NCT ID NCT03974113

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests fitusiran, a monthly injection, in boys aged 1 to under 12 with severe hemophilia A or B who have developed inhibitors (antibodies that block standard treatment). The goal is to find the right dose to safely lower a protein called antithrombin, which helps prevent bleeding episodes. Researchers will monitor side effects and drug levels in the blood.

What this could lead to

If successful, fitusiran could offer a convenient, monthly injection to prevent bleeding episodes in young children with hemophilia who have developed inhibitors to standard treatments.

What could go wrong

This is an early-to-mid-stage trial with only 32 participants, so results may not apply to all children. Risks include potential side effects from lowering antithrombin levels, such as blood clots.
