Factor XI Inhibitors in Development

Factor XI / XIa inhibitors · drug platform heatmap

What are factor XI inhibitors?

Factor XI inhibitors are blood thinners (anticoagulants) that block clotting factor XI or its active form, factor XIa. People born with factor XI deficiency usually bleed only after injury or surgery, yet have fewer ischemic strokes than expected, which suggested that blocking factor XI could prevent clots with less bleeding than current blood thinners. The first, asundexian (Sunharbo), was approved by the FDA on November 9, 2026.

Factor XI inhibitors in clinical trials in 2026

TheraRadar tracks 12 factor XI inhibitors with recent clinical activity (1 approved) in 76 registered trials, and 5 have reached Phase 3 or later. Among them are asundexian (Bayer, approved), milvexian (Johnson & Johnson), cenvacibart (Regeneron) and amrecibart (Regeneron). Venous thromboembolism has the most factor XI inhibitors in trials (7), followed by atrial fibrillation (6) and kidney failure on dialysis (5). The next Phase 3 readouts, by the estimated completion date on ClinicalTrials.gov: milvexian (LIBREXIA-AF, Dec 2026), cenvacibart (ROXI-APEX, Feb 2027) and abelacimab (LILAC-TIMI 76, Dec 2027).

How this list was built

Programs were identified by searching ClinicalTrials.gov by drug name, code name and class, and each has at least one primary source: a paper, the FDA announcement, or the drug's own registry record. Trials are matched to a program by exact drug name or code. Drugs whose records do not state the target are left out, so early programs are probably undercounted. Trials whose registry status is unknown or withdrawn are not shown. Indications are the clinical setting each trial was run in, set from its registry conditions and title.
