Catalyst Bio's marzeptacog alfa shows positive action in hemophilia study
Discussion: Catalyst Biosciences (CBIO) announced interim data from a Phase 2/3 clinical trial of evaluating subcutaneously administered prophylactic Factor VIIa variant marzeptacog alfa (activated) in patients with hemophilia A or B with inhibitors. One administered patient showed significant improvement in prevention of bleeding in the first 96 days. Two other patients are yet to complete the first 50 days of dosing to determine any significant improvement. Marzeptacog alfa's subcutaneous half life is 9.5 or almost three times the intravenous half life of 3.5.
