Characteristics, mechanism of action, and pharmacologic properties of FXI and FXII inhibitors

Mechanism of action Route of administration Onset of action Half-life Administration frequency Renal excretion Metabolism by CYP Potential for food and drug interactions
DNA aptamers: 11.16, 12.7, and FELIAP Bind over large surface areas on a target protein and block specific macromolecular interactions IV or SC Rapid (minutes to hours) Short (minutes to hours) Daily No No No
ASOs: IONIS FXI-Rx (ISIS 416858) and fesomersen Inhibit the biosynthesis of FXI SC Slow (weeks) Long (weeks) Once weekly to once monthly No No No
Antibodies
Abelacimab (MAA868) Binds to the catalytic domain of FXI and locks it in the inactive zymogen conformation, preventing its activation by FXII/thrombin IV or SC Rapid (hours) Long (weeks) Once monthly No No No
Osocimab (BAY 1213790) Binds next to the active site of FXIa and inhibits the activation of factor IX IV or SC Rapid (hours) Long (30-44 days) Once monthly No No No
Xisomab (AB023) Inhibits FXIIa- mediated activation of FXI but not FXI activation by thrombin IV Rapid (hours) Days to weeks, half-life increases with high doses Once monthly No No No
Garadacimab (CSL312) Binds to the catalytic domain of FXIIa and inhibits its protease activity IV or SC Rapid (hours) Long (weeks) Once monthly No No No
Small molecules
Milvexian (BMS-986177/JNJ-70033093) Active site-directed inhibitor of FXI Oral Rapid (minutes to hours)
Saturable absorption with doses ≥300  mg
Short (terminal half-life 8.3-13.8 hours) Once or twice daily Yes, <20% Yes Yes
Asundexian (BAY 2433334) Active site-directed inhibitor of FXI Oral Rapid (minutes to hours) Short (terminal half-life 15.8-17.8 hours) Once daily Yes, <15% Yes Yes

CYP, cytochrome P450; IV intravenous; SC, subcutaneous.
