Wolfgang Miesbach: Jan Astermark at the BIC 2025 Presented Potentially the First Oral FVIII Mimetic Treatment for Hemophilia A

Wolfgang Miesbach, Professor of Medicine at Frankfurt University Hospital, shared on Linkedin:

”For decades, oral protein delivery has failed.

Jan Astermark at the BIC meeting 2025 presented comprehensive information on oral factor VIII bispecific treatment for haemophilia A – potentially the first oral FVIII mimetic treatment!

Why is this so groundbreaking?
For decades, oral protein delivery has failed due to three major barriers:

  • Large molecular size (poor absorption/bioavailability)
  • GI instability (narrow pH tolerance, variable factors)
  • High hydrophilicity (can’t cross membrane barriers)

This innovative Inno8 approach systematically addresses each challenge: ✨

  • Optimized size (~30 kDa) via albumin binding technology
  • Enhanced stability through protraction and pH optimization
  • SNAC absorption enhancement for membrane permeability
  • Extended half-life (115h terminal half-life!)
  • Once-daily dosing potential with reduced variability

Inno8 successfully balances all critical aspects for an oral hemophilia drug – Size ✓ Potency ✓Stability ✓ PK ✓ – currently advancing through Phase 1 clinical trials for both patients with and without inhibitors.”
