Our panel of experts will explore the practical implications of the changing hemophilia treatment landscape. They will discuss optimal ways to integrate extended half-life (EHL) factor products into management, ongoing challenges to hemophilia care, and the development of novel small molecules as well as the latest in gene therapy.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants will:

• Have increased knowledge regarding
  • Advances in pressing issues in hemophilia, such as inhibitors, monitoring, or joint health
  • Outcomes from long-term efficacy and safety assessments of established EHL factor products
  • Clinical trial data from new/emerging EHL factor products and nonfactor replacement therapies
• Demonstrate greater confidence in their ability to
  • Use EHL factor products appropriately in patients with hemophilia

Target Audience

This activity is intended for hematologists, pediatricians, and other healthcare professionals who treat patients with hemophilia.

Goal Statement

The goal of the activity is to discuss the latest advances in the management of hemophilia, including the evolving role of extended half-life factor products and emerging data on small molecule approaches and gene therapy.
