Betrixaban (trade name Bevyxxa) is an oral anticoagulant drug which acts as a direct factor Xa inhibitor.[1] Betrixaban is FDA approved for venous thrombosis prevention in adults hospitalized for an acute illness who are at risk for thromboembolic complications.[2] Compared to other directly acting oral anticoagulants betrixaban has relatively low renal excretion and is not metabolized by CYP3A4.[3]

History

[edit]

Betrixaban was originally developed by Millennium Pharmaceuticals. Portola Pharmaceuticals acquired rights for betrixaban in 2004 and co-developed it with Merck. In 2011 Merck discontinued joint development.[4]

The drug has undergone clinical trials for prevention of embolism after knee surgery[5] and for prevention of stroke following non-valvular atrial fibrillation.[6][7] Betrixaban was also studied in a large phase III clinical trial for extended duration thromboprophylaxis in acute ill patients.[8] Previously apixaban and rivaroxaban have failed to show positive risk/benefit ratio in this indication compared to enoxaparin.[9][10][non-primary source needed] APEX trial compared betrixaban with enoxaparin and included 7513 patients. Lower rate of VTE events was found in betrixaban arm with no increase in major bleedings compared to enoxaparin.[11] Based on these results betrixaban was approved by FDA on June 23, 2017, becoming the first DOAC approved for extended prophylaxis in hospitalized patients.[12]

Betrixaban has been also reviewed by EMA but didn't receive marketing approval in EU mainly due to concerns of increased bleeding risk and absence of reversal agent.[13]
