First Experience With Direct Factor Xa Inhibition in Patients With Stable Coronary Disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Thrombin generation is critical to the formation of an arterial thrombus after rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque. In patients with stable coronary disease receiving standard medical therapy, we evaluated the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety profile of DX-9065a, a novel small-molecule anticoagulant that directly, selectively, and reversibly inhibits factor Xa. METHODS AND RESULTS: In a double-blind trial, 73 patients (median age, 63 years; 29% women) were randomly assigned to receive a fixed-dose intravenous bolus, followed by a 72-hour infusion of placebo or 1 of 4 weight-adjusted regimens of DX-9065a. Plasma samples were collected during infusion and a 24-hour elimination period. Only minor bleeding occurred, predominantly ecchymoses at infusion sites, and its incidence did not differ significantly among the groups, including placebo. Median hemoglobin, platelet count, serum creatinine level, and liver function tests did not change significantly from baseline during infusion or elimination. Significant predictors of pharmacokinetic response included infusion dose and weight. At 60 hours into the DX-9065a infusion, plasma drug levels correlated strongly with anti-factor Xa activity (r=0.97), prothrombin time (r=0.77), and international normalized ratio (r=0.72) but less so with activated partial thromboplastin time (r=0.56; all P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study of a selective, reversible, and direct small-molecule factor Xa inhibitor in patients with stable coronary disease. These data lay the foundation for further investigation of factor Xa inhibitors in the treatment of patients with coronary atherothrombosis.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
