- The aim was to investigate whether a truncated recombinant Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI1-161) which lacked the third Kunitz-type domain and the basic c-terminal region, had an antithrombotic effect comparable to LMWH in a randomised double-dummy study. The experimental thrombosis was induced in jugular veins, in a total of 40 rabbits by a combination of destruction of the endothelium and restricted blood flow. Group 1: placebo, gr 2- LMWH 60 anti-FXa IU/kg, gr 3-5: 0.1, 1.0 and 10.0 mg/kg TFPI1-161. TFPI1-161 reduced the thrombus weights in all treated groups, significantly in doses of 1.0 and 10.0 mg/kg compared to placebo. The frequency of thrombosis and occlusive thrombosis were also significantly reduced in those doses. The antithrombotic properties of TFPI1-161 (1.0-10.0 mg/ kg) measured as thrombus weight, frequency of thrombosis and frequency of occlusive thrombosis was equivalent to the antithrombotic properties of LMWH. In the anti-FXa, APTT and PT-assays TFPI1-161 displayed a dose dependent increase of activity. Recombinant-TFPI1-161 did not influence the anti-FIIa-assay. No haemorrhagic side effects were noted.
