| 20080214461 | FVIII-Independent FIX-Mutant Proteins for Hemophilia A Treatment - The present invention relates to recombinant blood coagulation factor IX (rFIX) mutants having factor VIII (FVIII) independent factor X (FX) activation potential. Five full length FIX proteins with combinations of mutations of amino acids important for functional activity of FIX and FIX wild type were cloned and expressed in HEK 293 cells. The proteins were tested by an activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) assay in FVIII-depleted plasma as well as in FVIII-inhibited patient plasma. In FVIII-depleted plasma functional activity of the FIX mutants was calculated as increased FVIII equivalent activity. The mutant proteins had increased FVIII equivalent activity. In FVIII-inhibited patient plasma the FEIBA equivalent activity was calculated for analysis of FVIII independent FX activation potential. The proteins had also increased FEIBA equivalent activity. Furthermore, the pre-activated FIX proteins had an increased activity in FIX-depleted plasma containing FVIII inhibitors. Therefore these FIX mutants are alternatives as bypassing agents for treatment of FVIII inhibitor patients. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080214462 | FIX-Mutant Proteins for Hemophilia B Treatment - The present invention relates to recombinant blood coagulation factor IX (rFIX) mutants having improved FIX clotting activity. Three full length FIX proteins with combinations of mutations of amino acids important for functional activity of FIX and FIX wild type were cloned and expressed in HEK 293 cells. The proteins were tested by an activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) assays in FIX-depleted plasma. Two mutant proteins had increased specific FIX activity. Furthermore, a pre-activated FIX protein had an increased activity in FIX-depleted plasma. Therefore these FIX mutants can be used for the treatment of FIX associated bleeding disorders. | 09-04-2008 |

| 20100166834 | PREPARATIONS BASED ON FIBRINOGEN AND SULFATED POLYSACCHARIDES - The present invention provides a preparation comprising fibrinogen and a sulfated polysaccharide as a one component composition or as a kit of parts comprising fibrinogen and sulfated polysaccharide as separated components. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100173847 | TFPI INHIBITORS AND METHODS OF USE - The invention provides peptides that bind Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI), including TFPI-inhibitory peptides, and compositions thereof. The peptides may be used to inhibit a TFPI, enhance thrombin formation in a clotting factor-deficient subject, increase blood clot formation in a subject, and/or treat a blood coagulation disorder in a subject. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20110110921 | Methods for Treating Bleeding Disorders - A method of factor XI-dependent blood coagulation enhancement in a subject in need of enhanced blood coagulation comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising a non-anticoagulant sulfated polysaccharide (NASP) to the subject. A method of factor XI-dependent blood coagulation enhancement in a subject in need of enhanced blood coagulation comprising: (i) selecting a subject that is not deficient for factor XI; and (ii) administering a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising a non-anticoagulant sulfated polysaccharide (NASP) to the subject, wherein the NASP enhances blood coagulation in a factor XI-dependent manner. A method of identifying a non-anticoagulant sulfated polysaccharide (NASP) which is capable of enhancing blood coagulation in dependence on FXI, the method comprising: a) combining a blood or plasma sample comprising activation competent FXI with a composition comprising a sulfated polysaccharide and measuring the clotting or thrombin generation parameters of the blood or plasma sample; b) combining a corresponding blood or plasma sample deficient in activation competent FXI with a composition comprising the sulfated polysaccharide and measuring the clotting or thrombin generation parameters of the blood or plasma sample; and c) comparing the clotting or thrombin generation parameters of the blood or plasma samples as determined in steps (a) and (b) with each other, wherein a decrease in the clotting time of the blood sample or an increase in peak thrombin or decrease in peak time of the plasma sample comprising activation competent FXI compared to the clotting time of the blood sample or peak thrombin or peak time of the plasma sample deficient in activation competent FXI is indicative of a NASP which is capable of enhancing blood coagulation in dependence on FXI. | 05-12-2011 |
