  • 86% Reduction in average annual bleed rate
  • 0 Median annual bleed rate for patients on Alhemo® vs 9.8 for patients on no prophylaxis

Study of the safety and efficacy of Alhemo® for routine prophylaxis in 91 adults and in 42 adolescents aged 12 to 17 years who have hemophilia B with inhibitors or hemophilia A with inhibitors. Participants in the study were treated with either bypassing agents on demand or Alhemo® once-daily prophylaxis over 24 weeks or 32 weeks, respectively. Efficacy was evaluated by comparing the number of treated bleeds between 19 patients who received bypassing agents on demand (no prophylaxis) and 33 patients who received Alhemo® prophylaxis.

How Alhemo® works

Alhemo® blocks a natural protein in your blood that prevents blood from clotting. This protein is called tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI).

 

Blocking TFPI improves clotting of your blood and therefore helps prevent or reduce bleeds when you are lacking clotting factors 8 or 9 and have inhibitors to factor replacement.
