Background: TB-402 is a partially inhibiting antibody of factor VIII that is under development as a long-acting anticoagulant.

Patients And Methods: The reversibility of FVIII inhibition by TB-402 was evaluated in vitro after spiking with recombinant human FVIII (rhFVIII), human plasma-derived FVIII (hpdFVIII), recombinant activated human FVII (rhFVIIa), FVIII inhibitor bypassing activity (FEIBA), and prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC). Twelve subjects were randomized to placebo or 35 or 70 IU kg(-1) rhFVIII 48 h after a single dose of 620 μg kg(-1) TB-402. TB-402 concentrations, FVIII activity (FVIII:C), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and thrombin generation were measured over a period of 8 weeks.

Results: In spiked samples, TB-402 inhibited FVIII:C by 30%, prolonged APTT by 4.5 s, and reduced the peak height in the thrombin generation assay to 56% ± 13% of the control value. In the presence of 10 μg mL(-1) TB-402, rhFVIII restored FVIII:C and APTT to the values obtained in the absence of TB-402. The inhibitory effect of TB-402 on thrombin generation was entirely reversed by rhFVIII, hpdFVIII, rhFVIIa, FEIBA, and PCC. In men, the mean half-life (t(1/2) ) of TB-402 was 14.2 days. TB-402 lowered the endogenous thrombin potential by 23% for ~ 35 days. Infusion of 35 IU kg(-1) rhFVIII had a marginal effect, whereas 70 IU kg(-1) rhFVIII restored FVIII:C, reduced APTT back to baseline for 9 h, and restored thrombin generation for ~ 3 h.

Conclusions: TB-402 resulted in a stable long-term anticoagulant effect. rhFVIII and other procoagulants counteracted the effect of TB-402 temporarily, and may be effective antidotes for future clinical practice.

Red blood cells (RBCs) serve as natural transporters and can be modified to enhance the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a protein cargo. Affinity targeting of Factor IX (FIX) to the RBC membrane is a promising approach to improve the (pro)enzyme's pharmacokinetics. For RBC targeting, purified human FIX was conjugated to the anti-mouse glycophorin A monoclonal antibody Ter119.

Antibodies to β2-glycoprotein I (β2GPI) cause thrombosis in antiphospholipid syndrome, however the role of β2GPI in coagulation in vivo is not understood. To address this issue, we developed β2GPI-deficient mice (Apoh-/-) by deleting exon 2 and 3 of Apoh using CRISPR/Cas9 and compared the development of thrombosis in wild-type (WT) and Apoh-/- mice using rose bengal and FeCl3-induced carotid thrombosis, laser-induced cremaster arteriolar injury, and inferior vena cava (IVC) stasis models. We also compared tail bleeding times and activation of platelets from WT and Apoh-/- mice in the absence and presence of β2GPI.

Background: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have procoagulative properties. As EVs are known to accumulate in stored blood products, we compared the EV content and coagulation capacity of leukoreduced cold-stored whole blood (CSWB) with current prehospital and in-hospital component therapies to understand the role of EVs in the haemostatic capacity of ageing CSWB.

Materials And Methods: Blood was obtained from 12 O RhD-positive male donors.

No correlation between thrombin generation and emicizumab levels: implications for monitoring emicizumab therapy.

Background: Emicizumab, a bispecific antibody that mimics factor (F)VIII, has significantly improved hemophilia A management. Although emicizumab levels can be measured, tools for estimating the hemostatic efficacy of emicizumab are lacking. Thrombin generation (TG) assays can distinguish bleeding phenotypes in persons with hemophilia A on FVIII prophylaxis and may also be used during emicizumab therapy.

The hemostatic function of platelets is complementary to blood coagulation. However, traditional platelet function tests have primarily focused on measuring platelet aggregation, reducing their clinical effectiveness for antiplatelet drug monitoring. To address this limitation, we propose a new test principle that evaluates platelet function and the effects of antiplatelet drugs through blood coagulation reactions.
