Overview

Future therapies involve use of factor X inhibitors or direct thrombin inhibitors. The data is currently not mature enough to make any clinical recommendations.

Future or Investigational Therapies

Future therapies for HIT focus on use of new oral anticoagulants.[1] Director factor X inhibitors and newer direct thrombin inhibitors are being studied, but the data is currently in its infancy. Cost-effectiveness analyses will need to be done to determine whether it is appropriate to use these new agents.
