One-Time gene therapy could free hemophilia patients from frequent infusions
NCT ID NCT06111638
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy called BBM-H803 for adults with severe hemophilia A. The treatment uses a harmless virus to deliver a working gene to the liver, so the body can produce its own clotting factor VIII. The study involves 55 participants and will check safety, liver function, and how well it reduces bleeding episodes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BBM-H803 (a gene therapy using a harmless virus to deliver a working factor VIII gene to the liver)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could allow people with severe hemophilia A to produce their own clotting factor, reducing or stopping the need for regular factor infusions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-to-mid stage trial with only 55 participants. Gene therapy may not work for everyone, and there are risks like liver inflammation or an immune reaction to the virus.

Inclusion Criteria of Phase 1/2/3: 1. Subjects voluntarily sign informed consent form; 2. Males ≥ 18 years; 3. Subjects are clinically diagnosed with severe hemophilia A; 4. Have \> = 150 documented exposure days to a Factor VIII protein product 5. No prior history of hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis associated with any FVIII immunoglobulin; 6. Use a reliable contraception method during the study; 7. Capsid antibody negative; 8. Subjects have good compliance. Exclusion Criteria of Phase 1/2/3: 1. Being positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis B virus-DNA (HBV-DNA). Being positive for hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV-Ab) or hepatitis C virus RNA (HCV-RNA). Subjects with medical history of hepatitis B or C can be regarded as negative only when 2 required samplings are conducted at least 3 months apart and both test results of indicators aforementioned are negative, HIV positive patients or Syphilis seropositive patients; 2. Currently on antiviral therapy for hepatitis B or C; 3. Suffer from coagulation disorders other than hemophilia A; 4. In addition to glucocorticoids, any other immunosuppressants are being used before selection; 5. Have vaccination history within 2 months before administration, or vaccination schedule during immunomodulatory therapy; 6. Have potential liver diseases, such as previous diagnosis of portal hypertension, splenomegaly, hepatic encephalopathy or liver fibrosis (fibrosis stage ≥ 3); nodules or cysts were found by B ultrasound, or elevated alpha-fetoprotein was detected by laboratory tests. Subjects who are not eligible for the study if the abnormalities are clinically significant regarding to the medical judgement of the investigator; 7. Scheduling of elective major surgery known or planned during the insertion period or the 52-week study period following BBM-H803 infusion; 8. Have participated in a previous gene therapy research trial before screening or have used other test drugs within 4 weeks before screening, or within 5 half-life of the test drug, whichever is longer; Have received emesezumab within 6 months before screening; Or drugs evaluated by the researcher to affect the study; 9. Any herbal preparations (herbal supplements or traditional Chinese medicines of plant, mineral or animal origin) used during the 4 weeks prior to or during the study that may affect liver function, except topical use; Or any Chinese herbal medicine that the researcher evaluates to affect the study; 10. Have alcohol or drug addiction, or cannot stop drinking as advised by the researcher throughout the study; 11. Have acute/chronic infections or other chronic diseases that may pose a risk for the study, or have a major illness, who have a current or previous history of malignant tumors, or who have other unstable medical conditions, including poor mental state and risk of suicide, that the investigator deems unsuitable for participation in the study; 12. Any other conditions that the investigator deems unsuitable for participation in the study.
