Drug Overview
Hemlibra is an anti-factor IXa/X bispecific antibody, developed by Roche as a new treatment option for hemophilia A patients. Hemlibra binds to both factor IXa and factor X, placing both proteins in the correct spatial positions and promoting activation of factor X. By doing so, the drug mimics the normal function of factor VIII and demonstrates hemostatic activity in hemophilia A patients with and without inhibitors.
Roche secured its first approval for Hemlibra as a treatment option for hemophilia A patients with inhibitors in November 2017 in the US. The drug is also undergoing regulatory review outside of the US, and is separately being developed for hemophilia A patients without inhibitors.
