Gene Therapy for Hemophilia: What Does the Future Hold?

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

Target Audience
This educational activity is directed toward hematologist/oncologists, pediatricians, emergency medicine clinicians, geneticists, genetic counselors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered nurses, and other health care professionals involved in the management of hemophilia.

Program Overview
Despite recent improvements in options for its treatment, hemophilia continues to have a significant negative impact on patients’ functionality and health-related quality of life. Gene therapy for hemophilia has the potential to reduce the treatment burden for patients and their care providers by eliminating the need for regular prophylaxis. Gene therapy for hemophilia presents a challenge to the existing structure of hemophilia treatment centers and requires enhanced collaboration and information-sharing to maximize benefits and minimize risks.

During this Clinical Consultations™, 2 expert faculty will discuss the role of gene therapy in treating patients with hemophilia. They will discuss the research that has led to the selection of viral vectors, the results of clinical trials to date, and the changes that need to occur within the health care system and hemophilia treatment centers to accommodate the use of this exciting new therapy.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
Assess the role of gene therapy in the treatment of hemophilia A and B
Analyze clinical trial findings regarding gene therapy in patients with hemophilia A and B
