Sintrom (ACENOCOUMAROL)

Phase 3 active Small molecule

Sintrom (generic name: ACENOCOUMAROL) is a acenocoumarol drug. It is currently in Phase 3 development for Pulmonary embolism, Venous thrombosis.

Acenocoumarol works by blocking the enzyme that helps produce clotting factors in the liver.

Sintrom (Acenocoumarol) is a small molecule anticoagulant medication that targets Vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1. It works by inhibiting the production of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors, thereby preventing the formation of blood clots. Sintrom is approved to treat pulmonary embolism and venous thrombosis. The commercial status of Sintrom is unclear, but it is a generic version of a patented medication. Key safety considerations include the risk of bleeding and the need for regular monitoring of international normalized ratio (INR) levels.

Confidence: High
Why this estimate
  • Baseline phase 3 → approval rate +58.3pp
    Industry-wide phase 3 drugs reach approval ~58.3% of the time (BIO/Informa 2023 industry benchmark across all therapeutic areas).
  • Cardiovascular Phase 3 risk -2.0pp
    Modern cardiovascular outcome trials are large + long; many fail to beat aggressive standard-of-care.

Mechanism of action

Think of your blood as a liquid that can clot to stop bleeding when you're injured. Clotting factors are like special proteins that help your blood turn into a solid to stop the bleeding. Acenocoumarol stops the liver from making these clotting factors, which helps prevent blood clots from forming in the first place.
