Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients will be eligible for inclusion into the study if they meet all of the
following criteria:
1. Male or female >18 years of age with documented or verbal informed consent
2. History or documentation of ticagrelor intake within the prior 3 days
3. 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
- 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 as directed by ticagrelor labeling 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)
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Known sensitivity or contraindication to PB2452 or any of its excipients
2. 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
3. Patients expected to be clinically unsalvageable, such as, patients with intracranial
hemorrhage with Glasgow Coma Scale ≤ 8, or an intracerebral hematoma volume > 60 cc or
patients with overwhelming sepsis
4. 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 IRBs/Ethics Committees
5. 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,
rivaroxaban, apixaban, or edoxaban within 5 half-lives or expected study drug
administration
6. Known recent use (< 5 day) of vitamin K, prothrombin complex concentrate, recombinant
factor VIIa, whole blood or plasma transfusions, idarucizumab, or andexanet-alfa
(coagulation factor Xa (recombinant), inactivated-zhzo)
Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
