What’s Slowing Down Gene Therapy Uptake in Hemophilia? Brian O’Mahony Explains the Real-World Barriers
Brian O’Mahony, CEO of Irish Haemophilia Society,former President of WFH and EHC, highlights several key challenges that are currently limiting the widespread adoption of gene therapy in hemophilia in his recently shared post on X:
“Uncertainty about outcomes and side effects,
Complex reimbursement systems,
Availability of other excellent therapies,
Lack of center preparedness and resources.”
Despite the promise of a functional cure, real-world barriers continue to delay broader implementation.
