WHAT HEMGENIX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT HEMGENIX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Hemgenix is a gene therapy product that contains the active substance
etranacogene dezaparvovec. A
gene therapy product works by delivering a gene into the body to
correct a genetic defect.
Hemgenix is used for the treatment of severe and moderately severe
Haemophilia B (congenital
Factor IX deficiency) in adults who do not have current or past
inhibitors (neutralising antibodies)
against the Factor IX protein.
People with Haemophilia B are born with an altered form of a gene
needed to make Factor IX, an
essential protein required for blood to clot and stop any bleeding.
People with Haemophilia B have
insufficient levels of Factor IX and are prone to internal or external
bleeding episodes.
HOW HEMGENIX WORKS
The active substance in Hemgenix is based on a virus that does not
cause disease in humans. This virus
has been modified so tha
