Introduction: The pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy and safety of moroctocog alfa (AF-CC) have been demonstrated in haemophilia A patients aged ≥6 years.
Aim: These studies aimed to further describe moroctocog alfa (AF-CC) experience in paediatric patients (<12 years) with severe haemophilia A (FVIII:C < 1%).
Methods: Two prospective, open-label studies enrolled patients aged <12 years: one study with 37 previously treated patients (PTPs) and another with 23 previously untreated patients (PUPs).

: Risk for thrombotic events with factor IX replacement therapy in patients with haemophilia B remains a concern for patients, those who treat them, and regulatory agencies, based on experience with early use of prothrombin complex concentrates. The current post hoc analysis assessed the incidence of thrombotic events and changes in prothrombin fragment 1 + 2, thrombin-antithrombin complex, and D-dimer in 221 patients with haemophilia B who received nonacog alfa in clinical studies. Thrombotic event and coagulation marker data were collected from 8 interventional studies utilizing on-demand, prophylactic, and preventive regimens in patients with haemophilia B.

Aim: This multicentre, open-label study evaluated the efficacy and safety of once-weekly prophylaxis with nonacog alfa compared with on-demand treatment in adolescent and adult patients.
Methods: Males aged 12-65 years with moderately severe to severe haemophilia B (FIX:C ≤ 2%) were eligible for enrolment.
Background: General practitioners/dermatologists may be aware of musculoskeletal symptoms in patients with psoriasis but may have difficulty accurately detecting psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
Objective: We sought to evaluate 3 PsA screening questionnaires-the Psoriasis and Arthritis Screening Questionnaire (PASQ), Psoriasis Epidemiology Screening Tool (PEST), and Toronto Psoriatic Arthritis Screen (ToPAS)-based on rheumatologist assessment in patients with psoriasis.
Methods: Consecutive unselected patients with psoriasis, initially evaluated by dermatologists for plaque psoriasis, were randomized to receive 1 of 3 questionnaires.
Objective: To assess cardiometabolic biomarkers in patients with psoriasis before and after etanercept treatment.
Methods: Patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis were randomized to etanercept 50 mg once or twice weekly, double-blinded. Cardiometabolic biomarkers were assessed at baseline and after 12 weeks of treatment (n = 273).
Background: Prompt identification and treatment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in patients with psoriasis is critical to reducing the risk of joint damage, disability, and comorbidities.
Objective: We sought to estimate PsA prevalence in patients with plaque psoriasis in 34 dermatology centers in 7 European and North American countries.
Methods: Consecutive patients were evaluated by dermatologists for plaque psoriasis and subsequently by rheumatologists for PsA.
Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of two etanercept dose regimens for psoriasis treatment.
Methods: Subjects were ≥18 years old with stable moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Subjects were randomised to etanercept 50 mg once weekly (QW) or 50 mg twice weekly (BIW) double-blind for 12 weeks, followed by 50 mg QW open label in all subjects through week 24.
