An Open-label, Randomized, Multicenter Phase IIIb Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerance of BERIPLEX® P/N (Kcentra) Compared With Plasma for Rapid Reversal of Coagulopathy Induced by Vitamin K Antagonists in Subjects Requiring an Urgent Surgical Procedure
United States176 participantsStarted 2009-02
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy, safety and tolerance of Beriplex® P/N (Kcentra) compared with plasma in regard to rapid reversal of coagulopathy induced by vitamin K antagonists in subjects who require immediate correction of international normalized ratio (INR) because of emergency surgery.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Male and female subjects greater than or equal to 18 years,
* Subjects currently on oral vitamin K antagonist (VKA) therapy,
* An urgent surgical procedure is required within 24 hours of the start of investigational medicinal product (IMP),
* Due to the nature of the procedure, withdrawal of oral VKA therapy and infusion of plasma are also indicated to reverse the VKA effect,
* INR greater than or equal to 2 within 3 hours before start of IMP,
* Informed consent has been obtained.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Subjects requiring urgent surgical procedures where according to the surgeon's clinical judgment, an accurate estimate of blood loss is not possible (e.g., ruptured aneurysm),
* Subjects for whom administration of intravenous vitamin K and vitamin K antagonists withdrawal alone can adequately correct the subject's coagulopathy before initiation of the urgent surgical procedure,
* Administration of intravenous vitamin K more than 3 hours or administration of oral vitamin K more than 6 hours prior to infusion of IMP,
* Subjects in whom lowering INR within normal range may present an unacceptable risk for a thromboembolic complication where the INR goal is to lower but not normalize the INR because of risk of a procedure-associated stroke,
* Subjects, who despite medical management that includes close monitoring and diuretics, may not, by investigator assessment, tolerate the total volume of IMP required by the protocol,
* Expected need for additional non-…
