Mechanism of action
Marstacimab‑hncq is a human monoclonal IgG1 antibody directed against the Kunitz domain 2 (K2) of TFPI to neutralize TFPI activity and enhance coagulation. TFPI is the primary inhibitor of the extrinsic coagulation cascade and negatively regulates thrombin generation within the extrinsic pathway of coagulation by inactivating the protease functions of FXa/FVIIa/TF complex. TFPI binds to and inhibits the factor Xa active site via its second Kunitz inhibitor domain (K2).
