New studies suggest that higher target FVIII levels are necessary to prevent clinical and subclinical bleeding in patients with hemophilia.1 According to current WFH guidelines, FVIII levels of 3-5% or higher are the target for minimizing bleeding risk. However, factor levels <40% define the range of mild hemophilia, so only levels above 40% allow the non-hemophilic range to be achieved.2
Despite advances in treatment and increased health equity for people with hemophilia today, there are still unmet needs that impact quality of life.1
Higher factor levels have been shown to be associated with a lower risk of bleeding and improved joint health and quality of life.3-9
ALTUVOCT® (efanesoctocog alfa) maintained FVIII levels within or close to the normal range for most of the week.10
