Abstract Background Patients with hemophilia have deficiencies in intrinsic coagulation factors and can develop inhibitors that limit the effectiveness of replacement coagulation factors. Marstacimab, a human monoclonal antibody, binds and inhibits the human tissue factor pathway inhibitor. Marstacimab is currently under development as a potential prophylactic treatment to prevent bleeding episodes in patients with hemophilia A and B. Objective To assess the effects of marstacimab alone or in combination with the bypassing agent recombinant factor FVIIa (rFVIIa) or activated prothrombin complex concentrate (aPCC) on thrombin generation and bleeding. Methods Marstacimab and/or rFVIIa or aPCC were added to hemophilic A or B plasma or nonhemophilic plasma in vitro. Hemostatic activity was measured using the thrombin generation assay. In vivo effects were assessed using a mouse acute bleeding model. Male hemophilia A mice were dosed with marstacimab plus aPCC before tail clip; blood loss was quantified by measuring hemoglobin. Results Marstacimab plus rFVIIa or aPCC slightly increased peak thrombin levels compared with either agent alone. This increase was within the reported range for nonhemophilic plasma and did not exceed levels observed in nonhemophilic plasma treated with marstacimab alone. Hemophilia A mice that received 200 U/kg aPCC had significantly reduced bleeding (62%) compared with vehicle‐treated mice (p |
