HEMLIBRA was studied in pediatric hemophilia A patients with and without factor VIII inhibitors1,5
Children with inhibitors4
n=88
1.5 mg/kg QW, 3 mg/kg Q2W, or 6 mg/kg Q4W
“The decision to prescribe HEMLIBRA was made together with the patient’s family. They were excited about a subcutaneous option and the potential for better efficacy and less bleeding.”
—Michael Callaghan, MD, Children’s Hospital of Michigan
Based on a randomized trial (N=65) with a mean observation period of 49 months.
*Results from a multicenter, randomized, open-label trial of young boys (<30 months old) with severe hemophilia A without inhibitors randomized to regular prophylactic recombinant FVIII infusions or to an enhanced episodic infusion schedule. Clinical assessments of index joints were performed with plain-film x-rays or magnetic resonance imaging at age 6.20
The HAVEN 2 study evaluated patient-reported hemophilia-related symptoms (painful swellings and presence of joint pain) and physical functioning (pain with movement) using the Physical Health Score of the Hemophilia-specific Quality of Life Short Form (Haemo-QoL-SF) questionnaire for patients ≥8 to <12 years of age.
ABRs shown are for treated bleeds.
*ABR was calculated with a negative binomial regression model, accounting for the different follow-up times.

INTRA-INDIVIDUAL COMPARISON
ABRs shown are for treated bleeds.
†Based on HAVEN 2: Non-randomized, multicenter, open-label clinical trial in pediatric patients (age <12 years, or 12–17 years who weigh <40 kg) with hemophilia A with FVIII inhibitors. All patients received HEMLIBRA prophylaxis at 3 mg/kg QW for the first 4 weeks. Sixty-eight patients received 1.5 mg/kg QW, 10 patients received 3 mg/kg Q2W, and 10 patients received 6 mg/kg Q4W thereafter.4
‡A comparison of data from HAVEN 2 vs data in the NIS prior to enrollment.
Intraindividual comparison of 15 participants who previously took BPA prophylaxis showed that emicizumab prophylaxis reduced the ABR by 99% (95% CI: 97.4; 99.4).4
As observed over at least 52 weeks (HAVEN 2) and at least 24 weeks (HAVEN 4).1,4
*Based on HAVEN 4: A single-arm, multicenter, open-label trial in 41 adult and adolescent males with hemophilia A with or without FVIII inhibitors who previously received either on-demand or prophylactic treatment with FVIII or BPAs. All patients received HEMLIBRA prophylaxis at 3 mg/kg QW for the first 4 weeks followed by 6 mg/kg Q4W thereafter.1
†HOHOEMI was a non-randomized study in pediatric patients (Japanese children <12 years) with hemophilia A without FVIII inhibitors. All patients received HEMLIBRA prophylaxis at 3 mg/kg once weekly for the first 4 weeks. Six patients received 3 mg/kg Q2W an 7 patients received 6 mg/kg Q4W thereafter.5
