About Hemophilia A

Hemophilia A is the most common severe inherited coagulation disorder, caused by deficiency of clotting factor VIII. Severe disease presents with spontaneous bleeding into joints and muscles; moderate and mild forms bleed with injury or surgery. Emicizumab (Hemlibra) and gene therapy (valoctocogene roxaparvovec) have dramatically changed treatment. Inhibitor development (antibodies against factor replacement) is a major complication driving clinical trial interest.

Before you apply

Things trial teams commonly ask about for Hemophilia A. Not eligibility rules; those are set by each study.

  • Severity (severe below 1%, moderate 1-5%, mild 5-40% factor VIII activity) is the primary eligibility criterion
  • Inhibitor status (presence or absence of anti-factor antibodies) defines major trial categories
  • Prior gene therapy exposure may exclude from new gene therapy trials - confirm before applying
