Hemophilia B

Also known as Factor IX deficiency, Christmas disease, F9 deficiency

Hemophilia B is caused by deficiency of clotting factor IX, resulting in a bleeding phenotype similar to but distinct from hemophilia A. Fitusiran (Alhemo), a subcutaneous antithrombin inhibitor, works for both hemophilia types without need

About Hemophilia B

Hemophilia B is caused by deficiency of clotting factor IX, resulting in a bleeding phenotype similar to but distinct from hemophilia A. Fitusiran (Alhemo), a subcutaneous antithrombin inhibitor, works for both hemophilia types without needing factor replacement. Gene therapy (etranacogene dezaparvovec / Hemgenix) received FDA approval in 2022 and provides sustained factor IX levels for years from a single infusion.

Before you apply

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

  • Severity class and baseline factor IX activity level (IU/dL) are required for trial enrollment
  • Gene therapy trials typically require no inhibitors and no prior AAV5 gene therapy
  • Hepatitis history and liver health are screened carefully in gene therapy eligibility
