A Once-a-Week shot could transform hemophilia Care—Even for those with inhibitors
NCT ID NCT03938792
First seen Aug 14, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026
Summary
This trial is testing an investigational drug called PF-06741086, given as a once-weekly injection under the skin, to see if it can reduce the number of bleeding episodes in people with severe hemophilia A or moderately severe to severe hemophilia B. The study includes both people who have inhibitors (antibodies that block standard factor replacement therapy) and those who do not. The goal is to compare this new approach to standard treatment and see if it offers better bleeding control, more convenience, and fewer bleeds.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PF-06741086, an investigational drug given as a weekly injection under the skin
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a more convenient and effective way to prevent bleeding episodes in people with hemophilia, including those who have developed inhibitors to standard treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase 3 trial, but it's still experimental. It may not work for everyone, and there are risks of side effects like injection site reactions, allergic reactions, or blood clotting issues.

Inclusion Criteria * Participants with a diagnosis of severe hemophilia A or moderately severe to severe hemophilia B with a minimum weight of 35 kg at screening. * Participant or legally authorized representative, or participant's caregiver capable of giving signed informed consent (or minor assent, when applicable). Participants who are enrolled into the Non-Inhibitor Cohort must also meet the following criteria: * No detectable or documented history of inhibitors * Participants on FVIII/FIX routine prophylaxis who have demonstrated at least 80% compliance with scheduled prophylaxis regimen during 6 months prior to enrollment and are willing to continue to receive routine prophylaxis treatment with FVIII/FIX replacement during the Observational Phase. * Participants with on-demand treatment regimen with ≥6 acute bleeding episodes (spontaneous or traumatic) that required coagulation factor infusion during the 6 months period prior to enrollment and willing to continue to receive on demand treatment during the Observational Phase. Participants who are enrolled into the Inhibitor Cohort must also meet the following criteria: * Documentation of current high titer inhibitor (≥5 BU/mL) or current low titer inhibitor (\<5 BU/mL) refractory to FVIII or FIX replacement and with FVIII or FIX recovery \<60% of expected within previous 6 months prior to enrolment into the Observational Phase * Hemophilia A participants with on-demand treatment regimen with ≥6 bleeding episodes or hemophilia B participants with ≥4 bleeding episodes (spontaneous or traumatic) necessitating treatment with bypass factor during the 6 months prior to Enrollment into Observational Phase and willing to continue to receive on-demand treatment during the Observational Phase. * Participants who have documented inhibitors while on factor-replacement therapy but who do not meet the quantitative inhibitor criteria described in the prior bullet at the time of Screening (eg, participant with a previously documented high-titer inhibitor (≥5 BU/mL) and whose condition precludes re-challenge with FVIII or FIX replacement) may be considered for eligibility on a case-by-case basis with prior agreement from the Pfizer Medical Monitor * Participants who meet the bleeding criteria noted above and who are on routine prophylaxis (defined as treatment by IV injection of bypass factor to prevent bleeding) and have demonstrated at least 80% compliance with scheduled prophylaxis regimen during the 6 months prior to enrollment, may be considered for eligibility on a case-by-case basis with discussion and agreement from the Pfizer medical monitor. Exclusion Criteria * Previous or current treatment for and/or history of coronary artery diseases, venous or arterial thrombosis or ischemic disease * Known planned surgical procedure during the planned study period. * Known hemostatic defect other than hemophilia A or B. * Abnormal renal or hepatic function * Current unstable liver or biliary disease * Abnormal hematologic parameters * Other acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, * Current routine prophylaxis with bypassing agent or non-coagulation non-factor- replacement therapy, or any previous treatment with a gene therapy product for treatment of hemophilia (participants treated with prophylaxis using bypassing agents or who had prior treatment with non-factor products may be considered on a case-by-case basis). * Regular, concomitant therapy with immunomodulatory drugs \- Ongoing or planned use of immune tolerance induction during the Observational Phase or Active Treatment Phase, or prophylaxis with FVIII or FIX replacement at any time after initiation of treatment with study intervention during the Active Treatment Phase * Previous exposure to PF 06741086 during participation in studies B7841002 and B7841003. * Participation in other studies involving investigational drug(s) or investigational vaccines within 30 days (or as determined by local requirements) or 5 half-lives prior to study entry and/or during study participation. * CD4 cell count ≤200/uL if human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive * Screening ECG that demonstrates clinically relevant abnormalities that may affect participant safety or interpretation of study results. * Individuals with hypersensitivity or an allergic reaction to hamster protein or other components of the study intervention. * Investigator site staff members directly involved in the conduct of the study and their family members, site staff members otherwise supervised by the investigator, or participants who are Pfizer employees, including their family members, directly involved in the conduct of the study.
