Antineoplastic activity of GP-2250 in-vitro and in mouse xenograft models.

This study examined the antineoplastic effects of GP-2250 (misetionamide), an oxathiazine derivative with broad activity, in multiple cancer cell lines and mouse xenograft models. Antineoplastic activity of GP-2250 was tested in >300 cancer cell lines using the OncoPanel cytotoxicity assay. GP-2250 activity was further tested in mouse xenograft models, in which GP-2250 or vehicle (10 ml/kg) was administered daily for 28 days by intraperitoneal injection in the lower right abdomen of CrTac:NCR-Foxn1nu mice with tumor volumes of 100 to 200 mm 3 .

Single-dose ciraparantag safely and completely reverses anticoagulant effects of edoxaban.

Of the new direct oral anticoagulants, direct factor Xa inhibitors are limited by the absence of a proven reversal agent. We assessed the safety, tolerability and impact on anticoagulation reversal of ciraparantag (PER977) alone and following a 60 mg dose of the FXa inhibitor edoxaban. Escalating, single IV doses of ciraparantag were administered alone and following a 60 mg oral dose of edoxaban in a double-blind, placebo-controlled fashion to healthy subjects.

Ciraparantag safely and completely reverses the anticoagulant effects of low molecular weight heparin.

Unlabelled: Major bleeding with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) therapy occurs in up to 5% of patients and its anticoagulation is only partially reversed by protamine sulfate. We studied the ability of ciraparantag (PER977), a novel agent that reverses LMWH in preclinical studies, to reverse LMWH in healthy volunteers.

Methods: In this phase 1/2 trial, 4 cohorts of 10 healthy volunteers received escalating doses of ciraparantag (100 to 300mg) or placebo (8:2 ratio) approximately 4h after a single subcutaneous dose of enoxaparin, 1.
