New shot aims to stop catheter clots without blood thinners

NCT ID NCT07498517

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests whether a single dose of gruticibart, a monoclonal antibody, can prevent blood clots that often form when a central venous catheter is placed. About 90 adults getting a catheter will receive either the drug or a placebo. The goal is to see if gruticibart reduces clots and the need for risky blood thinners.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

gruticibart (a monoclonal antibody)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a way to prevent catheter-related blood clots without the bleeding risks of standard blood thinners.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 90 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug could still cause bleeding or other side effects.
