Abstract
Current treatments for preventing thrombotic disease are still inconvenient and associated with a high risk of bleeding. Improved anticoagulant agents are therefore required. TB-402 is a monoclonal antibody (fully human IgG4-antibody) that targets factor VIII (FVIII) and represents a novel type of anticoagulant agent. In vitro, TB-402 only partially inhibits human FVIII even when TB-402 is in excess over FVIII. Preclinical studies confirmed this plateau inhibition and also established the antithrombotic efficacy of TB-402 (
