A randomised study in healthy volunteers to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of idarucizumab, a specific antidote to dabigatran. Safety, tolerability, and efficacy of idarucizumab for the reversal of the anticoagulant effect of dabigatran in healthy male volunteers: a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind phase 1 trial. FDA has granted accelerated approval to Praxbind (idarucizumab) for the emergency reversal of anticoagulant Pradaxa.

Edoxaban (Savaysa) – the fourth new oral anticoagulant.

Dabigatran etexilate (Pradaxa) - a new oral anticoagulant.

Praxbind (idarucizumab) is a humanized monoclonal antibody fragment (Fab) indicated in patients treated with Pradaxa® (dabigatran) when reversal of the anticoagulant effects of dabigatran is needed for emergency surgery/urgent procedures and in life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding. The FDA approved Pradaxa in 2010 to prevent stroke and systemic blood clots in patients with atrial fibrillation, as well as for the treatment and prevention of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. After diagnosis, overall survival (OS) is poor, elicited by the lack of an effective treatment. On October 16th, the FDA approved the use of idarucizumab (Praxbind), a monoclonal antibody developed by Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals for the reversal of dabigatran. Treatment for: Reversal Agent for Pradaxa This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on a reduction in unbound dabigatran and normalization of coagulation parameters in healthy.
