A Phase 2, randomized, partially blinded, active-controlled study assessing the efficacy and safety of variable anticoagulation reversal using the REG1 system in patients with acute coronary syndromes: results of the RADAR trial

AimsWe sought to determine the degree of anticoagulation reversal required to mitigate bleeding, and assess the feasibility of using pegnivacogin to prevent ischaemic events in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients managed with an early invasive approach. REG1 consists of pegnivacogin, an RNA aptamer selective factor IXa inhibitor, and its complementary controlling agent, anivamersen. REG1 has not been studied in invasively managed patients with ACS nor has an optimal level of reversal allowing safe sheath removal been defined.
