1 No Conflicts of Interest to Report Anticoagulant Reversal Matthew Bondi Pharm.D., BCPS March 14, 2015 Matthew Bondi Pharm.D., BCPS. Clinical Pharmacist Sparrow Hospital Ph Objectives» To review guidelines for reversal of anticoagulation with or without bleeding.» To describe the various agents available for assisting in anticoagulation therapy reversal» To illustrate the use of anticoagulation reversal guidelines through a patient case 54 y/o female with Elevated INR on Admission» HPI MM is a 85 kg, 58yo female with h/o Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Mixed Connective Tissues Disease, h/o CVA, h/o L DVT s/p L BKA, Fibromyalgia, Hypertension, and IBS who comes as a transfer from another Hospital for septic shock.» She initially went to ED late evening on 7/23/13 for severe constant abdominal pain which occurred about 4 hours after ingestion of Bratwurst Sausage. She also had some nausea and vomiting x2 as well.» Her labs at the other hospital showed:» ALP 259, AST 85, ALT 45, Total Bili 1.4, Albumin 4.2, Creatinine 1.3, BUN 22, Hgb 13.6, Troponin 0.012, INR 9.12, aptt 52.7,» WBC 13.9, U/A with many bacteria with large amt Leukocyte Esterase and Positive Nitrite. 54 y/o female with Elevated INR on Admission» She was started on IV ceftriaxone and her BP continued to drop to SBP in 70s» She was transferred to Sparrow ICU for further management.» In examination, she complains of abdominal pain and diffuse joint pain from her arthritis as well. She denies any pain with urination, however does have some lower abdominal pain as well. She appears to be drowsy and her BP is in 50 60s despite levophed 30mcg.» Pharmacy was contacted for anticoagulation reversal» Patient needs central line and arterial line. Reversal of What?» Unfractionated Heparin» LMWH» Warfarin» Direct Thrombin Inhibitors» Factor Xa Inhibitors» Antiplatelet agents Speaker: Matthew Bondi, PharmD 1

2 Why Reverse?»Emergent Reversal vs. Periprocedural»Bleeding vs. non bleeding»high INR vs. Low INR»Heparin vs. LMWH vs. VKA vs. Target Directed Choice of Reversal Strategy»Pharmacology of the agent»clinical urgency»severity of bleeding Comparison of Select Reversal Agents Heparin and LMWH» Heparin and Low Molecular Weight Heparins (LMWH) (i.e. enoxaparin (Lovenox )» Indications» DVT/PE» Afib» ACS» Warfarin bridge Anticoagulation Therapy: A Point of Care Guide edited by William E. Dager, Michael P. Gulseth, Edith A. Nutescu Protamine for Heparin Reversal» Mechanism» Anticoagulant when given w/o heparin» Forms a stable complex with heparin neutralizing anticoagulant effects of both» Dosing» 1 mg protamine neutralizes 100 units of heparin» Max single dose: 50 mg»infusions: count amount given in preceding hours»reduce dose as elapsed time since heparin given increases Protamine for LMWH Reversal»Can t fully reverse»excessive protamine doses may worsen bleeding»reduce dose as elapsed time since LMWH given increases» Enoxaparin (Lovenox ) reversal»<8 hours 1 mg protamine = 1 mg enoxaparin»> 8 hours 0.5 mg protamine = 1 mg enoxaparin Speaker: Matthew Bondi, PharmD 2

4 Administration of Protamine Oral Anticoagulants» Inject slowly; further dilution unnecessary» Max of 50 mg over 10 minutes» Repeat aptt 5 15 minutes after dose, redose prn» Too rapid administration» Hypotension» Anaphylactic reactions» Heparin neutralization in 5 mins» May be diluted in D5W or NS Fresh Frozen Plasma Fresh Frozen Plasma Procoagulant Factors Cryoprecipitate Prothrombin Complex Concentrate Activated Prothrombin Complex Concentrate rfviia» Obtained from human blood» Contains all the clotting factors» Dosing based on weight» Expressed as the volume or # of units of the product.» ml/kg % increase in plasma levels of clotting factors. Fresh Frozen Plasma» Clinical practice: 2 units commonly prescribed.» Could be inadequate for patients with larger body weight» mL per unit» Potentially large fluid volume»can be beneficial in patient with volume loss»could be problematic in patient with fluid overload.» Disadvantages Fresh Frozen Plasma» Need for thawing: delays administration» Large fluid volume» Potential (although low) risk of transmission of infectious disease» Transfusion reactions» Takes longer to work than other options Speaker: Matthew Bondi, PharmD 3

