A PubMed search for 'pharmacokinetics of anti-VEGF drugs' was performed from 2000 to 2023. Relevant studies were reviewed and referred to in the manuscript.EXPERT OPINIONEarly developers concentrated on improving efficacy, but since maximum efficacy with VEGF inhibition has been reached, development has pivoted to extending the duration of action. Durability strategies include inhibiting additional pathways (faricimab), increasing molar dose (abicipar, brolucizumab, faricimab, and aflibercept 8 mg), and prolonging the intravitreal half-life (abicipar and KSI-301). Recent phase 3 trials demonstrated modest improvements in durability, but failures that might be attributed to these strategies (conjugation and manufacturing processes) have occurred.

Current drugs (antiplatelets and oral anticoagulants) lead to increased bleeding risks, and the rates of stroke recurrence, despite antithrombotic therapy, are still elevated.

Factor XIa inhibitors might cover this gap.AREAS COVEREDThis manuscript examines the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of asundexian and the current clinical evidence regarding its application in preventing ischemic stroke.EXPERT OPINIONAsundexian shows a very favoring pharmacokinetic profile. Despite asundexian being inferior to apixaban for cardioembolic ischemic stroke, it could be useful in patients with non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke. Although antiplatelet therapy is the recommended treatment to prevent non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke, adding an anticoagulant might have beneficial effects through the dual-pathway inhibition strategy. Due to the potential risk of hemorrhagic transformation, there is hesitation to administer anticoagulants early to patients who have recently had an ischemic stroke, especially if they are also on antiplatelet therapy. However, clinical trials on asundexian confirmed its safety for bleeding, even when used with antiplatelets. A phase 3 trial is currently investigating the efficacy of asundexian in preventing non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke.","PeriodicalId":12250,"journal":{"name":"Expert Opinion on Drug Metabolism & Toxicology","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142180870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
