Dow Jones Description

The Medicines Company is conducting several development programs with planned and executed clinical trials. The Medicines Company believes Angiomax will become the leading replacement for heparin in acute cardiovascular care. Heparin, an indirect thrombin inhibitor and commonly used anticoagulant, was discovered almost 100 years ago. Across studies in angioplasty, Angiomax has been shown to be better than heparin in preventing bleeding and ischemic complications such as heart attack, which are associated with angioplasty procedures.