5 Prothrombin Complex Concentrates» Concentrated pooled plasma products» Contain 3 or 4 factors» Activated versus not activated» Also may contain Proteins C,S and Z» Regulate the effects of coagulation factors» In some cases have heparin and antithrombin Prothrombin Complex Concentrates» 3 factor PCCs» Bebulin» Profilnine SD» Factors II,IX, and X» Still contains factor VII but insignificant» Activation required via the coagulation cascade. 3 Factor PCC: Bebulin» Part of Rapid Reversal Protocol» INR > 20 or serious bleeding» Life threatening bleeding regardless of INR» Concomitant use of FFP and Vit K» Dosing of PCC is currently a recommendation of 30 units/kg Prothrombin Complex Concentrate» The concentrations of the clotting factors in the products varies depending on manufacture and lot» Doses are always expressed in units of the factor IX component.» Round to nearest vial size available Comparison of PCCs to FFP» Correct the INR more rapidly than FFP» Prep time for PCCs is shorter» Higher concentration of clotting factors» Thrombotic events possible with PCCs Speaker: Matthew Bondi, PharmD 4

6 » Effectiveness of PCC for rapid reversal of INR in patients with AAICH» Used a 3 Factor PCC Profilnine» Retrospective analysis of 19 patients with AAICH Jan 2005 through May 2006» Compared» patients treated with FFP + Vit K» Patients treated with PCC + FFP + Vit K» Mean INR on admission for both groups» Time to reach the mean target INR for both groups» # of patient at Target INR in 3 4 hours.» Reported death, and thrombotic complications» Treatment Protocol for FFP Group» Hold all Anticoagulants» Vit K 10mg IV» FFP ml/kg» INR checked at presentation» INR checked at completion of therapy» 2 3 hours after initiation of therapy» FFP repeated if required» Serial INRs obtained at 2 3 hours until target INR» Treatment Protocol for PCC Group» Hold all anticoagulants» Vit K 10 mg IV» Profilnine (PCC)» 25 units/kg IVP INR < 4» 50 units/kg IVP INR >4» Further doses after INR check 3 hours after initial dose.» FFP given same as FFP group» INR checked at presentation» INR checked at completion of therapy (Profilnine)» 1 2 hours after initiation of therapy» Serial INRs obtained at 2 3 hours until target INR» Results» No difference in initial INR between groups» Significant reduction in INR was observed in both groups after respective therapy» FFP + Vit K» 1.84 ± 0.31 to a mean value 1.34 ± 0.08 (p<0.05)» PCC + FFP + VitK» 2.44 ± 1.48 to a mean value 1.34 ± 0.07 (p<0.005)» Results» 3 patients in FFP group (33%) and 8 in the PCC group (80%) reached their target INR in 3 4 hours after initiation of therapy (p=0.012)» Time to reach INR of 1.4 or less (p < 0.05)» FFP group = 8.52 ± 5.6 h» PCC group = 4.25 ± 2.12 h Speaker: Matthew Bondi, PharmD 5

7 4 Factor PCCs» Conclusions» PCC is effective in rapidly reversing the effects of anticoagulation both in terms of absolute time required and the rate of correction of INR.» The use of PCC in combination with FFP and Vit K results in decreased time required for correction of coagulopathy in emergency situations compared to FFP and Vit K alone.» Factors II, IX, X and VII» Activation required via the coagulation cascade» Available in Europe and Canada for several years» Available in US since spring Factor PCCs 3 vs. 4 Factor PCC products» Lack of studies comparing activity of 3 factor PCCs to 4 factor PCCs» Lack of studies evaluating clinical outcomes of the PCCs.» Thrombotic complications» VTE, DIC, microvascular thrombosis» MI Included 18 Studies representing 654 patients ICH, Urgent Surgery, Invasive procedure or GI Bleeding No RCCT; No direct comparisons Typically Elderly Patients Baseline INRs 3PCC : 3.3 to 5.1 4PCC : 2.3 greater than 20 INR within 1 hour of PCC administration 3PCC: 1.2 to 1.9 4PCC: 1 to 1.9 Speaker: Matthew Bondi, PharmD 6
