Roche reports positive haemophilia A study data for emicizumab
Roche has announced the publication of new clinical trial data that demonstrates the safety and efficacy of emicizumab in the treatment of haemophilia A.
Results from the HAVEN 1 phase III study, which evaluated once-weekly subcutaneous emicizumab prophylaxis in adults and adolescents with haemophilia A with inhibitors, have been published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
A clinically meaningful and statistically significant reduction of 87 percent was observed in the number of treated bleeds with prophylactic emicizumab when compared with on-demand treatment, while all 12 secondary endpoints also delivered positive results.
These included a statistically significant reduction of 79 percent in treated bleeds in a first-of-its-kind intra-patient analysis of a subset of patients comparing two prophylaxis regimens.
Data from this study and HAVEN 2, which assessed the drug's performance in children younger than 12 years of age, will support future regulatory applications for emicizumab.
Dr Sandra Horning, Roche's chief medical officer and head of global product development, said: "We believe emicizumab has the potential to make a meaningful difference for people with haemophilia A with inhibitors, while also reducing the burden of managing the condition with a subcutaneous once-weekly administration."
