Cadrenal Therapeutics (Nasdaq: CVKD) is developing novel and differentiated biopharmaceutical products to bridge essential gaps in currently available anticoagulation therapeutics. Our lead investigational product is tecarfarin, a novel oral Vitamin K antagonist anticoagulant that is designed to address unmet needs in anticoagulation therapy. Tecarfarin is a reversible anticoagulant (blood thinner) designed to prevent heart attacks, strokes, and deaths due to blood clots in patients requiring chronic anticoagulation. Although warfarin is widely used, extensive clinical and real-world data have shown it can have significant, serious side effects. With tecarfarin, Cadrenal aims to reduce the clinical complexities of managing Vitamin K antagonists, particularly where direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) remain inadequate or unproven.

Tecarfarin received Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) and fast-track designation for the prevention of systemic thromboembolism (blood clots) of cardiac origin in patients with end-stage kidney disease and atrial fibrillation (ESKD+AFib). The Company also received ODD for the prevention of thromboembolism and thrombosis in patients with implanted mechanical circulatory support devices, including Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs).

Recently, we acquired the assets of eXIthera Pharmaceuticals (eXIthera), including its proprietary portfolio of investigational intravenous (IV) and oral Factor XIa inhibitors. The lead asset in this additional portfolio is frunexian, a first-in-class, Phase 2-ready IV Factor XIa inhibitor designed for acute care settings where contact activation of coagulation by medical devices or artificial surfaces plays a significant role. Frunexian is the only IV FXIa inhibitor in clinical development that targets the acute/critical care hospital setting exclusively.
