Although clinical manifestations differ profoundly (bleeding vs angioedema), both diseases have recently undergone parallel therapeutic revolutions, shaped by advances in molecular biology and biotechnology. Early management in the 1970s relied for both diseases on the episodic administration of plasma-derived products, subsequently replaced by recombinant products that improved safety and feasibility of prophylaxis regimens. In the last 20 years, the development of nonreplacement products, such as emicizumab and rebalancing agents in hemophilia and kallikrein/bradykinin pathway inhibitors in HAE, shifted clinical practice from the episodic management of clinical events to their prevention. More recently, gene and RNA-based therapies are further transforming both diseases toward curative attempts: in hemophilia, adeno-associated virus vector-mediated gene therapy and lentiviral stem-cell approaches; in HAE, antisense oligonucleotide–mediated kallikrein suppression. Emerging genome-editing approaches and biomarker- and genotype-driven strategies are poised to further improve and personalize treatment. The therapeutic trajectories of rare diseases such as hemophilia and HAE illustrate how mechanistic insights enable the transition from the episodic management of acute events to long-term disease control, offering prospects for curative interventions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20893,"journal":{"name":"Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis","volume":"10 3","pages":"Article 103456"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147712881","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}

Fibrinolysis using recombinant tissue plasminogen activators remains the primary pharmacologic approach for reperfusion therapy in ischemic stroke. Its clinical benefit has been well established over the past 3 decades. However, fibrinolytic therapy is not universally effective, and its limitations have become increasingly apparent. Recent research has provided deeper insights into acute ischemic stroke thrombus composition and architecture, revealing complex structures containing not only fibrin but also cellular and extracellular components that contribute to fibrinolysis resistance. These findings have led to the development of novel strategies aimed at targeting nonfibrin components to enhance overall thrombolysis and overcome fibrinolysis resistance. This review highlighted the current evidence from studies on ischemic stroke thrombi that underpin emerging thrombolytic strategies that target nonfibrin components and discusses their potential clinical implications. Finally, relevant new data on this topic presented during the 2025 International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis Congress were summarized.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20893,"journal":{"name":"Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis","volume":"10 3","pages":"Article 103434"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147745138","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}
