Michael Makris: Early Clinical Results of AAV8-BDD FVIII Gene Therapy in Hemophilia A
Michael Makris, Emeritus Professor of Haemostasis and Thrombosis at the University of Sheffield, shared on LinkedIn about a recent article by Wei Liu et al, published in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy:
”New Haemophilia A phase 1 gene therapy study from China.
Used AAV8 with BDD FVIII.
Two cohorts: 2e12 and 4e12.
Prophylactic steroids +/- tacrolimus.
FVIII:C at 144 weeks of 2e12 was 5.6 iu/dl.
FVIII:C at 104 weeks of 4e12 was 42.7 iu/dl.
As with other AAV FVIII gene therapies, FVIII:C falls with time, chromogenic > 1-stage FVIII, and there is significant variation in achieved FVIII levels between patients.”
