Treatment Regimen and Hemophilia Severity

The majority of male Registry participants with mild or moderate hemophilia A are on an episodic (on-demand) treatment regimen, in which they receive treatment only in response to a bleeding episode (91% and 62%, respectively). Among participants with mild or moderate hemophilia A, continuous prophylaxis is the second most common treatment regimen (4% and 32%, respectively). In contrast, among participants with severe hemophilia A, continuous prophylaxis is the most common treatment regimen, with 77% of participants using this method, followed by episodic or event-based treatment (17%). Among participants with mild, moderate, or severe hemophilia A, event-based, intermittent or short-term prohylaxis, was used by 5%, 6%, and 4%, respectively (Figure 28).

The majority of participants with mild or moderate hemophilia B are on an episodic treatment regimen (91% and 80%, respectively). Continuous prophylaxis is the second most common treatment regimen among participants with mild or moderate hemophilia B (5% and 16%, respectively). Among the male participants with severe hemophilia B, continuous prophylaxis is the most common treatment regimen, followed by episodic or event-based treatment (69% and 25%, respectively). Among participants with hemophilia B, approximately 4% of mild and moderate and 5% of severe used event-based prophylaxis, intermittent or short-term prophylaxis (Figure 29).

Treatment Products and Age

Recombinant clotting factor concentrates were the most commonly used medication, regardless of age group; also common among the younger age groups were non-plasma products.
