TLDR
Empicizumab prophylaxis administered subcutaneously once weekly or every 2 weeks led to a significantly lower bleeding rate than no proPHylaxis among persons with hemophilia A without inhibitors; more than half of the participants who received prophYLaxis had no treated bleeding events.
Abstract
Background Emicizumab is a bispecific monoclonal antibody that bridges activated factor IX and factor X to replace the function of missing activated factor VIII, thereby restoring hemostas...

AAV5–Factor VIII Gene Transfer in Severe Hemophilia A

TL;DR: The infusion of AAV5‐hFVIII‐SQ was associated with the sustained normalization of factor VIII activity level over a period of 1 year in six of seven participants who received a high dose, with stabilization of hemostasis and a profound reduction in factor VIII use in all seven participants.
