Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Incidence of Composite of Major Bleeding (MB) and Clinically-relevant Non-major Bleeding (CRNMB) During the Main Treatment Period and Within the On-treatment Time Window, as Assessed by Blinded Central Independent Adjudication Committee (CIAC)
Up to 24 weeks

MB is defined as symptomatic bleeding and: 1) Fatal bleeding, and/or; 2) Bleeding in a critical area or organ, such as intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular, retroperitoneal, intraarticular or pericardial, or intramuscular with compartment syndrome, and/or; 3) Bleeding causing a fall in hemoglobin level of 20 g/L (2.0 g/dL) (1.24 mmol/L) or more, or leading to transfusion of two or more units of whole blood or red cells. CRNMB is defined as any sign or symptom of hemorrhage that does not fit the criteria for the ISTH definition of major bleeding but does meet at least one of the following criteria: 1) Requiring medical intervention by a healthcare professional; 2) Leading to hospitalization or increased level of care; 3) Prompting a face-to-face evaluation. n/100 person-years: number of subjects with incident events divided by the cumulative at-risk time in the reference population, where a subject is no longer at risk once an incident event occurred.

Frequently asked questions about Fesomersen

What is Fesomersen used for in End Stage Renal Disease Requiring Hemodialysis?

Fesomersen is an investigational small molecule being developed for patients with End Stage Renal Disease Requiring Hemodialysis. It was studied in a Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate its safety and how the body absorbs, distributes, and removes the drug, with a focus on reducing events such as heart attack and stroke in this patient population.

What does Fesomersen target?

Fesomersen is a small molecule that targets Factor XI, a protein involved in blood clotting. By inhibiting Factor XI, the drug aims to reduce thrombotic events like heart attack and stroke while potentially preserving hemostasis. This mechanism was evaluated in a Phase 2 trial for patients with End Stage Renal Disease Requiring Hemodialysis.

Who makes Fesomersen?

Fesomersen is being developed by Bayer AG, a multinational pharmaceutical company. Bayer's stock is traded over-the-counter under the ticker symbol BAYRY. The company conducted a Phase 2 clinical trial of Fesomersen in patients with End Stage Renal Disease Requiring Hemodialysis.

What phase is Fesomersen in?

Fesomersen is in Phase 2 clinical development. It has completed one Phase 2 trial, which was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 307 participants. The drug is still investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities for any indication.

What clinical trials is Fesomersen in?

Fesomersen has been studied in one completed Phase 2 clinical trial with the identifier NCT04534114. This trial enrolled 307 patients with End Stage Renal Disease Requiring Hemodialysis across multiple countries, including the United States, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Czechia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Japan, Latvia, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, and Ukraine.

Is Fesomersen the same as BAY2976217?

Yes, Fesomersen is also known as BAY2976217. In the clinical trial NCT04534114, the study drug is referred to as BAY2976217. This alternative name may appear in scientific literature and regulatory documents, so readers searching for either name will find information about the same investigational drug.
