Science of Coagulation
Blood coagulation is an important part of the host defense mechanism required for repair and maintenance of the circulatory system. This complex and multifactorial process has been described to contain two parallel but distinct pathways; hemostasis and thrombosis.
Why Factor XIa?
Factor XIa is a clinically-validated target for the prevention of thrombosis by selectively inhibiting the activation of the intrinsic (contact) pathway, without impacting normal hemostasis (bleeding) through the extrinsic pathway.
