Michael Makris: 3 PTP Haemophilia A in Japan Have Developed FVIII Inhibitors Following Treatment with Efanesoctocog Alfa

Michael Makris, Emeritus Professor of Haemostasis and Thrombosis at the University of Sheffield, shared on LinkedIn:

“Three Previously Treated Haemophilia A Patients (PTPs) in Japan have developed FVIII inhibitors following treatment with efanesoctocog alfa (Altuviiio/Altuvoct). One had severe haemophilia, and the other two had moderate and mild disease. Only 38 patients were exposed to efanesoctocog alfa in the centres these 3 patients were reported from.

This is a very much higher rate than expected, and the reasons are unclear.

Was it chance? We will know very soon, as this drug is now used extensively in PTP haemophilia A patients around the world.”
