Portola Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Research Report
On November 25, 2013, Portola Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Portola) announced that it has been granted breakthrough therapy designation for andexanet alfa, its investigational Factor Xa inhibitor antidote, by the US FDA. "The FDA's decision to designate andexanet alfa as a breakthrough therapy reaffirms the urgent need for an antidote to Factor Xa inhibitors, and we believe it demonstrates that andexanet alfa's properties and data distinguish it from currently used agents or others in development," said William Lis, Portola's CEO. "Pro-coagulant agents being used in the absence of an antidote are unproven, have limited biological rationale for their effectiveness to reverse Factor Xa inhibitors, and have been shown to cause serious blood clots. Therefore, andexanet alfa marks an important advance in the field, and our goal is to bring it to market as quickly as possible."
