  • Overview

    Hemophilia A is an X-linked genetic disorder characterized by a deficiency in normal factor VIII resulting in an increased risk of bleeding. Repeated bleeds, notably in the joints, lead to chronic pain and loss of function. Joint damage can be prevented, at least in part, with prophylactic factor VIII replacement. Although factor VIII can be replaced, its intravenous administration is burdensome, which may impair adherence. Furthermore, about 30% of patients treated with factor VIII will develop inhibitors—neutralizing alloantibodies to factor VIII—making factor VIII replacement ineffective. Although patients with inhibitors can be treated with bypassing agents, these agents are expensive and less predictable than factor VIII.

    However, there is now another option for both patients with and without inhibitors: bispecific antibody non–factor replacement prophylaxis. It is important for the interprofessional care team to be aware of how this treatment compares with traditional prophylactic agents, its safety and efficacy data, and how to appropriately incorporate prophylaxis therapy based on the latest real-world clinical data.

    In this educational activity, an expert faculty will review and provide their interprofessional perspectives on currently approved prophylaxis therapy in hemophilia A, including the benefits of prophylaxis and adherence, real-world experience, and patient quality of life factors.
