Wilate (human von Willebrand factor/coagulation factor VIII complex) is a plasma-derived replacement therapy that's approved to prevent and control bleeds in adults and adolescents with hemophilia A. It is given via an into-the-vein, or intravenous, injection.
There is no cure for hemophilia A, but several treatments are available to help prevent and control bleeds, reduce the risk of complications, and improve quality of life. People with hemophilia A are susceptible to excessive and prolonged bleeding episodes because their bodies don’t make enough functional factor…
Hemophilia A is a rare genetic disorder that affects the blood’s ability to clot properly. It is the most common form of hemophilia, responsible for 80% of all cases.
Hemophilia is a disorder wherein the blood is not able to clot properly. As a result, patients bleed easily, and it's unusually prolonged and heavy.
Jivi (damoctocog alfa pegol) is an approved lab-made replacement therapy designed to prevent or treat bleeding episodes in previously treated children and adults with hemophilia A. It is administered via into-the-vein (intravenous) infusions.
While hemophilia A and hemophilia B are both bleeding disorders characterized by deficiencies in blood clotting factors, there are differences in one type versus the other, particularly in the specific genetic mutations that cause the disease, and in some of the treatment methods.
A brief overview of hemophilia A and B, including prevalence and epidemiology.
