Data encompassed demographics, disease characteristics, treatment regimens, and outcomes using median progression-free-survival (mPFS). Eligibility required patients to be aged 21 and older and to have received at least one venetoclax cycle. Seventy-nine patients (median age 61, 58.2% female) were included, with 31.6% having t(11;14). Patients had received a median of 5 lines of therapy (LOT) before venetoclax.

In total, 32/205 (25.9%) PLwHA received on-demand treatment; 172 (83.9%) received prophylaxis—161 (93.6%) continuous prophylaxis. Documented bleed rates were available for 187 (91.2%) PLwHA, including those on prophylaxis and on-demand regimens, with 150 (80.2%) treated for > 12 months. Overall annualized bleeding rates and proportion of PLwHA with zero bleeds, receiving prophylaxis during the observation period, were mean (SD) 0.26 (1.03) and 138/157 (87.9%), respectively. No new or recurring inhibitors were reported.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>A low number of bleeds were observed with damoctocog alfa pegol in the real world in both male and female PLwHA. Data should be interpreted with caution owing to limitations of real-world studies and insubstantial data for female PLwHA.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":11955,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Haematology","volume":"114 3","pages":"448-457"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ejh.14337","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142667677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
