Monitoring of Nonacog Beta Pegol: One-Stage Clotting Assay With Kaolin Reagent as a Practical Alternative to Chromogenic Methods
Accurate monitoring of nonacog beta pegol (N9-GP) is essential to ensure appropriate treatment and to avoid under- or overdosing, which may result in clinical complications. The product's extended half-life, achieved through molecular modification, poses challenges for activity measurement, particularly when using a one-stage clotting assay (OSA). Therefore, a chromogenic substrate assay (CSA) is preferred, although it may be less practical for urgent or routine monitoring.

A Comprehensive Approach: Addressing Psychological Needs in Gene Therapy for Haemophilia
Gene therapy (GT) represents a transformative development in the treatment of haemophilia, offering the potential for long-lasting symptom control after a single administration. Although the scientific and medical aspects of this innovation have been widely studied, its psychological impact remains under-addressed.
Morphological Variations in Haemophilic Knee Arthropathy: Surgical Implications for Total Knee Arthroplasty Component Selection and Bone Preparation
Knee arthropathy affects 90% of patients with severe haemophilia, with unique morphological changes making TKA technically challenging. We evaluated morphological features of haemophilic knees compared to osteoarthritic controls and provide evidence-based surgical recommendations.
Coagulation Factor Consumption and Medium- to Long-Term Outcomes of Achilles Tendon Lengthening With and Without External Fixation in Haemophilia
Achilles tendon lengthening combined with external fixation (EF) has shown promising outcomes in managing haemophilia-related Achilles tendon contracture.
Clinical, Obstetric-Gynaecological and HRQoL Data of Female VWD Patients in the WIL-QoL Study
Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is one of the most common hereditary disorders of primary haemostasis. Females with VWD often report heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) that can significantly impact health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
Cost Analysis of Radioactive Versus Arthroscopic Synovectomy in Haemophilia: A Brazilian Modelling Approach
Radioactive synovectomy (RSO) is an alternative to arthroscopic synovectomy (AR), for treating synovitis. RSO reduces the number of hemarthroses, being less invasive and less costly.
Acquired Bleeding Disorders Associated With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: An Update
In Silico Assessment of Limited Blood Sampling Strategies for Individualised Pharmacokinetic-guided Dosing of Efanesoctocog Alfa in Haemophilia A Patients
Efanesoctocog alfa is a novel factor VIII (FVIII) concentrate with a unique molecular design that enables Von Willebrand Factor-independent clearance in patients with haemophilia A. Limited sampling strategies (LSSs) are necessary to implement accurate pharmacokinetic (PK)-guided dosing for efanesoctocog alfa in clinical practice.
Real-World Data on Quality of Life in Relation to the Type of Prophylaxis in Polish Children With Haemophilia A-A Nationwide Study
Modern prophylaxis in haemophilia aims not only to prevent bleeding but also to ensure a quality of life (QoL) comparable to healthy peers. Real-world data on health-related QoL (HRQoL) in children receiving personalised pharmacokinetic (PK)-guided prophylaxis are limited.
Clinical Course of Residual Flexion Contracture After Total Knee Arthroplasty in Patients With Haemophilic Arthropathy
This study aims to evaluate the natural course and resolution of flexion contracture following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in individuals with haemophilic arthropathy.
Health-Related Quality of Life in Adult Patients With von Willebrand Disease From Germany: Results of the WIL-QoL Study
Assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is relatively new in von Willebrand disease (VWD). So far, generic questionnaires have mainly been used for HRQoL assessment in VWD.
Identification of Iron Overload-Associated Biomarkers in the Synovium of Haemophilic Arthropathy
Haemophilic arthropathy (HA) is a common complication of haemophilia, characterized by progressive joint degeneration due to recurrent bleeding. Iron overload from erythrocyte lysis is thought to play a key role in HA pathogenesis, but its molecular basis remains unclear.
Total Knee Arthroplasty in Severe Hemophilic Arthropathy With Stiff Knees(Preoperative Flexion Range of Motion ≤40°): Functional Outcomes and Long-Term Survivorship
This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with haemophilia A and severely stiff knees (preoperative flexion range of motion ≤40°) with a focus on functional recovery, implant stability, and complication rates.
Safety and Effectiveness of Emicizumab in People With Haemophilia A Enrolled in the ATHN 7 Haemophilia Natural History Study
The Natural History Study of the Safety, Effectiveness, and Practice of Treatment for People with Haemophilia (ATHN 7) monitors use of contemporary haemophilia therapies, including emicizumab, a bispecific antibody substituting for activated factor (F)VIII in people with haemophilia A (HA).
Safety, Efficacy and Treatment Patterns of rIX-FP in Previously Untreated Paediatric Haemophilia B Patients: A Retrospective Chart Review in Japan
Limited real-world data exist on recombinant fusion protein-linking coagulation factor IX (FIX) with albumin (rIX-FP) in paediatric previously untreated patients (PUPs) with haemophilia B, particularly in infants.
Family-Borne Financial Costs of Managing Paediatric Haemophilia in a Government Facility in North India
In India, persons with haemophilia (PWH) are entitled to free diagnostic services, clotting-factor concentrates and physiotherapy. However, families often continue to experience substantial financial hardships for regular treatment. This study aimed to quantify the expenditure borne by such families of PWH treated at our centre and identify contributing factors.
The Laboratory Monitoring of Altuvoct (Efanesoctocog Alfa): Recommendations From the Laboratory Working Party of the United Kingdom Haemophilia Centres Doctor's Organisation
As assays tailored to Altuvoct are necessary, it is essential that every request for a FVIII level for monitoring of Altuvoct clearly identifies when it has been used for treatment of the patient and details the time of sampling relative to timing infusion.
Impact of Fidanacogene Elaparvovec Gene Therapy on Joint Health in Adults With Haemophilia B: Results From a Phase 3 Study

Characterising Glanzmann Thrombasthenia in the United States: Real-World Data From the EPIC Cosmos Dataset
Glanzmann Thrombasthenia (GT) is a rare autosomal recessive bleeding disorder characterised by defective platelet aggregation due to abnormalities in the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex. With a lack of large real-world database studies, our study aimed to characterise the demographic, clinical and treatment profiles of GT patients using a large, national database.
