It possesses an antithrombotic action and also the ability to associate with lipoproteins in plasma. Publication Abstract from PubMed Hemophilia is treated by intravenous replacement therapy with factor VIII (FVIII) or factor IX (FIX), either on demand to resolve bleeding, or as prophylaxis. Improved treatment may be provided by drugs designed for subcutaneous and less frequent administration with a reduced risk of inhibitor formation. Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) down regulates the initiation of coagulation by inhibition of FVIIa/TF/FXa. Blockage of TFPI inhibition may facilitate thrombin generation in a hemophilic setting. A high-affinity (K(D) = 25 pM) monoclonal antibody, mAb 2021, against TFPI was investigated. Binding of mAb 2021 to TFPI effectively prevented inhibition of FVIIa/TF/FXa and improved clot formation in hemophilia blood and plasma. The binding epitope on Kunitz-type protease inhibitor domain 2 of TFPI was mapped by crystallography, and showed an extensive overlap with the FXa contact region highlighting a structural basis for its mechanism of action. In a rabbit hemophilia model, intravenous or subcutaneous dose significantly reduced cuticle bleeding. mAb 2021 showed effect comparable to that of rFVIIa. Cuticle bleeding in the model was reduced for at least 7 days by a single intravenous dose of mAb 2021. This study suggests that neutralization of TFPI by mAb 2021 may constitute a novel treatment option in hemophilia.
