Yazan Abou-Ismail: First FDA-Approved Factor XIa Inhibitor for Stroke Prevention

Yazan Abou-Ismail, Associate Professor of Hematology at the University of Utah, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“An exciting breakthrough in thrombosis prevention!

Factor 11a inhibitors are finally here!

We now have the first ever FDA approved Factor 11a inhibitor.

The FDA just approved asundexian for secondary prevention of non Afib stroke.

Factor 11a inhibition is a brand new mechanism of anticoagulation and major milestone in the #coagulation world.

In the phase III Oceanic Stroke trial, asundexian reduced the relative risk of ischemic stroke by 26 percent when added to antiplatelet therapy, without a statistically significant increase in overall major bleeding.”
