Pegnivacogin results in near complete FIX inhibition in acute coronary syndrome patients: RADAR pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic substudy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
AIMS: Establishing factor IX inhibition in patients with acute coronary syndrome/non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (ACS/NSTEMI), a setting characterized by increased factor IX activity, is critical to investigate the REG1 system in this target population. The REG1 system (Regado Biosciences, Basking Ridge, NJ) consists of pegnivacogin (RB006), an RNA aptamer that directly inhibits factor IXa, and anivamersen (RB007), its complementary control agent. METHODS AND RESULTS: RADAR is a Phase 2b study investigating the use of pegnivacogin in patients (n = 800) with ACS undergoing planned early cardiac catheterization. To validate dose selection and stability of anticoagulation throughout the time of cardiac catheterization at an early stage of the clinical trial, 33 patients, 22 of whom had not received recent prior heparin, underwent thorough pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic assessment. Fold prolongation of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) was used to impute factor IX inhibition. Pegnivacogin 1 mg/kg rapidly achieved a high pegnivacogin plasma concentration (26.1 ± 4.6 µg/mL), prolonged the aPTT (mean aPTT 93.0 ± 9.5 s), and approached near complete factor IX inhibition (mean fold increase from baseline 2.9 ± 0.3). These levels remained stable from the time of drug administration through completion of the catheterization. CONCLUSION: Pegnivacogin administered at a weight-adjusted dose of 1 mg/kg consistently achieves a high level of factor IX activity inhibition among patients with ACS and provides stable anticoagulation during cardiac catheterization. These findings support the dose of pegnivacogin selected for the RADAR study.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
