Po50 | Sub-analysis of Interim Results From a Phase 2 Study Investigating Regn9933a2 and Regn7508cat for the Prevention of Contact-mediated Venous Thromboembolism in Patients With Active Cancer Undergoing Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter Placement (roxi-cath)

Abstract: Introduction. Thrombosis is a common complication of PICC placement. Available anticoagulants can increase bleeding risk and are rarely used for thromboprophylaxis in patients (pts) with PICC lines. Factor XI (FXI) inhibition may reduce thrombosis risk after PICC placement without increased bleeding risk in pts with cancer at enhanced risk of clotting and bleeding. REGN9933A2 and REGN7508CAT are human monoclonal antibodies binding the A2 and catalytic FXI domains, respectively. The Phase 2 ROXI-CATH study (NCT06299111) evaluated REGN9933A2 and REGN7508CAT for preventing contact-mediated VTE after PICC placement. Aim. To assess the efficacy and safety of REGN9933A2 and REGN7508CAT in pts from ROXI-CATH with active cancer undergoing PICC placement. Materials and Methods. In this ongoing double-blind study, pts ≥18 years undergoing PICC placement (in place for ≥14 days) were randomized 1:1:1 to receive intravenous REGN9933A2 300 mg, REGN7508CAT 250 mg, or placebo ≤24 hours of PICC placement. Ultrasound of the upper extremity ipsilateral to the PICC was performed on Day 7 and Day 14 (±2 days) for thrombosis assessment. Co-primary endpoints were the incidence of confirmed VTE until Day 14 after PICC placement and incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). A sub-analysis at ~50% enrollment of pts with active cancer is presented. Results. As of July 30, 2025, 58 pts with active cancer were enrolled and treated (REGN9933A2, n=20; REGN7508CAT, n=20; placebo, n=18). In the efficacy analysis set (n=57), VTE occurred in 3 (15.0%) pts receiving REGN9933A2, 1 (5.0%) receiving REGN7508CAT, and 8 (47.1%) receiving placebo (Figure). Odds ratios for VTE for REGN9933A2 and REGN7508CAT vs placebo were 0.29 (90% CI 0.06–0.73) and 0.13 (90% CI 0.02–0.36), respectively. No major bleeding occurred (safety analysis set, n=58); clinically relevant non-major bleeding occurred in one pt receiving REGN9933A2 and one receiving placebo. Treatment-related TEAEs occurred in one pt receiving REGN9933A2 (anemia and epistaxis) and one receiving REGN7508CAT (overdose); none occurred in the placebo group. Conclusions. FXI inhibition may be effective for preventing contact-mediated VTE in pts with active cancer, with lower VTE rates in those receiving REGN9933A2 or REGN7508CAT than placebo. FXI inhibition represents a novel potential anticoagulant approach to preventing PICC-associated thrombosis in pts with cancer without substantially increasing the bleeding risk.
