A newer class of anticoagulants that target factor XI or XIa.

Key point

Adding an FXIa inhibitor to standard antiplatelet therapy after acute noncardioembolic ischemic stroke or TIA reduces stroke recurrence without evidence of increased bleeding risk.

How these numbers are counted

PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:

"factor XI"[tiab] OR "factor XIa"[tiab] OR abelacimab[tiab] OR asundexian[tiab] OR milvexian[tiab]

Trials: ClinicalTrials.gov studies first submitted in each 12-month window that match the same terms. A query can miss synonyms or catch unrelated papers, so treat counts as approximate.
