Clinical trials for haemophilia gene therapy have been going on since the early 1990s. With
the EMA recently granting conditional marketing approval (CMA) of the gene therapy for haemophilia A, and now B, it may soon become a treatment option for some people with severe haemophilia.
Haemnet’s Exigency study has been exploring the knowledge, expectations and experiences of gene therapy among people in the UK haemophilia community. As well as speaking with people who have had haemophilia gene therapy as part of a clinical trial, the research team spoke with people who were unable to have gene therapy in a trial, people who don’t want to have gene therapy, family members, parents of children with haemophilia and health care professionals. Some of the study findings are presented in this short animation.
