...Abstract |
Introduction: Despite substantial
advances in the treatment of Hemophilia A with the use of concentrated
factor VIII preparations during recent decades, bleeding episodes still
occur from time to time. The development of inhibitors significantly
reduces the efficacy of traditional replacement therapy, seriously
increasing morbidity and mortality in these patients. Emicizumab
(HEMLIBRA)® is a chimeric bispecific humanized antibody that bridges
activated FIX and FX and thus restores the function of missing activated
FVIII. Key words: Emicizumab, hemophilia A, treatment
