Intraindividual bleeding outcomes in patients with hemophilia A on emicizumab prophylaxis in Australia.

ABSTRACT: Emicizumab became routinely available in Australia in November 2020 as regular prophylaxis for certain patients with hemophilia A (HA). We performed an intraindividual comparison of bleeding outcomes in Australian patients with HA before and after commencement of emicizumab. Data regarding demographics, severity, treatment, inhibitors, and number and type of intraindividual treated bleeds before and after starting emicizumab in patients with HA were extracted from the Australian Bleeding Disorders Registry. As of April 2022, there were 459 eligible patients with HA on emicizumab in Australia, 397 of 459 (86%) of whom had severe disease. Overall, 59 of 459 (13%) had a current inhibitor.
