Clinical Trials

Multiple clinical trials evaluate the small-molecule coagulation factor XIa inhibitor asundexian across Phase 1, Phase 3, and unstated study phases, primarily sponsored by Bayer alongside healthcare organizations like the East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust. These studies assess conditions including atrial fibrillation, acute non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke, high-risk transient ischemic attack, acute myocardial infarction, hepatic impairment, and fibrinolysis. Across these trials, recruitment statuses encompass active recruitment, completed studies, and terminated protocols.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Asundexian reversibly binds to the active site of human coagulation factor XIa with high affinity (IC50 = 1 nM), potently blocking its enzymatic activity to suppress the intrinsic coagulation cascade and downstream thrombin generation. By attenuating factor XIa-driven thrombus amplification while sparing primary hemostasis, asundexian reduces pathologic clot formation to prevent thromboembolic events such as ischemic stroke and systemic embolism in clinical settings like atrial fibrillation.
