Decrease in average number of treated bleeds per year (ABR, annualized bleed rate) in a study of adults and young adults

Adults: 18 years or older | Young adults (adolescents): 12 years to less than 18 years

Without factor VIII inhibitors: HAVEN 3 study

People who switched from taking factor VIII to prevent bleeds (prophylaxis) to HEMLIBRA had 68% fewer bleeds that needed treatment.

Median observation period: 34 weeks (HEMLIBRA prophylaxis) and 30 weeks (previous factor VIII prophylaxis).

With factor VIII inhibitors: HAVEN 1 study

People who switched from taking bypassing therapy to prevent bleeds (prophylaxis) to HEMLIBRA had 79% fewer bleeds that needed treatment.

Median observation period: 30 weeks (HEMLIBRA prophylaxis) and 32 weeks (previous bypassing therapy prophylaxis).

Make a choice for your joint health

People taking HEMLIBRA for at least 24 weeks (HAVEN 3) saw a 95% reduction in target joint bleeds that needed treatment.

A POST HOC, DESCRIPTIVE STUDY OF TARGET JOINT HEALTH IN PEOPLE TAKING HEMLIBRA LONG-TERM: HAVEN 3

HEMLIBRA ONCE A WEEK

OF TARGET JOINTS WERE RESOLVED IN PATIENTS TAKING HEMLIBRA

These data are from 97 people who reported a combined total of 238 target joints before starting HEMLIBRA and were then on HEMLIBRA for a median of 262 weeks

What is a target joint?

Target joints were defined as major joints (eg, hip, elbow, wrist, shoulder, knee, and ankle) in which ≥3 bleeds occurred over a 24-week period.

What is a resolved target joint?

A target joint is resolved if it had 2 or fewer bleeds during 52 weeks of HEMLIBRA treatment.

What is a post hoc, descriptive study?

A post hoc analysis is an analysis of clinical trial data that was not planned before data collection was started and it is not designed to prove cause and effect. In a descriptive study, researchers are simply looking at what happened in a clinical trial, without determining a definitive benefit. Therefore, conclusions should not be drawn based on this information.

“One thing I’ve learned through this experience on HEMLIBRA was how much time I used to spend thinking about my joints and paying attention to them. It has allowed me to spend less time treating bleeds and more time doing the things I enjoy.”

—Matt, takes HEMLIBRA for hemophilia A without inhibitors, Washington

Individual results may vary. Not all patients in the clinical trials had zero bleeds. See results for clinical trial patients with or without factor VIII inhibitors at the top of this page.

When starting HEMLIBRA, a “loading dose” is taken once weekly for 4 weeks. After that, HEMLIBRA offers 3 regular dosing options: once weekly, once every 2 weeks, or once every 4 weeks. Talk to your doctor about dosing.

Important Safety Information & Indication

What is HEMLIBRA?

HEMLIBRA is a prescription medicine used for routine prophylaxis to prevent or reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes in adults and children, ages newborn and older, with hemophilia A with or without factor VIII inhibitors.

What is the most important information I should know about HEMLIBRA?

HEMLIBRA increases the potential for your blood to clot. People who use activated prothrombin complex concentrate (aPCC; Feiba®) to treat breakthrough bleeds while taking HEMLIBRA may be at risk of serious side effects related to blood clots.

These serious side effects include: 

  • Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), a condition involving blood clots and injury to small blood  vessels that may cause harm to your kidneys, brain, and other organs 
  • Blood clots (thrombotic events), which may form in blood vessels in your arm, leg, lung, or head  

Talk to your doctor about the signs and symptoms of these serious side effects, which can include: 

  • Confusion
  • Stomach, chest, or back pain
  • Weakness
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Swelling, pain, or redness
  • Feeling sick or faint
  • Decreased urination
  • Swelling of arms and legs
  • Yellowing of skin and eyes
  • Eye pain, swelling, or trouble seeing
  • Fast heart rate
  • Numbness in your face
  • Headache
  • Shortness of breath
  • Coughing up blood

If you experience any of these symptoms during or after treatment with HEMLIBRA, get medical help right away. 

Carefully follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding when to use an on-demand bypassing agent or factor VIII, and the dose and schedule to use for breakthrough bleed treatment. If aPCC (Feiba®) is needed, talk to your healthcare provider in case you feel you need more than 100 U/kg of aPCC (Feiba®) total. 

Your body may make antibodies against HEMLIBRA, which may stop HEMLIBRA from working properly. Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you notice that HEMLIBRA has stopped working for you (eg, increase in bleeds).

The most common side effects of HEMLIBRA include: injection site reactions (redness, tenderness, warmth, or itching at the site of injection), headache, and joint pain. These are not all of the possible side effects of HEMLIBRA. You can speak with your healthcare provider for more information.

What else should I know about HEMLIBRA?

See the detailed “Instructions for Use” that comes with your HEMLIBRA for information on how to prepare and inject a dose of HEMLIBRA, and how to properly throw away (dispose of) used needles and syringes.

  • Stop taking your prophylactic bypassing therapy the day before you start HEMLIBRA
  • You may continue taking your prophylactic factor VIII for the first week of HEMLIBRA

HEMLIBRA may interfere with laboratory tests that measure how well your blood is clotting and create an inaccurate result. Speak with your healthcare provider about how this may affect your care. 

Medicines are sometimes prescribed for purposes other than those listed in a Medication Guide. Only use HEMLIBRA for the condition it was prescribed. Do not give HEMLIBRA to other people, even if they have the same symptoms that you have. It may harm them.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, or herbal supplements. Keep a list of them to show your healthcare provider and pharmacist.

Before using HEMLIBRA, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, are breastfeeding, or plan to breastfeed.

Since HEMLIBRA was tested in males, there is no information on whether HEMLIBRA may impact your unborn baby or breast milk. Females who are able to become pregnant should use birth control during treatment.

Side effects may be reported to the FDA at (800) FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. You may also report side effects to Genentech at (888) 835-2555.
