The therapeutic landscape of hemophilia continues to evolve at a rapid pace, providing clinicians and patients new opportunities to select treatment to address individual needs and characteristics. In this fast-moving, 1-hour accredited activity, Craig Kessler, MD, and Guy Young, MD, share their thoughts and experience with clotting factor concentrates, recombinant factor, factor VIII mimetics, rebalancing agents, and gene therapies. The safety and efficacy of late-phase investigational products are also discussed as these agents have the potential to address unmet needs and further transform patient care.
