Can a clotting boost make surgery safer for hemophilia patients?
NCT ID NCT05695391
First seen Jul 31, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether a medication called eptacog beta can safely prevent excessive bleeding in people with hemophilia A or B who have inhibitors and need major surgery. Participants receive the drug during and after their operation, and doctors measure how well bleeding is controlled. The goal is to find a reliable option for this high-risk group.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Eptacog beta (activated), a recombinant clotting factor VIIa
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a reliable way to control bleeding during major surgery for people with hemophilia who have developed inhibitors, making operations safer.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-arm study, so results may not be definitive. There is also a risk of blood clots or the treatment not being effective enough in all patients.
