Can a clotting drug stop bleeding in patients on blood thinners?

NCT ID NCT04867837

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested a drug called OCTAPLEX to stop major bleeding in people taking blood thinners (factor Xa inhibitors). The trial planned to enroll 100 patients and compare two different doses. Unfortunately, the study was terminated early, so we have less information than hoped. The goal was to see if OCTAPLEX could safely and effectively control bleeding in these emergency situations.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

OCTAPLEX (a blood clotting concentrate)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a way to quickly reverse the effects of certain blood thinners during life-threatening bleeding.

What could go wrong

The study was terminated early, so results are limited. It only included patients on specific blood thinners, so findings may not apply to everyone.
