Congrats to Trent Spencer, PhD, who led the first-in-human clinical study on a new gene therapy for severe hemophilia A with Alok Srivastava, MD. Published in @NEJM, results showed stable factor VIII expression in patients. Learn more: nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE….

Five patients with hemophilia A had dramatic reductions in bleeding episodes after undergoing autologous HSCT with lentiviral vector–transduced cells encoding a CD68-targeted factor VIII transgene. Full trial results: nej.md/3Vk5xUA #ASH24

Stable FVIII levels after lentiviral gene therapy in hemophilia A. Results of small phase 1 study from Vellore in India will be presented at #ASH2024. Yes it is small numbers with short follow up, but it shows that stable FVIII levels of >15% can be achieved. This is the first gene therapy that can be used in children with #hemophilia. However, it requires an autologous bone marrow transplant, the lentiviral delivered genes integrate and we are at a time of safe alternative therapies.

Period of severe cytopenias were short. FVIII levels kept between 50-100% with EHL-FVIII until engraftment.

High FVIII levels after ex vivo #genetherapy for #hemophilia A. Does require bone marrow conditioning, but no immunosuppressive after discharge. 🧵1/2

Continuing this morning’s great session at #ISTH2021 on Structural Determinants of Function, Clint Spiegel (@SpiegelClint) just gave a beautifully clear and engaging talk on “Factor VIII Structure: Determinants of Inhibitor Development.”
