VIDEO: ‘Exciting’ subcutaneous medication for hemophilia A, B
In this video, Allyson Pishko, MD, MSCE, highlighted two studies from ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition that investigated fitusiran (Sanofi) as treatment for both hemophilia A and B.
“This medication is exciting because it’s subcutaneous, so we’re hoping that will increase compliance with the medication, and it’s also really important that it seems to work in patients who have inhibitors or who would not be expected to respond as well,” said Pishko, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.
