Bispecific antibodies for the treatment of hemophilia A

Midori Shima

Summary: Emicizumab is a bispecific antibody with the function of FVIIIa cofactor regardless of the presence of FVIII inhibitors. Long-term data from phase 1/2 and phase 3 studies have been accumulated. The use of Emicizumab is a definite therapeutic option for patients with a persistent inhibitor, although concerns about BPAs-associated thromboembolic/TMA events exist. For non-inhibitor patients, especially pediatric patients, Emicizumab prophylaxis can be considered.

Safety evaluation of emicizumab prophylaxis in individuals with haemophilia A

Cassandra P. Wang et al.

Summary: Emicizumab is an effective alternative to prophylaxis with factor VIII replacement in individuals with hemophilia A, showing improved outcomes in reducing bleeding events. Despite a few cases of thrombotic microangiopathy and thrombotic events seen in the HAVEN 1 trial, overall, Emicizumab has an excellent safety profile with minimal side effects.

The effect of emicizumab prophylaxis on long-term, self-reported physical health in persons with haemophilia A without factor VIII inhibitors in the HAVEN 3 and HAVEN 4 studies

Mark W. Skinner et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that emicizumab prophylaxis in severe HA patients without FVIII inhibitors led to sustained and significant improvements in Haem-A-QoL PH, especially in subgroups with poorer HRQoL prior to treatment initiation. No significant changes were observed in EQ-5D-5L scores over time.

Tranexamic acid given into wound reduces postoperative drainage, blood loss, and hospital stay in spinal surgeries: a meta-analysis

Shangyi Hui et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the effectiveness of tTXA in reducing postoperative drainage, hidden blood loss, and hospital stay duration in spine surgeries. The results showed significantly reduced postoperative drainage output and duration, perioperative hidden blood loss, and length of hospital stay in the tTXA group.

Asymptomatic Joint Bleeding and Joint Health in Hemophilia: A Review of Variables, Methods, and Biomarkers

Richard Gooding et al.

Summary: Joint health is crucial for the quality of life in patients with hemophilia, and early prevention and treatment of joint abnormalities are key. Early and sustained prophylaxis with factor replacements can improve long-term joint outcomes, but some patients may develop arthropathy despite good bleeding outcomes. Imaging techniques and biomarkers can detect early joint damage, highlighting the importance of establishing relevant tools and treatment methods.
