Active Comparator-Controlled Study to Assess Safety and Efficacy of ISIS-FXIRx in Total Knee Arthroplasty

August 25, 2014 updated by: Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

An Open-label, Randomized, Active Comparator-Controlled, Adaptive Parallel-group Phase 2 Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Multiple Doses of ISIS 416858 Administered Subcutaneously to Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty

The purpose of this study is:

  • To assess the safety and efficacy profile of ISIS-FXIRx, including incidence of bleeding and VTE, in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
  • To compare the efficacy and safety profile of ISIS-FXIRx in patients who achieve less than or equal to 0.2 U/mL FXI activity levels to that of enoxaparin.
