1. A specific antidote for reversal of anticoagulation by direct and indirect inhibitors of coagulation factor Xa Lu G, Deguzman FR, Hollenbach SJ, et al.

2. A specific antidote for reversal of anticoagulation by direct and indirect inhibitors of coagulation factor Xa 2 Background Noval oral anticoagulants (factor Xa & IIa inhibitors) widely used Higher incidence for (GI-)bleeding Until now no antidote for nOAC Management of bleeding difficult; Vitamin K, tranexamin acid, FFP, rfVIIa, PCC not effective -> presentation of a recombinant agent antagonizing factor Xa -> proof of concept with in vitro & in vivo investigations

3. A specific antidote for reversal of anticoagulation by direct and indirect inhibitors of coagulation factor Xa 3 Recombinant Antidote (r-antidote) Truncated form of enzymatically inactive fXa Lacks GLA domain, catalytically inactive due to mutation in serine residue Mature functional form, expressed in chinese hamster ovary Aspects to prove: Specific binding to fXa? Reversal of anticoagulation? pro- or antithrombotic properties? Reduce loss of bleeding?

4. A specific antidote for reversal of anticoagulation by direct and indirect inhibitors of coagulation factor Xa 4 r-Antidote: in vitro-essays Reversal of anticoagulation in human plasma: clotting assay & thrombin generation assay: high affinity for fXa-inhibitors Inhibitory activity dose- dependently and completely reversed by r-Antidote no pro- or anticoagulant activity

5. A specific antidote for reversal of anticoagulation by direct and indirect inhibitors of coagulation factor Xa In vivo rat model - reversal of anticoagulation 5 Rapid normalisation of INR after r-antidote infusion Reversal of anticoagulation correlates to reduction of unbound fXa-inhibitor-fraction

6. A specific antidote for reversal of anticoagulation by direct and indirect inhibitors of coagulation factor Xa Mouse model of blood loss (tail transection) ASS+Rivar.+r-antidote reduced blood loss by 85% After r-antidote rivaroxaban activity reduced by >80% 6 Treat-I: vehicle + vehicle + vehicle Treat-II: vehicle + rivaroxaban + vehicle Treat-III: ASA + vehicle + vehicle Treat-IV: ASA + rivaroxaban + vehicle Treat-V: ASA + rivaroxaban + r- Antidote

7. A specific antidote for reversal of anticoagulation by direct and indirect inhibitors of coagulation factor Xa Rabbit model of blood loss (liver laceration model) Laceration of 2 liver lobes and blood loss collection over 15min after injection of vehicle or rivaroxaban and r-antidote 7 PT & aPTT increased 2.3x resp. 1.9x after rivaroxaban, blood loss 3.2x higher r-Antidote reduced blood loss by >85%, decreased anti-fXa activity by 98% Correlation of blood loss with reduction in anti-fXa-activity an free fXa-inhibiton

8. A specific antidote for reversal of anticoagulation by direct and indirect inhibitors of coagulation factor Xa Reversal of ATIII-dependent fXa inhibitors by r-antidote r-antidote mimicking binding-site of fXa for ATIII Enoxaparin (LMWH) & Fondaparinux (pentasaccharide) indirect fXa inhibitor (increase affinity of ATIII for fXa) 8 FondaparinuxEnoxaparin anti-fXa activitiy of enoxaparin & fondaparinux dose-dependently reversed with r-antidote

9. A specific antidote for reversal of anticoagulation by direct and indirect inhibitors of coagulation factor Xa Reversal of ATIII-dependent fXa inhibitors by r-antidote Animal model (rat tail transection) 9 Treat-I: vehicle Treat-II: Enoxaparin & vehicle Treat-III Enoxaparin & r-antidote 2mg/h Treat-IV: Enoxaparin & r-antidote 4mg/h Enoxaparin Treat-I: vehicle Treat-II: Fondaparinux & vehicle Treat-III Fondaparinux & r-antidote Treat-IV: fondaparinux & Protamine Normalisation of hemostasis after r-antidote administration Complete reversal of ATIII-dependent fXa inhibition

10. A specific antidote for reversal of anticoagulation by direct and indirect inhibitors of coagulation factor Xa 10 Discussion r-antidote does not interfere with normal fXa function r-antidote with no anticoagulant or procoagulant activity Rapid onset of action & complete reversal of fXa-inhibitors activity Normalises hemostasis from anticoagulant drugs targeting fXa Universal antidote for direct & indirect fXa inhibition Limitations Possible that used in vitro system are not sensitive enough Preclinical data based on animal model, difficulties to extrapolate to humans unidentified interactions with other proteins immunogenicity

11. A specific antidote for reversal of anticoagulation by direct and indirect inhibitors of coagulation factor Xa 11 Conclusion r-antidote capable to reverse nOAC-induced bleedings Rapid onset of action will have major impact in future daily practice (bleeding management, surgical procedures) Increase safety of using fXa-inhibiting drugs. Phase II-study running Further studies (antidote IIa-inhibitor, unviversal fIIa & fXa-antidote) on the way
