One-Shot gene therapy could free hemophilia b patients from frequent injections
NCT ID NCT05203679
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This clinical trial is testing a one-time gene therapy called BBM-H901 for people with hemophilia B, a bleeding disorder caused by low levels of clotting factor IX. The therapy uses a harmless virus to deliver a working copy of the factor IX gene to the liver, so the body can produce its own clotting factor. The study involves 32 adult men with severe hemophilia B and will monitor safety, liver function, and how well the treatment reduces bleeding episodes over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BBM-H901 (a gene therapy using a harmless virus to deliver a working copy of the factor IX gene to the liver)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could give people with hemophilia B a lasting increase in clotting factor, reducing or eliminating the need for regular injections.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-to-mid stage trial with only 32 participants. The gene therapy may not work for everyone, and there are risks like liver inflammation or an immune reaction that could reduce its effect.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria of Phase 1/2/3: 1. Males ≥ 18 years of age; 2. Have hemophilia B with ≤2 IU/dL (≤2 %) endogenous FIX activity levels; 3. Have had ≥100 prior exposure days (EDs) to any recombinant and/or plasma-derived FIX protein products based on historical data from the subjects' records/histories; 4. Have had bleeding events and/or injected with FIX protein products (including recombination and plasma source) during the last 12 weeks documented in the subjects' medical records; 5. Have no prior history of hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis associated with any FIX or IV immunoglobulin administration; 6. Agree to use a reliable barrier contraception method from the beginning of signing the informed consent to 52 weeks after administration. 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, i.e. subjects with natural clearance and anti-viral therapy clearance for hepatitis B or C are eligible; 2. 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; 3. HIV positive patients; 4. Have participated in a previous gene therapy research trial before screening, or in a clinical study with an investigational drug within 5 half-life of the investigational product, whichever is longer; 5. Have alcohol or drug dependence, or cannot stop drinking throughout the study; 6. Any concurrent clinically significant major disease or condition that the investigator deems unsuitable for participation in the study.
