Phase III Clinical Trials
Nov 21EMA CHMP starts reviewing an application to extend the Hemlibra indication to include treatment of adult and paediatric patients with haemophilia A without factor VIII (FVIII) inhibitors who have mild or moderate disease for whom prophylaxis is clinically indicated [8].
Oct 20Filings now planned earlier in 2021 [5].
Apr 20EU & US filings planned for 2022 [2].

Bridges activated factor IX and factor X to restore the function of missing activated factor VIII that is needed for effective haemostasis
Haemophilia A is an inherited, serious disorder whereby blood does not clot properly, leading to uncontrolled and often spontaneous bleeding. Haemophilia affects around 20,000 people in the US, with haemophilia A being the most common form and approximately 50-60% of people living with a severe form of the disorder [1].

Trial or other data
Jul 21Final analysis of PIIIb STASEY study (n=193) found no new cases of thrombotic microangiopathy or serious thrombotic events associated with emicizumab; ~82.6% of patients had no bleeding episodes that required management over the treatment period of 103.1 weeks [7].
Feb 21PIII HAVEN 6 study is now expected to finish collecting primary outcome data in Nov 21 [6].
Jul 20Second interim analysis of the open-label PIII STASEY study (n=193) primarily assessing safety and tolerability of emicizumab identified no new safety signals. A separate analysis also suggests pts may be able to undergo certain minor surgeries without additional preventative coagulation treatment and major surgeries with additional prophylactic coagulation factor. [4]
Feb 20PIII HAVEN 6 study to evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of emicizumab in participants with mild or moderate haemophilia A without inhibitors against factor VIII starts (NCT04158648). 50 children and adults with mild (FVIII level between >5% and <40%) or moderate (FVIII level between ≥1% and ≤5%) congenital haemophilia A without FVIII inhibitors will be recruited in countries including the US, EU & UK. Primary outcome includes adverse events and bleeding episodes; collection of these data is due to complete Jul 22 [2,3].
