Chugai presents global phase III study results of emicizumab in paediatric patients with haemophilia A at 26th ISTH meeting

Results of HAVEN 1 study and the interim analysis of HAVEN 2 study (NCT02795767), a global phase III study of emicizumab in paediatric patients with haemophilia A with inhibitors, are presented  at the 26th International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) Meeting in Berlin.

“HAVEN 1 study is the first global phase III study for emicizumab. This important data provides the body of evidence for the upcoming new drug application,” said Chugai’s President & COO, Tatsuro Kosaka. “The interim analysis of HAVEN 2 study showed that emicizumab offers benefit for children as well. Chugai is committed to provide a new treatment option as soon as possible for the disease which may severely affect patients' life.”

Chugai is currently preparing to file the new drug application in Japan for emicizumab based on the data of HAVEN 1 study and the interim analysis of HAVEN 2 study. These data have been filed with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency by Roche. Emicizumab was designated as a Breakthrough Therapy by the FDA for the prophylactic treatment of people who are 12 years or older with haemophilia A with factor VIII inhibitor in September 2015.
