Abstract
ABSTRACT Background Inhibiting the coagulation factor XI (FXI) is a novel strategy for prevention and treatment of thromboembolism without affecting extrinsic coagulation pathways. SHR-2004 is a humanized monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to FXI and factor XIa (FXIa). Research design & methods This randomized, double-blind, dose-escalation, placebo-controlled study evaluated SHR-2004 administered either intravenously (i.v.; Part A) or subcutaneously (s.c.; Part B). In Part A, 24 subjects received a single i.v. dose of SHR-2004 (0.1, 0.3, or 1.0 mg/kg) or placebo. In Part B, 40 subjects received a single s.c. dose of SHR-2004 (0.5, 1.0, 3.0, or 4.5 mg/kg) or placebo. Results SHR-2004 was well tolerated. Plasma exposure to SHR-2004 increased in a dose-dependent manner. The geometric mean half-time ranged from 11.6 to 13.0 days. FXI activity decreased, and the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) was prolonged after i.v. and s.c. administration in a dose- and time-dependent manner. FXI activity was nearly completely abolished immediately after administering the highest i.v. dose, with the average APTT prolonged to nearly three times of baseline. Conclusion SHR-2004 is a promising candidate for further development as an anticoagulant drug that exerts effective anticoagulation with minimal risk of bleeding. Clinical trial registration www.clinicaltrials.gov identifier is NCT05369767.
