Abstract
Recently new opportunities are emerging for improving the way patients with Haemophilia A are treated. Among these opportunities, efmoroctocog alfa is a first-in-class recombinant factor VIII-Fc fusion protein (rFVIIIFc) produced by recombinant DNA technology with an extended half-life compared with conventional FVIII preparations. The available evidence coming from an Italian HTA report indicates that efmoroctocog alfa provides an effective alternative to conventional FVIII preparations (including standard rFVIIIs) for the management of Haemophilia A. Moreover, by reducing the frequency of injections required, it has the potential to reduce treatment burden, and hence improve adherence to prophylaxis and patient Quality-of-Life.
期刊介绍:
Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Public Health (EBPH) is a multidisciplinary journal that has two broad aims: -To support the international public health community with publications on health service research, health care management, health policy, and health economics. -To strengthen the evidences on effective preventive interventions. -To advance public health methods, including biostatistics and epidemiology. EBPH welcomes submissions on all public health issues (including topics like eHealth, big data, personalized prevention, epidemiology and risk factors of chronic and infectious diseases); on basic and applied research in epidemiology; and in biostatistics methodology. Primary studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses are all welcome, as are research protocols for observational and experimental studies. EBPH aims to be a cross-discipline, international forum for scientific integration and evidence-based policymaking, combining the methodological aspects of epidemiology, biostatistics, and public health research with their practical applications.
