Sirius Therapeutics Announces Promising Phase I Clinical Data from Its Factor XI siRNA, a Long-Acting Next-Generation Anticoagulant for Thromboembolic Disorders
10.12.2024 05:00:00 CET | Business Wire | Press release
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.

Meiji Seika Pharma Initiates Phase I Clinical Trial in Australia Evaluating ME3241, an Anti-PD-1 Agonist Antibody Discovered Through Collaborative Research With FBRI12.3.2026 07:00:00 CET | Press release
Meiji Seika Pharma Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan; President and Representative Director: Toshiaki Nagasato) announced today that it has initiated a Phase I clinical trial of ME3241 (development code), an anti-PD-1 agonist monoclonal antibody discovered through collaborative research with the Foundation for Biomedical Research and Innovation at Kobe (Headquarters: Kobe, Japan; President: Shuh Narumiya; hereinafter “FBRI”). The Phase I clinical trial is designed as a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study, with the objective of evaluating the safety and tolerability of ME3241 following single and multiple dosing, as well as its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT07422207). ME3241 was discovered through a collaborative research program led by Program Director Tasuku Honjo, a professor emeritus at Kyoto University. PD-1 is a molecule expressed on activated T cells and other lymphocytes that suppresses immune responses. Through this re
