The Canadian Hemophilia Society's December 4, 2024 webinar on hemophilia gene therapy featured the latest research and access updates. Dr. Roy Khalifé described how AAV vector gene therapy works in hemophilia A and B. He reported the latest clinical trial results for of Roctavian (hemophilia A) and Hemgenix and Beqvez (hemophilia B), noting annualized bleeding rates and levels of factor VIII and IX expression. Safety concerns included liver enzyme elevations and the need for short-term corticosteroids. David Page addressed regulatory hurdles, noting Health Canada's approvals of Hemgenix and Beqvez, CDA's positive reimbursement recommendations, but INESSS' negative reimbursement recommendations for Quebec. The discussion emphasized the need for long-term monitoring and equitable access across Canada.

The first generation of gene therapy for hemophilia, called gene insertion or gene addition, is now a reality, but it is not for everyone. Dr. Glenn Pierce explores other approaches to gene therapy in the research pipeline that in the future may be more efficacious for a longer time for more people. Glenn is a long-time researcher in coagulation products for hemophilia and is currently the Medical Vice President of the World Federation of Hemophilia.

In this podcast, Dr. Jerry Teitel explores how gene therapy for hemophilia A and hemophilia B might be delivered to patients across Canada in an equitable way, even though the administration will occur in only some sites. He describes the follow-up that is required in the critical months following administration to get the best results possible. Dr. Teitel is a Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto, and Medical Director of the Hemophilia Treatment Program at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, Ontario.
