ROXI-VTE Trials Explained: Dr. Jeff Weitz on Next-Generation Thrombosis Prevention

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of CLOT Conversations, co-hosts Dr. Jamil Abdul-Rahman and Dr. Maha Othman have an in-depth discussion with leading thrombosis expert Dr. Jeff Weitz. Together, they unpack new findings from The Lancet on RGN-9933 and RGN-7508, two investigational factor XI inhibitors evaluated in the ROXI-VTE I and II phase-2 trials. These studies examine how targeted inhibition of factor XI may reduce post-operative venous thromboembolism with potentially lower bleeding risk than current anticoagulants.Dr. Weitz explains the distinct mechanisms of the two antibodies, the role of factor XII-mediated activation in post-operative VTE, key efficacy and safety outcomes, and how these early-phase studies set the stage for ongoing phase-2 and phase-3 trials—including ROXI-CATH, ROXI-Aspirin, and emerging AF and stroke-prevention research.This episode is essential listening for clinicians interested in the rapidly evolving landscape of anticoagulation and next-generation therapies that may offer safer options for patients undergoing orthopedic surgery and beyond.Read the full Lancet publication by clicking on the link below and explore more thrombosis resources at thrombosiscanada.ca.Become a Thrombosis Champion, be a monthly donor at https://thrombosiscanada.ca/donatehttps://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(25)02097-5/abstract [Note: full access requires a subscription]Support the showhttps://thrombosiscanada.caRegister today for our upcoming conference on November 7, 2026 in Montreal at https://thrombosiscanada.ca/2026ConferenceTake a look at our healthcare professional and patient resources, videos and publications on thrombosis from the expert members of Thrombosis Canada
