For people with atrial fibrillation (Afib), investigational abelacimab proved to be a potent dual factor XI/XIa inhibitor with much lower safety risks compared with a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC), ...

Researchers have found that Factor XI inhibitors, such as abelacimab, reduce bleeding risks in atrial fibrillation patients more effectively than standard anticoagulants.

Abelacimab, a factor XI inhibitor, demonstrated a 62–69% reduction in major bleeding compared to rivaroxaban in atrial fibrillation patients at moderate-to-high stroke risk, with comparable safety and ...

Researchers evaluated a drug that represents a new class of anticoagulants known as Factor XI inhibitors for treating patients with atrial fibrillation as part of the AZALEA-TIMI 71 Study. The trial ...
