We are hopeful that this new treatment offering will help redefine possibilities for hemophilia patients in India.”

Commenting on the benefits of prophylaxis for hemophilia A patients, Dr. Sandeep Arora, Head of Medical Affairs and Patient Services - India, Takeda*, said, “Individuals with severe hemophilia A have recurrent hemarthrosis, fragmentation of joint cartilage, bone destruction, and crippling which can be effectively reduced through prophylaxis as opposed to on-demand therapy. Studies show that an innovative extended half-life, Adynovate, helps patients to reduce dosing and infusion frequency thereby improving treatment adherence while providing personalized prophylactic coverage. Adynovate has been tested in a comprehensive global clinical program demonstrating favorable safety and efficacy results that offer effective bleed resolution, better joint health, and almost ZERO spontaneous bleeds in majority”
