pre-idraparinux values. A clear increase of F1+2 was observed, together with a small increase in ETP. We conclude that rFVIIa has significant effects on the idraparinux-inhibited thrombin generation and clotting parameters. These results suggest that rFVIIa may be useful in serious bleeding complications in idraparinux treated patients.
