An extended half-life fusion protein linking recombinant FIX (rFIX) with human albumin (rIX-FP) has been developed for the treatment of patients with haemophilia B and is indicated for dosing up to every 14 days. This analysis evaluated real-world outcomes in patients switching to rIX-FP from the previous FIX product in Italy, Belgium and the UK.
