Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Male and female subjects ≥ 18 years
  • Subjects who have received oral vitamin K-antagonist therapy
  • Subjects who have acute major bleeding, defined as one of the following: life-threatening or potentially life-threatening, acute bleeding associated with a fall in hemoglobin (Hb) level ≥ 2g/dL, bleeding requiring blood product transfusion
  • INR ≥ 2 within 3 hours before start of study treatment
  • Informed consent has been obtained

Exclusion

  • Expected survival of less than 3 days, or expected surgery in less than 1 day
  • Acute trauma for which reversal of vitamin K antagonists alone would not be expected to control the acute bleeding event

  • History of thrombotic event, myocardial infarction, disseminated intravascular coagulation, cerebral vascular accident, transient ischemic attack, unstable angina pectoris, or severe peripheral vascular disease within 3 months of enrollment
  • Known history of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome or lupus anticoagulant antibodies
  • Suspected or confirmed sepsis at time of enrollment
  • Administration of whole blood, plasma, plasma fractions or platelets within 2 weeks prior to inclusion into the study
  • Large blood vessel rupture (e.g. in advanced cancer patient)
  • Pre-existing progressive fatal disease with a life expectancy of less than 2 months
  • Known inhibitors to coagulation factors II, VII, IX, or X; or hereditary protein C or protein S deficiency; or heparin-induced, type II thrombocytopenia
  • Treatment with any other investigational medicinal product within 30 days prior to inclusion into the study
  • Presence or history of hypersensitivity to components of the study medication
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding women
  • Prior inclusion in this study or any other CSL Behring-sponsored Beriplex study
