Weekly shot could help kids with hemophilia b avoid bleeding
NCT ID NCT01467427
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a new long-acting factor IX drug (nonacog beta pegol) in 25 children with hemophilia B. The drug is given as a weekly injection to prevent bleeding episodes. The main goal was to check safety and whether the body develops antibodies that block the treatment. Results showed it was generally safe and effective at reducing bleeds.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- nonacog beta pegol (a long-acting factor IX replacement given as a weekly injection)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a more convenient once-weekly treatment to prevent bleeding episodes in children with hemophilia B.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small Phase 3 trial (25 children) and results may not apply to all patients. Some children may still develop inhibitors that block the treatment's effect.
