Recombinant nematode anticoagulant protein-2 (rNAPc2) is an antithrombotic protein under development by Nuvelo as a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of major acute cardiovascular disease such as unstable angina and myocardial infarction. Phase II clinical trials were ongoing in January 2004, although development for deep vein thrombosis had been suspended by Dendreon due to a requirement for a partner to assist with additional phase II clinical trials.
BIBR-1048, a thrombin inhibitor and an orally-active prodrug of BIBR-953ZW, is under development by Boehringer Ingelheim as a potential antithrombotic agent [331881]. By 1999, BIBR-1048 was in phase II clinical trials for thromboembolism and the prevention of stroke due to atrial fibrillation [331881]; by April 2002, proof-of-principle had been demonstrated in phase II trials in deep vein thrombosis [446554]. In July 2001, the company revealed that an IND was expected to be filed for BIBR-953ZW in 2002 [415884].
