ASH Issues New Standards for Iron Deficiency Diagnosis
September 16, 2026
The American Society of Hematology (ASH) issued new clinical guidelines to improve how iron deficiency is recognized and diagnosed. The new standards address challenges to diagnosis including variations in testing practices, inconsistent thresholds, and identify higher ferritin levels at which clinicians can help identify iron deficiency earlier and more accurately.
Study Shows Promise for Next Gen Hemophilia B Gene Therapy
September 15, 2026
Scientists in Belgium are working on a next generation gene therapy for hemophilia B to extend the half-life and improve effectiveness of the treatment. Lab results from experiments in mice showed a significant increase in blood FIX levels and shortened blood clotting times.
Alvotech and Lotus Propose Biosimilars to Hemlibra
September 1, 2026
Alvotech and Lotus Pharmaceuticals have partnered to commercialize a biosimilar to Hemlibra known as AVT87. Biosimilar medications closely match name brand biologics in a similar way to generics using the same active ingredients and introducing them into the market can lower costs for patients overall.
Long-Term Study of Hemlibra Shows Safe Bleeding Control Over 5 Years
August 4, 2026
A real world study over five years showed that emicizumab (Hemlibra) reduced bleeding rates, provided safe bleeding control, with over 60% of patients experiencing no bleeding episodes.
Study Shows Experimental Treatment Maintains Low Bleeding Rate for Hemophilia A Patients
July 17, 2026
Interim data from an ongoing extension study looking at the long-term safety and efficacy of once-weekly, once-every-two-weeks, and once-monthly denecimig (Mim8) showed that the antibody therapy continued to maintain low bleeding rates in children, adolescents, and adults with hemophilia A.
Small Study Compares Immune Responses of Replacement Therapy and Hemlibra in Children
June 30, 2026
A small study found that children with hemophilia A showed changes in certain immune cells and inflammatory responses compared to children without the condition. The type of preventative treatment they received appeared to shape the immune response in different ways, showing that Hemlibra produced fewer inflammatory responses than factor replacement therapies.
NBDF Recommends Routine Iron Screening for People with Bleeding Disorders
June 16, 2026
The National Bleeding Disorders Foundation has released standardized guidelines for screening for iron deficiency for people who have bleeding disorders, and the recommendation should help give doctors clear guidance on when to screen.
FDA Expands Hympavzi to Include Pediatric Treatment
June 9, 2026
The FDA approved an expanded indication for Hympavzi (marstacimab), allowing it to be used in children ages 6-11 years with hemophilia B, with or without inhibitors. The expanded approval allows the treatment to become the first non-factor therapy available for pediatric patients in this age group.
Trial Shows Breakthrough Bleeds and Minor Surgeries Successfully Treated for Patients on Hympavzi
May 19, 2026
A large clinical trial showed that the use of prophylactic injection therapy of Hympavzi (marstacimab) for adults and children helped prevent bleeding episodes for patients with both hemophilia A and B. Breakthrough bleeds that did occur, or minor surgical procedures that were needed were effectively treated with standard clotting factor replacement therapy.
FDA Grants Fast Track Status to 1-Time Stem Cell Therapy for Hemophilia A
May 5, 2026
The FDA has awarded both fast track and rare pediatric disease designations to a single-use stem cell therapy being developed for hemophilia A by Expression Therapeutics. The decision follows a Phase 1 clinical trial showing a single administration of the therapy led to sustained factor expression and the annual bleeding rate dropped to zero.
New Study Finds Bispecific Antibody Prophylaxis Reduces Bleeding in Hemophilia A
May 4, 2026
Researchers in Italy have found that prophylaxis with Mim8, a novel bispecific antibody designed to replicate function of activated factor VIII, was superior to both on-demand therapy and clotting factor concentrate prophylaxis in reducing annualized rate of bleeding events, regardless of inhibitor status.
Research Shows Regular Excercise Eases Chronic Pain in Hemophilia
April 17, 2026
A study published in Pain Management Nursing reviewed published research about the effect of physical excercise, including aerobic, strength training, and balance exercises, found that regular exercise may help ease chronic pain for those with hemophilia.
