Background • Emicizumab is a bispecific, humanised monoclonal antibody that restores the function of missing activated FVIII in PwHA1–3 • Evidence from four phase 3 studies, HAVEN 1–4,4–7 has supported the approval of emicizumab prophylaxis to treat PwHA with or without FVIII inhibitors across all age groups • The STASEY study was designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of emicizumab in PwHA with FVIII inhibitors over a 2-year treatment period8 Aim • To provide safety and efficacy results from an interim analysis of theSTASEY study F, factor; PwHA, persons with haemophilia A 1.
