Background: Hemophilia B is a coagulation disorder that puts patients at an increased risk of bleeding. Factor (F) IX replacement therapy is traditionally used in such cases to maintain hemostasis. Nonacog beta pegol (N9-GP; Refixia) is a glycoPEGylated, extended half-life, recombinant FIX product that has demonstrated safety and efficacy when used to manage persons with hemophilia B.

Key Clinical Question: Given the limited real-world evidence, we aimed to explore the role of N9-GP in maintaining hemostasis in persons with hemophilia B undergoing surgery.

Clinical Approach: In this case series, we report real-world clinical experience with N9-GP to maintain hemostasis in persons with hemophilia B undergoing major and minor surgeries.

Conclusion: The majority of cases presented in this case series had an excellent or very good hemostatic response, with no reported surgical complications related to the use of N9-GP.

Purpose: Prophylaxis with recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII) products is the gold-standard treatment for hemophilia A. However, interindividual differences affect the half-life and clearance of rFVIII products. The myPKFiT is a web-based medical-device software program for population pharmacokinetic (PK) simulation of FVIII products to guide accurate FVIII doses and dosing intervals.

The Health-Related Quality of Life scores and joint health in children and young adults with hemophilia.

Turk J Pediatr

December 2024

Division of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, Department of Pediatrics, İstanbul Faculty of Medicine, İstanbul University, İstanbul, Türkiye.

Background: Patients with hemophilia should be evaluated for joint health and overall health in their visits. The aims of this study were to evaluate joint health and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with mild, moderate, and severe hemophilia; determine which patient groups to focus on and whether there are any neglected patient groups.

Methods: This was a single-center, cross-sectional study.

Background: The impact of nonneutralizing antibodies (NNAs) in moderate hemophilia is elusive.

Objectives: To explore the presence of NNAs in Nordic persons with moderate hemophilia A (MHA) and B (MHB) in relation to treatment modality, clinical outcome, history of inhibitor, and the corresponding factor VIII (FVIII)/factor IX (FIX) gene mutation.

Methods: A cross-sectional multicenter study covering persons with MHA and MHB in Sweden, Finland, and Norway.

In the pursuit of personalized medicine, there is a growing demand for computational models with parameters that are easily obtainable to accelerate the development of potential solutions. Blood tests, owing to their affordability, accessibility, and routine use in healthcare, offer valuable biomarkers for assessing hemostatic balance in thrombotic and bleeding disorders. Incorporating these biomarkers into computational models of blood coagulation is crucial for creating patient-specific models, which allow for the analysis of the influence of these biomarkers on clot formation.

Background: Clinical research has offered many definitions and fragmented perspectives of joint morbidity in haemophilia. As joint damage, pain and mobility impairment can be present without clinical record of persistent bleeding, a person-centric joint morbidity characterisation remained a priority for the haemophilia community, giving rise to the 'problem joint' concept. As diagnosing and managing joint morbidity is critical, the aim of this study was to analyse the holistic burden of problem joints in people with moderate or severe haemophilia A (HA).
