Novartis Reclaims Anthos, Reenters Factor XI Race

Novartis spun out the testing and development of abelacimab and formed Anthos Therapeutics back in 2019. Bayer terminated its OCEANIC-AF trial for its Factor XI inhibitor, asundexian, due to 3x greater stroke (1.3% vs. 0.4%) and 4x higher ischemic stroke rates (csHR = 4.06).

Affecting 60 million people worldwide 1 , the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AFib) is expected to increase by 60% by 2050 due to an aging population and rising cardiometabolic risk factors 2. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that more than 12 million Americans will have AFib by 2030 3.

About a million possible cases of atrial fibrillation, a known risk for stroke, go undetected in Japan. Founded in 2019, Cardio Intelligence develops a range of AI-powered solutions for continuous heart monitoring called SmartRobin AI. The AI lineup currently covers both continuous ECG tracking and AFib detection.

Slow VT below the detection rate of the ICD lead to worsening heart failure and low stroke volume. Lowering the back up rate (LRL) of the ICD/pacer allowed for an intrinsic rhythm with physiologic AV conduction and normal AV synchrony with resultant increase in stroke volume and cardiac outpt.
