Concizumab: A Breakthrough Prophylaxis for Hemophilia B and A with Inhibitors
The World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) shared a breakthrough for hemophilia with inhibitors on X:
”While treatment options have advanced, people with hemophilia B and inhibitors still face major gaps. A new review explores concizumab, a subcutaneous prophylaxis option that could help close that gap and improve outcomes.”

Despite advancements in hemophilia treatment, people with hemophilia A or B (HA, HB) and inhibitors face significant unmet needs, particularly in prophylaxis.
While emicizumab addresses prophylaxis for HA with inhibitors, no such option existed for HB until the arrival of concizumab.
This novel, subcutaneous treatment—approved since 2023 in countries like Canada, Australia, Japan, and Switzerland—is the first prophylactic therapy for HB with inhibitors.
The drug also offers new hope for HA patients with persistent bleeds on emicizumab.
With a unique mechanism of action, convenient multi-dose pen delivery, and quick washout, concizumab is poised to improve quality of life and long-term outcomes in this historically underserved population.
