Background: Recombinant factor VIII Fc fusion protein (rFVIIIFc) is the first extended half-life (EHL) recombinant clotting factor with marketing authorization; it has been available in France since October 2016. However, data and literature about rFVIIIFc in clinical practice are scarce.

Objective: We propose a 1-year clinical and economic outcome evaluation in patients with hemophilia A taking into consideration treatment adherence.

Efficacy and safety of plasma exchange using a double viral inactivated and prion reduced solvent/detergent fresh frozen plasma for the treatment of thrombotic microangiopathy: The first French experience in a single center.

Background: Octaplas LG® is the first plasma with marketing authorisation, available in France only since February 2016. This is a double viral inactivated and prion reduced solvent/detergent fresh frozen plasma. Clinical data on Octaplas LG® use in thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) remains very limited.

A retrospective analysis of characteristic features of responder patients to autologous serum eye drops in routine care.

Purpose: Autologous serum eye drops (ASEDs) are used worldwide to treat dry eye disease (DED). However, the biological composition of ASEDs has not been well investigated, and effectiveness predictive factors remain to be identified. The main objective of this study was to compare the response of patients treated with ASEDs biologically characterized and used for DED routine care.

[Clinical management of patients with hemophilia A in nephrology: Diagnostic and therapeutic challenges illustrated by the cases of 2 patients].

Hemophilia A is an X-linked genetic hemorrhagic disorder characterized by a factor VIII deficiency. The availability of secured substitution products has led to a dramatic improvement of life expectancy in hemophiliac patients. Nowadays, adult hemophiliac patients may develop Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) resulting from age-related comorbidities (hypertension, obesity, diabetes).
