Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Researchers Find Hemophilia A Drug May Be Effective for Select People with Hemophilia B
Researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) found that emicizumab, a widely used drug for hemophilia A, could also improve blood clotting for select people with hemophilia B depending on their genes. The preclinical study, recently published in Blood, offers proof that this class of hemophilia A drug could potentially be used to treat hemophilia B.
