The most common type of hypersensitivity reactions to LMWHs are delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions (DHR). Immediate-type hypersensitivity reactions (IHR) occur only sporadically. Cross-reactivity of different LMWHs is a common and unpredictable problem. We present two cases of patients who developed DHR to nadroparin and enoxaparin, respectively. The third case presents a patient who developed IHR to nadroparin. Skin tests confirmed the hypersensitivity in all cases. In the cases of DHR, a skin test negative LMWH was identified and was tolerated in a challenge test. In the IHR case, cross- reactivity to all tested LMWHs was established. We hypothesize that the degree of cross-reactivity might depend on the type of hypersensitivity reaction with immediate reactions linked to more extensive cross-reactivity than delayed reactions. This is important to consider since, at least in some cases, a safe alternative LMWH can be identified. KEYWORDS: Cross-reactivity, Delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions (DHR), Immediate-type hypersensitivity reactions (IHR), Low molecular weight heparins (LMWH), Skin tests Draft https://mc06.manuscriptcentral.com/cjpp-pubs Page 3 of 12 Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology Manuscript text Introduction Low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) are used daily for a variety of indications. Although considered safe medications, hypersensitivity reaction can occur. The most common type of hypersensitivity reactions to LMWHs are delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions (DHR) which are reported in up to 10% of patients (Schindewolf et al. 2009; Schindewolf et al. 2013). Clinical manifestations of DHR include erythematous plaques and maculopapular exanthemas at the injection site. Immediate-type hypersensitivity reactions (IHR) to LMWHs are extremely rare and are limited to case reports (Gonzalez-Delgado and Fernandez 2016; MacLaughlin et al. 2002; Anders and Trautmann 2013; Leguísamo et al. 2015). Clinical manifestations of IHR include urticaria, hypotension, angioedema, pruritus and anaphylaxis. Skin tests including prick and intradermal test followed by a subcutaneous challenge test have been performed to establish the diagnosis of hypersensitivity to LMWHs and are generally recommended (Bircher et al. 2006; Brockow et al. 2013). Testing is contraindicated in cases of heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). The problem of cross-reactivity among different LMWHs has been widely recognised and is reported in the literature in up to 89.7% of patients (Weberschock et al. 2011; Grassegger et al. 2001). Identification of a subset of patients who can tolerate an alternative LMWH after a hypersensitivity reaction to a Draftsingle LMWH would be of great clinical value. However, literature on such successful identifications is limited. Methods Skin test procedures at our Department are based on European Network for Drug Allergy (ENDA) publications (Brockow et al. 2002; Brockow et al. 2013). Prick tests are performed using undiluted commercially available LMWH preparations. Histamine is used as a positive, and 0.9% saline as a negative control. Readings are done after 10 minutes for histamine and after 20 minutes for tested LMWHs. Following negative results, intradermal tests are performed with LMWHs diluted to 1:10. Readings are done after 20 minutes (immediate reading) and on days 2, 3 and 7 (delayed readings). Immediate readings are considered positive if the size of the initial wheal increases by at least 3 mm in diameter after 20 minutes. Delayed readings are considered positive if the presence of infiltrated erythema is observed. After the completion of skin tests, a skin-test negative preparation is chosen for the subcutaneous challenge test. Undiluted LMWH is injected subcutaneously in the lower abdominal area with readings after 20 minute (immediate) and on days 2, 3 and 7 (delayed readings). Results (Case reports) Case No 1 presents a 40-year old female patient with a history of previous exposure to LMWH who developed generalised erythematous itchy plaques in 2015 after the administration of nadroparin prophylactically following knee surgery. The reaction developed after 2 days of nadroparin administration, but the exact time elapsed from the last nadroparin injection to the development of the cutaneous reaction could not be established. She was evaluated at our Department in June 2016. After obtaining a written consent, skin tests to dalteparin, nadroparin and enoxaparin were performed. Following negative prick tests to all tested heparins, intradermal tests (ID) were https://mc06.manuscriptcentral.com/cjpp-pubs Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology Page 4 of 12 performed and immediate readings were positive to nadroparin and dalteparin. Since ID tests to enoxaparin were negative, a subcutaneous challenge test with enoxaparin (1000 IU, 0.1ml) with immediate and delayed readings on days 0, 2, 3 and 7 was performed. All delayed readings were negative. Enoxaparin was well tolerated and provoked neither an immediate nor a delayed skin reaction. The patient was provided with written advice to avoid nadroparin and dalteparin while enoxaparin can be used as indicated. Case No 2 presents a 43-year old female patient who developed a skin reaction (without additional details provided) after 7 days of prophylactic treatment with enoxaparin due to a history of several miscarriages in June 2015. The exact time elapsed from the seventh injection of enoxaparin to the onset of the skin reaction could not be established. After the onset of the reaction the patient was switched to nadroparin. Nadroparin was administered for 2 days but was discontinued due to the persistence of the skin reaction. Further use of LMWHs was not deemed necessary since the patient experienced another miscarriage while on LMWH therapy. She was evaluated at our Department in September 2015. After obtaining a written consent, skin tests to dalteparin, nadroparin and enoxaparin were performed. Following negative prick test, ID test were performed. Immediate readings were negative

