Mortality in congenital hemophilia A - a systematic literature review

Charles R. M. Hay et al.

Summary: The study found a strong correlation between mortality and age as well as hemophilia severity, with patients infected with HIV or HCV having a higher risk of death. Causes of death varied, with hemorrhage, HIV, HCV, and hepatic disease being the leading causes of death in people with congenital hemophilia A.

The aptamer BT200 blocks von Willebrand factor and platelet function in blood of stroke patients

Katarina D. Kovacevic et al.

Summary: BT200, a third generation anti-VWF aptamer, showed potential for secondary stroke prevention in patients with large artery atherosclerosis stroke by reducing VWF activity, VWF-dependent platelet function and prolonging closure times. Its target concentration-dependent manner and favorable safety profile in phase I trials make it an interesting drug candidate.

Hemophilia Gene Therapy: Approaching the First Licensed Product

Paul Batty et al.

Summary: The clinical potential of hemophilia gene therapy has been pursued for the past 30 years, with expectations of achieving this goal in the near future. While recent late phase clinical trials have shown promising results, there are still issues regarding efficacy and safety that need further attention. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for the widespread application of this treatment paradigm.
