288A Basic Aspects of Thrombosis and Hemostasis 908-159 Pharmacogenetic Warfarin-Dosing Algorithm Is Substantially Improved When Both VKORC1 and CYP2C9 Gene Variants Are Considered cumbersome monitoring. Injectable direct FXa inhibitors offer better safety with efï¬cacy comparable to current treatments. These beneï¬ts could be extended to the ambulatory setting with an oral agent. We evaluate the antithrombotic effects of an oral direct FXa inhibitor DU-176b in a phase I human study. Methods: Healthy males (n=12, 28±6 years) received a single, 60mg dose of DU-176b. Antithrombotic effects were assessed by changes in thrombus size pre- and post-dose, using the Badimon chamber at venous and moderately stenosed arterial ï¬ow conditions. Perfusion studies and measurements for anti-FXa activity and thrombin generation were performed pre-dose, and at 1.5-, 5- and 12-hours post-dose. Results:see table. Effect of DU-176b on Thrombus Formation and Clotting Parameters Anti-Thrombotic Effect Venous Thrombosis (% reduction) Arterial Thrombosis (% reduction) 1.5 hour postdose 28% * 26% * 5 hour postdose 21% * 17% * 12 hour postdose 3% 3% Benjamin D.
