Sirius Therapeutics Announces Promising Phase I Clinical Data from Its Factor XI siRNA, a Long-Acting Next-Generation Anticoagulant for Thromboembolic Disorders
Data presented at American Society of Hematology annual meeting
Sirius Therapeutics today announced promising preliminary data from its Phase 1 first-in-human clinical trial of SRSD107, a next generation siRNA therapeutics under clinical development for the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic disorders, such as myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and venous thromboembolism. The trial data were presented during a poster session at the 66th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in San Diego, CA.
SRSD107 is designed to inhibit Factor XI (FXI), a protein in the coagulation pathway that has shown potential to reduce thrombosis without significantly increasing the risk of bleeding, a major liability of current drugs.
“In this trial, SRSD107 was safe and well tolerated, with pharmacokinetic parameters consistent with a typical siRNA product,” said Dr. Patrick Yue, Sirius’ Chief Medical Officer. “We are encouraged by the marked, prolonged reduction in FXI antigen and activity, and increase in clotting, or thromboplastin time, that are consistent potent anticoagulation over sustained periods and reduced bleeding risk respectively. The trial provides a strong foundation for Phase 2 clinical studies.”
Dr. Qunsheng Ji, Sirius’ Chief Executive Officer added that “presentation of these findings at ASH 2024 underscores Sirius Therapeutics' commitment to advancing innovative treatments for thromboembolic disorders.”
The study was a single-site, randomized double-blind, placebo controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of subcutaneously administered SRSD107 in 40 healthy subjects. Five cohorts, each consisting of eight subjects evaluated eight doses of SRSD107, each receiving either a single SRSD107 dose or placebo. In the trial, SRSD107 was safe and well-tolerated. Significant changes from baseline in PD biomarkers were observed, with maximal reductions in FXI antigen and activity > 90% and an aPTT (thromboplastin time) increase of > 100% (i.e., an aPTT ratio > 2.0) at the highest doses tested. The pharmacodynamic effects were durable, with FXI antigen and activity levels remaining suppressed for more than 16 weeks after dosing.
The study is titled, “A Phase 1, Single Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of Subcutaneously Administered SRSD107 in Healthy Subjects.

About Thromboembolic Disorders
Thrombosis, or blood clot formation, is the common underlying mechanism of most cases of myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and venous thromboembolism. According to a study in The Lancet of regional and global mortality rates, thromboembolic disorders are estimated to cause as many as 1 in 4 deaths worldwide.
About SRSD107
SRSD107 is a novel double-stranded small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA). Developed by Sirius Therapeutics, SRSD107 specifically targets human coagulation factor XI (FXI) mRNA and inhibits FXI protein expression, thereby blocking the intrinsic coagulation pathway and promoting anticoagulant/anti-thrombotic effects. SRSD107 has been engineered for the potential to enable once or twice-a-year dosing.

GARDP and Debiopharm Partner to Advance Development of Novel Gonorrhea Drug13.1.2026 14:00:00 CET | Press release
The GARDP Foundation (known as GARDP) and the privately-owned, global biopharmaceutical company Debiopharm today announced that they have entered into a collaboration and license agreement to pursue the development of Debio1453, a novel, first-in-class antibiotic targeting Neisseria gonorrhoeae. With 82 million new cases each year, and the continued spread of multidrug-resistant N. gonorrhoeae strains, gonorrhea represents a global health crisis. This new partnership will help ensure that gonorrhea continues to be a treatable disease and will alleviate the risk of the emergence of future resistance, by ensuring that the antibiotic pipeline continues to be replenished. Gonorrhea caused by N. gonorrhoeae is currently in danger of becoming untreatable because of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Having developed resistance to almost all antibiotics used to treat it, only one last recommended treatment, ceftriaxone, remains effective, and now we are seeing a growing number of cases that are
