Background:  rVIII-SingleChain is a recombinant factor VIII (FVIII) with increased binding affinity to von Willebrand factor compared with other FVIII products. rVIII-SingleChain is indicated for the treatment and prevention of bleeding episodes in patients with hemophilia A.

Objectives:  To collect real-world evidence data from patients treated with rVIII-SingleChain to confirm the efficacy and safety established in the clinical trial program and carry out a population pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis.

Background: Patients with symptomatic von Willebrand disease (VWD) should be offered long-term prophylaxis (LTP) to prevent recurrent bleedings. Our objective was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Voncento®, a plasma-derived FVIII/VWF concentrate (ratio 1:2.4), administrated in LTP.

Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is characterized by abnormal villous lymphoid cells that express CD103, CD123, CD25 and CD11c. HCL-like disorders, including hairy cell leukemia variant (vHCL) and splenic diffuse red pulp lymphoma (SDRPL), have similar morphologic criteria and a distinct phenotypic and genetic profile. We investigated the immunophenotypic features of a large cohort of 82 patients: 68 classical HCL, 5 vHCL/SDRPL and 9 HCL-like NOS.

Detection of high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HPR) by point-of-care tests has not been validated after successful fibrinolysis for ST-elevation myocardial infarction. We assessed the validity of the point-of-care VerifyNow P2Y12 (VN) and INNOVANCE PFA P2Y (PFA) tests on HPR compared to light transmittance aggregometry (LTA) in these patients. The HPR was identified in 10 (34.

Article Synopsis
  • The treatment of acquired hemophilia (AH) is being studied to determine whether corticosteroids should be used alone or with immunosuppressants, especially considering the risk of infection in vulnerable populations like the elderly.
  • A study involving 24 patients showed that those with factor VIII levels ≥1 IU/dL experienced a significantly shorter time to achieve partial remission compared to those with lower levels.
  • Results indicate that patients with factor VIII levels ≥1 IU/dL and inhibitor titers ≤20 BU/mL could effectively be treated with corticosteroids alone, leading to quicker therapeutic responses.
