About ISIS-FXIRx

ISIS-FXIRx is an antisense drug discovered and being developed by Isis
Pharmaceuticals. ISIS-FXIRx is designed to treat clotting disorders by
inhibiting the production of Factor XI, a clotting factor produced in the liver
that is an important component of the coagulation pathway. High levels of Factor
XI increase the risk of thrombosis, a process involving aberrant blood clot
formation responsible for most heart attacks and strokes. Elevated levels of
Factor XI also increase the risk of venous thrombosis, a common problem after
surgery, particularly major orthopedic procedures, such as knee or hip
replacement. People who are deficient in Factor XI have a lower incidence of
thromboembolic events with minimal increase in bleeding risk.
