NCT ID NCT04593784

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial tested a drug called ciraparantag to see if it could quickly reverse the effects of blood thinners in 41 healthy adults. Participants received either ciraparantag or a placebo, and their blood clotting time was measured. The study was terminated early, so the full results are not available.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Ciraparantag (a drug given intravenously to reverse the effects of blood thinners)

What this could lead to

If successful, ciraparantag could become a quick-acting antidote for certain blood thinners, potentially helping in emergencies where rapid reversal is needed.

What could go wrong

This was an early-phase trial in healthy volunteers, not patients. The study was terminated, so results are limited. It is unclear if it will work in real-world bleeding emergencies.