The presentations include several containing benzyl alcohol as a preservative and one preservative-free presentation. The first cycle review of the NDA found the application acceptable from a clinical viewpoint. However, manufacturing facilities inspection identified deficiencies that precluded approval and a Complete Response (CR) letter was issued on April 7, 2011. Labeling review was not completed at that time. In the current resubmission the sponsor has responded to the identified deficiencies deleting the two heparin supplier sites where deficiencies were found. The Amended Cross-Discipline Team Leader Review by Dr. Ali Al-Hakim (6/28/2011) comments that Office of Compliance has updated its recommendation in the Establishment Evaluation System and issued “ACCEPTABLE” overall recommendation for this NDA on June 27, 2011 and therefore the NDA is recommended for approval.

  • List Item Refludan : EPAR
    SCIENTIFIC DISCUSSION This module reflects the initial scientific discussion and scientific discussion on procedures which have been finalised before 1 August 2003. For scientific information on procedures after this date please refer to module 8B. I Introduction Refludan contains Lepirudin ([Leu1-Thr2]-63-desulfohirudin) as the active substance. Lepirudin is a hirudin analogue produced in yeast cells transfected with an expression vector containing the hirudin gene. Refludan is presented as a powder to be reconstituted with water for injection or with isotonic saline for intravenous injection or infusion. It is supplied in one strength with a standardised content of 50 mg lepirudin per vial. The specific activity of lepirudin is approximately 16,000 (Antithrombin Units) ATU per mg, where one ATU is the amount of hirudin that neutralises one unit of the WHO preparation of thrombin (89/588). Lepirudin is a specific direct inhibitor of free and clot-bound thrombin and the proposed therapeutic indication is anticoagulation in adult patients with heparin-associated thrombocytopenia (HAT) type II and thromboembolic disease mandating parenteral antithrombotic therapy. HAT type II is a complication of heparin therapy, with a probable incidence of the order of 1% of heparin-treated patients. The disorder is characterised by, sometimes profouauthorisednd, thrombocytopenia and a high propensity for venous and arterial thromboembolic complications occurring during continued heparin treatment. Mortality and amputation rates of 20-30% and 10-20%, respectively, are cited in the more recent literature reviews. The chief underlying pathogenic mechanism seems to be a formation of antibodies directed mainly against a complex of heparin and Platelet Factor 4.

Oral anticoagulants (OA) decrease prothrombin levels and thus interacts with actions of DTIs on the ECT method during concomitant therapy. Materials and methods: Actions of lepirudin, argatroban, and melagatran on ECT were investigated in normal plasma (NP) and in plasma of patients (n = 23 each) on stable therapy with phenprocoumon (OACP). Individual line characteristics were tested statistically. Results: Control ECT in OACP was prolonged compared to NP (50.1±0.9 vs. 45.7±0.8 sec; p < 0.001). Lepirudin prolonged the ECT linearly. Argatroban and melagatran delivered biphasic dose-response curves. OA showed additive effects on the ECT of lepirudin but not of argatroban and melagatran. Both in NP and OACP the first and second slopes of melagatran were steeper compared to argatroban (primary analysis; p<0.001). When using the same drug, slopes in OACP were steeper than in NP (secondary analysis; p<0.001).

  • Collaborative Study on Monitoring Methods to Determine Direct Thrombin Inhibitors Lepirudin and Argatroban
    Collaborative Study On Monitoring Methods To Determine Direct Thrombin Inhibitors Lepirudin And Argatroban On behalf of the Control of Anticoagulation Subcommittee of the Scientific and Standardization Committee of the International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis E. Gray 1 and J Harenberg * SUMMARY Background: Direct thrombin inhibitors are now used clinically for the prophylaxis and treatment of thrombosis and related cardiovascular diseases. Although all these inhibitors bind to thrombin, their modes of action are different. Routine anticoagulant monitoring tests such as the APTT are used to estimate the activity of these inhibitors. However, no studies have been carried out to assess the suitability of these tests. Methods: An international collaborative study was carried out utilising a panel of plasmas spiked with lepirudin and argatroban to evaluate the robustness and the sensitivity of the different monitoring methods. Results: Thirteen laboratories took part in the trial. The point-of-care TAS-analyser, using cards with high or low concentrations of ecarin reagents gave the lowest intra- and inter- laboratory variation. APTT using local or common APTT reagents also showed acceptable within and between-laboratory variations. The chromogenic anti-IIa activity and the wet ecarin clotting time gave higher inter-laboratory variations. The ELISA for lepirudin had the highest inter-laboratory variation. Conclusion: APTT and the TAS-analyser with ECT-cards gave the most reproducible results compared to other methods. Further studies will evaluate the validity for patient samples. INTRODUCTION Direct and indirect serine protease inhibitors are used clinically for inhibition of blood coagulation (1). Direct inhibitors such as hirudin and fondaparinux inhibit individual serine proteases such as thrombin and factor Xa.
