Emicizumab In a Preterm Infant with Severe Hemophilia A – RPTH

RPTH Journal shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Eman Hassan et al, adding:

”Emicizumab in a preterm infant with severe hemophilia A

Emicizumab has transformed prophylaxis in hemophilia A, but data in preterm and very low-birth-weight infants are virtually nonexistent.

What do you do when a baby is born at 30 weeks with severe HA and a high risk of intracranial hemorrhage?

A new case report in RPTH Journal describes exactly this scenario and the multidisciplinary decision-making behind it.

Key details:

  • Male infant born at 30+4 weeks to a known HA carrier
  • Severe HA confirmed; intracranial hemorrhage excluded on cranial ultrasound
  • Emicizumab prophylaxis initiated at just 26 hours of life
  • Loading phase completed and maintenance dosing achieved with no bleeding, thrombosis, or adverse events”
