Results of the first-ever cost-effectiveness study of a Factor XI inhibitor were presented today during sessions of the Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) annual meeting.

Key Points: 
  • Results of the first-ever cost-effectiveness study of a Factor XI inhibitor were presented today during sessions of the Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) annual meeting.
  • The analysis indicates that abelacimab could offer a potential cost-savings of $50,000 USD and improvements of 1.5 quality-adjusted life years (QALY’s) per person over a lifetime horizon as compared to rivaroxaban, a commonly used direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC).
  • If approved by US regulatory authorities, abelacimab could be a highly cost-effective anticoagulant option.
  • The great promise of a factor XI inhibitor such as abelacimab, rests largely with the ability to prevent thrombosis with minimal disruption of hemostasis.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- FloBio, a medical diagnostics company, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted Breakthrough Device Designation for its rapid bleeding risk diagnostic test. The FDA recognizes that the device will provide for more effective treatment or diagnosis of life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating diseases or conditions. FloBio's test determines blood clotting status and whether a patient is on popular blood thinners called Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs). This information would help emergency and critical care clinicians make informed treatment decisions about drug reversal to reduce serious bleeding, a major cause of preventable complications and death in US hospitals.

Atrial Fibrillation Study with Abelacimab Stopped Early by the Data Monitoring Committee Due to an Overwhelming Reduction in Bleeding as Compared to a DOAC (Direct Oral Anticoagulant)

Retrieved on: 
월요일, 9월 18, 2023

The study has been stopped early by the Data Monitoring Committee due to an overwhelming reduction in the composite of major and clinically relevant non-major bleeding in patients taking abelacimab compared with patients taking rivaroxaban, a leading standard-of-care DOAC.

Key Points:

  • In addition, abelacimab is the first and only Factor XI inhibitor to demonstrate an unprecedented reduction in major bleeding compared to a DOAC, which is the most serious type of bleeding.
  • “The AZALEA-TIMI 71 study is the largest and longest head-to-head study of a Factor XI inhibitor to provide definitive evidence of a highly significant reduction in bleeding as compared to the standard-of-care anticoagulant.
  • Abelacimab 150 mg maintains ~98% inhibition over the dosing interval, recapitulating the benign bleeding profile of patients with genetic Factor XI deficiency.
