First-in-Human Experience of an Antidote-Controlled Anticoagulant Using RNA Aptamer Technology

Abstract

These observations represent a first-in-human experience of an RNA aptamer and its complementary oligonucleotide antidote used as an anticoagulant system. The findings contribute to an emerging platform of selective, actively reversible anticoagulant drugs for use among patients with thrombotic disorders of the venous and arterial circulations.
