This Medudy course is a video tutorial for physicians on the topic of “Gene Therapy for Hemophilia B”.
The format used here, a “Journal Club Summary”, summarizes the latest and most clinically relevant studies for you.
Current treatment of hemophilia B primarily involves episodic intravenous administration of factor IX. Despite improvements in reducing infusion frequency, these therapies remain non-curative and are associated with significant treatment burden. Gene therapy presents a potentially transformative strategy by offering sustained endogenous factor IX expression after a single administration. Fidanacogene elaparvovec is an adeno-associated virus-based gene therapy designed to deliver sustained production of FIX-R338L using a liver-specific expression system. Today’s study presents findings from the phase 3 clinical evaluation of fidanacogene elaparvovec in individuals with hemophilia B.
