The RE-VERSE AD trial is an ongoing multicenter, prospective cohort study that looks at patients who are chronic users of Pradaxa. There was an immediate reduction (within minutes) of the effect of Pradaxa after administration of 5 g of Praxbind. Praxbind was studied in three randomized trials in 283 healthy volunteers taking Pradaxa. The FDA granted accelerated approval for Praxbind to be used in patients taking Pradaxa who need a reversal of its effects for emergency surgical procedures or life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding. This prevents Pradaxa from blocking thrombin so the body can resume its normal clotting mechanism. Praxbind is a monoclonal antibody fragment that binds Pradaxa 350 times more strongly than thrombin. Pradaxa works by binding thrombin, the blood’s natural clotting agent, thus preventing clots from forming. Praxbind ( idarucizumab ) is an injectable drug that reverses the anticoagulation (blood thinning) effect of Pradaxa (dabigatran). What is Praxbind and its mechanism of action? Medication Class: humanized monoclonal antibody fragment
