Plain English Summary

Background and study aims
In the event of surgery or a major bleed, where temporary interruption with blood-thinning medication can no longer be used, agents like 4F-PCC can reverse the effects of the blood-thinning medications. Medications such as PROTHROMPLEX TOTAL and 4F-PCC are medications which are generally used to quickly reverse the effects of a blood-thinning medicine during a major bleed, or when there is a need for surgery. The aim of this study is to fill the knowledge gaps of PROTHROMPLEX TOTAL and 4F-PCC treatments in patients presenting for surgery or a major bleed.

Who can participate?
Patients aged 18 years and over who had a surgery or a bleeding episode and were receiving a blood-thinning medication and medications such as PROTHROMPLEX TOTAL or another 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (4F-PCC) to reverse the effect of the blood-thinning medication.

What does the study involve?
This is a retrospective chart review study in which the healthcare team at the study site will review patient medical records and collect unidentifiable health information for inputting into a database.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
As this is an observational study, participants will not experience additional risks. Participants will receive no direct individual benefit from participation in this study. The only potential benefit is a better understanding of the use of medications such as PROTHROMPLEX TOTAL or another 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (4F-PCC).

Scientific titleA retrospective chart review study evaluating clinical practice, treatment patterns and outcomes of four-factor prothrombin complex concentrates (4F-PCC) in patients treated with Factor Xa (FXa) inhibitors prior to surgery or invasive procedure and those requiring on-demand reversal for a major bleed
Study acronymTAK-330
Study hypothesisThis study aims to fill knowledge gaps of four-factor prothrombin complex concentrates (4F-PCC) reversal interventions among patients presenting for surgery or a major bleed who are treated with a Factor Xa inhibitor.
Ethics approval(s)

Approved 11/11/2023, East Midlands - Leicester South Research Ethics Committee (2 Redman Place, Stratford, London, E20 1JQ, United Kingdom; +44 (0)207 104 8143; leicestersouth.rec@hra.nhs.uk), ref: 23/EM/0261

ConditionBlood loss, surgical
InterventionData will be collected from the patient's medical records during the pre-treatment period (prior to receiving the first 4F-PCC dose) and post-treatment period (30-90 days after the first 4F-PCC dose). This data from the medical records will be collected based on the routine treatment that this patient is receiving, without any additional tests, procedures, or treatments.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureSurgery indication:
1. Intra-operative hemostatic effectiveness will be regarded as effective or ineffective based on a review of intraoperative documentation
2. Post-operative hemostatic effectiveness within 24 hours after index 4F-PCC infusion will be regarded as effective or ineffective based on a review of postoperative documentation. Absence of post-operative bleeding or oozing will be classified as effective hemostasis.

Bleeding indication:
Hemostatic effectiveness will be measured using the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) criteria, Modified Sarode Criteria, Glasgow Coma Score or NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score within 1 hour, 6 hours, and 24 hours of 4F-PCC infusion.

Change in clinical status over time will be measured using:
1. American College of Surgeons Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) classification of blood loss based on the following signs and symptoms within 1, 6, and 24 hours of index 4F-PCC infusion
2. Clinical opinion based on progress notes for evidence of a change in: a) clinical status and b) amount of bleeding within 1, 6, and 24 hours of index 4F-PCC infusion as worse, no-change (stable), better, or undocumented will be captured for every type of bleed and recurrence of bleeding at the same site as the initial bleed prior to discharge

All outcome measures are collected retrospectively from medical charts
Secondary outcome measuresAs this is an exploratory study, there are no key secondary outcomes that are powered to address any predefined hypothesis. Secondary outcomes data is abstracted from patient chart data.

The secondary objectives are as follows:

Surgery indication:
1. Baseline characteristics, including FXa inhibitor type, dose, and time of last FXa inhibitor dose prior to procedure, anti-FXa level and assay type (calibrated) indication for anticoagulation, concurrent antiplatelet, anticoagulant, prothrombotic and fibrinolytic therapy, and comorbidities of patients who require 4F-PCC reversal therapy of FXa inhibitor anticoagulation during surgical/interventional procedures.
2. Clinical practice patterns, including procedure type, reversal agent administration characteristics (e.g., administration method [IV push, bolus, infusion], dose, concentration, time between reversal agent infusion and initiation of surgery, use of additional doses of reversal agents, and time of administration), use of other interventions for control of hemostasis, i.e., transfusions (e.g., PRBC, FFP transfusions), other pharmacological agents and invasive procedures, reinitiation of anticoagulant therapy within 30-days of index 4F-PCC infusion (type of anticoagulant, dose, time of re-initiation), and method used to monitor anticoagulant therapy (no monitoring, PT, TT, aPTT, anti-FXa assay, ecarin clotting time [ECT], thrombin generation assay [TGA]).

Bleeding indication:
1. Baseline characteristics, including FXa inhibitor type, dose, and time of last FXa inhibitor dose, Anti-FXa level prior to 4F-PCC infusion, indication for anticoagulation, concurrent antiplatelet, anticoagulant, prothrombotic and fibrinolytic therapy, Glasgow Comma Score, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) hematoma volume, and comorbidities of patients who require 4F-PCC reversal therapy of FXa inhibitor anticoagulation for acute major bleeds
2. Clinical practice patterns, including type and location of bleed, reversal agent administration characteristics (e.g., administration method [IV push, bolus, infusion] dose, concentration, use of additional doses of reversal agents, and time of administration), use of other interventions for control of hemostasis, i.e., transfusions, other pharmacological agents and invasive procedures, re-initiation of anticoagulant therapy within 30 days of on-demand 4F-PCC treatment (type of anticoagulant, dose, time of re-initiation), method used to monitor anticoagulant therapy (no monitoring, PT, TT, aPTT, anti-FXa assay, ECT, TGA)
