Journal ArticleDOI

An investigational RNAi therapeutic targeting antithrombin for the treatment of hemophilia A and B.

TL;DR: Fitusiran is well tolerated, with minor local injection site reactions, but in one subject with severe hemophilia A, the concomitant use of daily high-dose factor VIII, inconsistent with trial guidance to avoid high, repeat doses of clotting factor, was associated with fatal thrombosis, suggesting the need for caution when using hemostatic agents in conjunction with fitusiran.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emicizumab prophylaxis in patients with haemophilia A with and without inhibitors.

TL;DR: Emicizumab is a bispecific monoclonal antibody that mimics factor VIII (FVIII) by binding to factors IXa and X to promote hemostasis in haemophilia A and HA with inhibitors (HA‐I).
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene therapy in hemophilia A: a cost-effectiveness analysis

TL;DR: Treatment of severe hemophilia A with gene therapy is likely to be cost-saving or cost-effective compared with FVIII prophylaxis, and gene therapy was dominant in 92% of model iterations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cost-effectiveness of rivaroxaban versus warfarin anticoagulation for the prevention of recurrent venous thromboembolism: A U.S. perspective

TL;DR: Prophylactic anticoagulation with rivaroxaban appears to be a cost effective, and perhaps cost saving, alternative to warfarin for the prevention of recurrent VTE.
