What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial evaluates the safety and tolerability of a new treatment called FXI-GalNAc-siRNA in healthy individuals. Different groups will receive various doses of the treatment, while some will receive a placebo, a harmless substance used as a control. The trial aims to understand how the body processes the treatment and its effects. Ideal participants are those in good health, without bleeding disorders, and willing to follow specific lifestyle and medication guidelines. As a Phase 1 trial, this research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive it.

Is there any evidence suggesting that FXI-GalNAc-siRNA is likely to be safe for humans?

Research has shown that FXI-GalNAc-siRNA has been safe in previous studies. One study found that a similar treatment was well tolerated, with no major side effects, and it successfully lowered FXI levels in the body without causing problems. Another report confirmed that patients did not experience any serious safety issues, suggesting this treatment is generally safe for people. Although this is a new study, these earlier results suggest that FXI-GalNAc-siRNA might be well-tolerated by participants.12345

Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?

Researchers are excited about FXI-GalNAc-siRNA because it represents a new approach to treating conditions related to blood clotting. Unlike traditional blood thinners that work by targeting different parts of the coagulation process, FXI-GalNAc-siRNA specifically targets and silences the FXI gene, which plays a crucial role in thrombosis. This targeted mechanism may reduce the risk of bleeding compared to current options. Additionally, the treatment is delivered using a GalNAc conjugation, designed to enhance delivery specifically to the liver, where FXI is produced, potentially improving effectiveness and safety.

What evidence suggests that FXI-GalNAc-siRNA could be effective?

Research has shown that FXI-GalNAc-siRNA can lower the activity of Factor XI (FXI), which plays a role in blood clotting. In animal studies, this treatment significantly reduced FXI levels. Earlier research found it could decrease FXI by over 90%, potentially helping to prevent unwanted blood clots. Early human trials reported that the treatment was well tolerated, with few serious side effects. This trial will assess the safety and tolerability of FXI-GalNAc-siRNA in healthy subjects, suggesting it could effectively manage conditions requiring blood clot prevention.12356

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

Healthy men and women aged 18-55, with a BMI between 18 and 32 kg/m2, normal liver function tests, normal Factor XI levels, and no history of significant health issues. Women must not be pregnant or breastfeeding and agree to use two forms of contraception if they can become pregnant. Men also need to use barrier contraception.

Inclusion Criteria

Subjects must have baseline Factor XI plasma levels within normal range as per testing laboratory requirements.
Subjects must be in generally reasonable health with clinically insignificant screening and admission results (medical history, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), physical examination, and laboratory tests), as determined by the Investigator.
I agree to use effective contraception during and up to 140 days after the study.
