An enzyme called activate protein C (APC), which prevents the formation of blood clots and therefore promotes bleeding could be targeted to treat hemophilia, suggests a study conducted by researcher at the University of Cambridge and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

Hemophilia A can be treated with replacement therapy using plasma-derived factor VIII, which is associated with a lower incidence of inhibitors. A newly engineered protein targeting activated protein C (APC) could also effectively treat hemophilia A and B. Additionally, SCT800, a man-made factor VIII, has shown to be safe and effective for severe hemophilia A.

A recent clinical trial indicates that replacement therapy with plasma-derived factor VIII is associated with lower incidence for development of inhibitors in patients with severe hemophilia A. The study,“A Randomized Trial of Factor VIII and Neutralizing Antibodies in Hemophilia A,” was published in The New England Journal of…
People with hemophilia may benefit from mild exercise to minimize their risk of bleeding according to a study published in the scientific journal Haemophilia.
SCT800, a replacement therapy containing a man-made form of clotting factor VIII (FVIII), appears to be safe and effective at treating and preventing bleeds in adolescents and adults with severe hemophilia A, a study has found. The study, “Pharmacokinetic, efficacy and safety evaluation of B-domain-deleted…
Hemophilia B patients living in urban mainland China have longer hospitalizations and significantly higher medical costs — including more expensive fees for coagulation factors concentrates — compared with patients with hemophilia A, a retrospective study shows. In fact, people with hemophilia B had inpatient medical costs more than…
The difference in disease severity between Hemophilia A and B (HA, HB) was recently assessed in the study, “Clinical, Instrumental, Serological And Histological Findings Suggest That Hemophilia B May Be Less Severe Than Hemophilia A,” and published in Haematologica. HA and HB are caused by deficient clotting proteins,…
Almost two-thirds of men with moderate or severe hemophilia A have joint problems that cause pain and reduce their quality of life, even when they’re on factor replacement therapy to reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes, a real-world study shows. “Overall, the data indicate that joint problems still…
A population-based pharmacokinetic approach for tailored treatment regimens of hemophilia A patients may contribute to an increase in treatment adherence and a decrease in annual bleeding episodes, a study shows. The study, “Clinical outcomes in hemophilia A patients undergoing tailoring of prophylaxis based on population-based pharmacokinetic dosing,” was published…
The five adults with hemophilia A who died while using Hemlibra (emicizumab-kxwh) to treat their disease did not die of causes related to the treatment, manufacturer Genentech said in a statement. “In each of these cases, the assessment of the treating physician or investigator was that the cause of death was unrelated to…
Bayer’s investigational gene therapy BAY 2599023 safely and effectively increased the levels of clotting factor VIII (FVIII) and prevented or lessened bleeding in the first two people with severe hemophilia A treated in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial, preliminary data show. The ongoing trial (NCT03588299; 2017-000806-39) is enrolling…
