Takeda presented new real-world data highlighting the underdiagnosis of hemophilia A and B, supporting the effectiveness and safety of its hemophilia therapies — Advate, Adynovate, and Feiba — and discussing potential benefits of personalized therapies. The company presented these latest data at the 13th Annual Congress…
Catalyst Biosciences has announced new clinical data supporting the safety and efficacy of its lead candidate therapies for treating hemophilia. Factor IX (FIX) dalcinonacog alfa (DalcA) was found to safely prevent bleedings in adults with hemophilia B, while factor VIIa (FVIIa) marzeptacog alfa (activated) (MarzAA) was…
Joint changes detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and often are missed on radiographs, are a strong predictor of damaging bleeds over the next five years in joints of people with hemophilia, a study suggests. A 10-fold increase in the five-year risk of joint bleeds was found by…
Aptevo Therapeutics announced the dosing of a first patient in a Phase 4 study aiming to extend use of its prophylactic (preventive) treatment Ixinity (coagulation factor IX [recombinant]) to children with hemophilia BÂ younger than 12 years old. “Initiation of the clinical study of Ixinity in…
The likelihood that teenagers and young adults with hemophilia will use a prophylactic replacement therapy as prescribed is mostly influenced by their level of responsibility in taking their infusions, and their own estimates of risk for each activity, a study suggests. To improve treatment adherence, doctors should discuss its importance during…
Adults and children with severe hemophilia A who are receiving Nuwiq (recombinant human coagulation factor VIII) as their first replacement therapy have a similar risk of developing inhibitors as those treated with plasma-derived therapies containing von Willebrand factor, the final results of the NuProtect trial show.
Takeda has presented new real-world data to support the cost-effectiveness and persistent benefits to patients of its hemophilia A and B therapies: Adynovate [antihemophilic factor (recombinant), PEGylated] and Feiba (anti-inhibitor coagulant complex). The findings were discussed at the recent 61st American Society of Hematology…
Takeda has presented early data on the prevalence of — and a possible solution for — one of gene therapy’s main hurdles: the development of an immune reaction against the viral-based delivery vectors used in such therapies. The findings, presented at the 61st American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting…
New preclinical data on one of Catalyst Biosciences‘ lead candidate therapies — marzeptacog alfa activated (MarzAA), an engineered clotting Factor VIIa (FVIIa) given as an under-the-skin injection — support its potential to treat acute bleeds in people with hemophilia and its ability to be used safely in combination with…
Enzyre is teaming up with Takeda to develop a diagnostic device that will allow people with hemophilia to determine their blood coagulation status at home. Under the collaboration agreement, the Dutch diagnostics company Enzyre will receive funding from Takeda to optimize its Enzypad technology. The goal is…
