Article Synopsis
  • Once-weekly efanesoctocog alfa was tested in a phase 3 study for children under 12 with severe hemophilia A, showing promising results in preventing bleeding and maintaining factor VIII activity.
  • The study enrolled 74 patients, none of whom developed factor VIII inhibitors, and most experienced non-serious adverse events during the treatment.
  • With low annualized bleeding rates and a significant percentage of patients experiencing no bleeding episodes, efanesoctocog alfa demonstrated safety and effectiveness for this age group.
