New antibody aims to dissolve lung clots with less bleeding risk

NCT ID NCT05408546

First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new drug called TS23, a monoclonal antibody designed to help break down blood clots in the lungs. It is for people with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism, a serious condition where clots block blood flow. The trial compares different doses of TS23 against a placebo to see if it safely dissolves clots and improves heart function.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

TS23 (a monoclonal antibody that targets a protein involved in blood clot breakdown)

What this could lead to

If successful, TS23 could offer a new, safer way to dissolve dangerous blood clots in the lungs, potentially reducing complications and improving recovery.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase 2 trial with only 64 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The main risk is bleeding, and the drug may not work better than standard treatments.
