The symposium, entitled ‘Conveniently Protecting What Matters: Nuwiq® (Simoctocog Alfa) in PUPs and Personalised Prophylaxis’, focussed on addressing some of the most important clinical needs of people with haemophilia A, and included final data from the NuProtect Study in previously untreated patients (PUPs), which were presented for the first time. The symposium was chaired by Ellis J. Neufeld (St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, USA).
Larisa Belyanskaya, Head of the Octapharma’s Haematology International Business Unit stated “We are very pleased to present the final data from the NuProtect study in PUPs, confirming the favourable rate of inhibitor development with Nuwiq® reported in the earlier interim analysis.“.
Olaf Walter, Board Member at Octapharma, said “The data presented at the symposium build on a broad clinical experience with Nuwiq®. The ISTH congress is a key platform for exchanging information in the international hemophilia field and we are proud to present these new and robust data in PUPs, which we believe will help to improve hemophilia A treatment.”
