New hemophilia drug may last longer, reducing need for frequent shots
NCT ID NCT06579144
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new drug called efanesoctocog alfa in 24 adults with severe hemophilia A. Researchers compared how long it stays in the body versus two existing drugs. Participants received one dose of their usual drug, then later one dose of the new drug, with blood samples taken over several days. The goal was to see if the new drug lasts longer, which could mean fewer injections for patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- efanesoctocog alfa (a longer-lasting clotting factor)
- What this could lead to
- If this drug lasts longer in the body, people with hemophilia A may need fewer infusions to prevent bleeding.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study in 24 people. It only measures drug levels, not actual bleeding prevention. The drug may not work better in real life.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participant must be male, 18 to 65 years of age, inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF). * Severe haemophilia A, defined as \<1 IU/dL (\<1%) endogenous FVIII activity, as documented in historical medical records from a clinical laboratory demonstrating \<1% FVIII coagulant activity or a documented genotype known to produce severe haemophilia A. * Previous treatment for haemophilia A with any marketed recombinant and/or plasma derived FVIII for at least 150 exposure days. * Currently receiving treatment with damoctocog alfa pegol or turoctocog alfa pegol at Screening. Exclusion Criteria: * Any history of a positive inhibitor test, defined as \>0.6 Bethesda units (BU)/mL in at least two consecutive Bethesda inhibitor assays, or any value greater than or equal to the lower sensitivity cut-off for laboratories with cut-offs for inhibitor detection between 0.7 and 1.0 BU/mL. Family history of inhibitors will not exclude the participant. * Positive FVIII inhibitor result (assessed by central laboratory), defined as ≥0.6 BU/mL at Screening.
