Emicizumab and unmet needs of patients with hemophilia a who are managed with replacement therapies

Hemophilia A is managed with coagulation clotting factor VIII (FVIII) therapy that poses significant challenges, such as a high treatment burden, immunogenicity, inconsistent hemostatic cover, poor treatment outcomes, and musculoskeletal progression despite adequate prophylactic treatment. Various non-factor therapies, such as several natural anticoagulant inhibitors and factor FVIII mimetics, have been developed to address these unmet needs. However, the role of emicizumab in addressing these unmet needs remains underexplored.
