New Delhi: A USFDA-approved treatment that may prevent haemophilia, a rare bleeding disorder, has been launched in India for the first time, global biopharmaceutical company Takeda Pharmaceutical said on Monday.
A genetic condition that prevents blood from clotting, haemophilia causes bleeding for a long time after injury or surgery and painful swelling of the joints either after injury or even without injury.
In India, more than 1,36,000 people have been diagnosed with the disorder that causes lifelong bleeding, and has so far no known cure.
The prophylaxis treatment is named Adynovate and is an innovative extended half-life recombinant Factor VIII (rFVIII) treatment, using established technology (controlled PEGylation), for haemophilia A patients.
Adynovate, in combination with MYPKFIT, is an FDA approved application that offers personalised and interactive prophylaxis treatment option that enables both healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patients in real-time monitoring, the company said in a statement.
