World Hemophilia Day: Recognizing Symptoms and Managing Bleeding Episodes

Top Stories

Latest Research

A recent study on hemophilia B led by Rasko et al.

(2025)
investigated gene therapy using fidanacogene elaparvovec to sustain clotting factor IX activity, which is crucial for blood clotting in hemophilia B patients.

The study demonstrated that this therapy maintained factor IX activity within the mild hemophilia range over several years of follow-up.

These findings suggest gene therapy could offer long-term management of hemophilia B by stabilizing clotting factor levels, potentially reducing bleeding episodes and improving patients' quality of life.

The sustained factor IX activity indicates gene therapy may provide a more consistent treatment compared to frequent clotting factor infusions, offering hope for more effective and lasting treatment options.
