Patients with a history of venous and arterial thromboembolic events including, but not limited to, the following:
• Deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, stroke, transient ischemic attack, or arterial insufficiency causing digital gangrene.
• Patients with recent immobilization or recent surgery.
• Patients with a history of abnormal prothrombotic laboratories such as congenital or inherited deficiency of antithrombin III, protein C, protein S, or confirmed diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome. 6\.

Has recent or active hepatitis A infection, current/chronic hepatitis B and hepatitis C infection, or HIV infection. Participants with immunity to hepatitis B from previous infection, defined as negative HBsAg, positive anti-HBc, and positive hepatitis B surface antibody \[anti-HBs\] or vaccination \[defined as negative HBsAg, negative anti-HBc, and positive anti-HBs\] are eligible to participate. 8\. Has a history of latent or active tuberculosis. 9. Has received a live attenuated vaccine within the last 60 days including patients who plan to receive live attenuated vaccines during the study or within 60 days after the final dose of study treatment. 10\. Patients with the following should be excluded: <!-- -->
• Abnormal coagulation test at screening: prothrombin time (PT; \>14 sec), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT; \>32 sec) or fibrinogen level (\<190 or \>450 mg/dL).
• Abnormal liver function tests (except in the case of known Gilbert's syndrome): i. AST or ALT ≥3x ULN and total bilirubin ≥2x ULN ii. AST or ALT ≥5x ULN iii. Abnormal platelet counts (\<150 or \> 450 x10 to the third/uL) iv. Abnormal white blood cell counts (\< 3.0 or \>11.0 x10 to the third/uL ) v. Abnormal eGFR (\< 90 mL/min) vi.

Is pregnant or breastfeeding or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the trial, starting with the screening visit through 120 days after the last dose of trial treatment. 13\. Recent history of bleeding or bleeding disorders or any condition whereby in the opinion of the treating investigator giving anti-coagulation during treatment would be contraindicated. 14\. History of hypersensitivity to antihistamines. 15. Body mass index \<20 or \>35 kg/M2 16. Patients with active drug or alcohol abuse within one year prior to screening or patients who test positive for required drug testing during screening (refer to §8.4). 17\. Patient is participating in a clinical trial of another investigational drug or device, including patients who have participated in another study for duration of 5 half-lives of the investigational agent. 18\. Patient is a prisoner. 19. Patients with any medical condition, including, but not limited to, cardiac, endocrinologic, hematologic, hepatic, immunologic, metabolic, urologic, pulmonary, neurologic, dermatologic, renal, or a psychiatric condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, could compromise their ability to participate in this study.
