Comparaison entre l'andexanet alpha et le CCP (PPSB) dans le traitement des hémorragies majeures sous inhibiteurs du FXa : une méta-analyse.

Background: Andexanet alfa (andexanet) and prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) are both reversal agents for major bleeding in patients using factor Xa inhibitors (FXaIs). Our aim was to evaluate the current evidence for the effectiveness and safety of andexanet and PCC in a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: Primary objective was hemostatic effectiveness. Secondary objectives were thromboembolic event rate and mortality.

Methods: A systematic review was performed in PubMed and Embase. Studies describing the effectiveness and/or safety of PCC or andexanet in patients with major bleeding using FXaIs were included. Meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model.

Results: Seventeen PCC studies, 3 andexanet studies, and 1 study describing PCC and andexanet were included, comprising 1428 PCC-treated and 396 andexanet-treated patients. None of the included studies had control groups, hampering a pooled meta-analysis to compare the two reversal agents. Separate analyses for andexanet and PCC were performed. In subgroup analysis, the pooled proportion of patients with effective hemostasis in studies that used Annexa-4 criteria demonstrated a hemostatic effectiveness of 0.85 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.80-0.90) in PCC and 0.82 (95% CI, 0.78-0.87) in andexanet studies. The pooled proportion of patients with thromboembolic events was 0.03 (95% CI, 0.02-0.04) in PCC and 0.11 (95% CI, 0.04-0.18) in andexanet studies.

Conclusion: Based on the available evidence with low certainty from observational studies, PCC and andexanet demonstrated a similar, effective hemostasis in the treatment of major bleeding in patients using FXaIs. Compared to PCC, the thromboembolic event rate appeared higher in andexanet-treated patients.
