Progress in hemophilia therapy has been remarkable over the last decades with the development of efficacious therapies and extended half-life products based on prophylactic replacement of FVIII and improved understanding of the management of inhibitory antibodies to infused factor and the potential for gene therapy as a therapeutic option.

These activities will review the management of hemophilia A and examine the role of current and emerging therapeutic recommendations. Case vignettes will be presented to highlight the hematology care team’s role in the management of hemophilia A along with the importance of using shared decision-making strategies to help with patient and/or caregiver adherence to treatment plans.

Describe methods to assess inhibitor development in individuals with hemophilia A
