On July 25, Novo Nordisk announced that the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use/CHMP adopted a positive opinion, recommending an expansion of the Alhemo (concizumab) label.

This recommendation includes the treatment of severe haemophilia A and moderate or severe haemophilia B in patients without inhibitors. If approved by the European Commission/EC, Alhemo, which is administered via a pen-injector device, will become available to all adult and paediatric patients aged 12 years and older living with these conditions.

The positive CHMP opinion is based on results from the Phase 3 explorer8 trial. This study met its primary endpoint and showed that Alhemo prophylaxis reduced spontaneous and traumatic bleeds for patients with haemophilia A and B without inhibitors compared to no prophylaxis. Specifically, Alhemo prophylaxis led to an 86% reduction in treated spontaneous and traumatic bleeds for haemophilia A patients without inhibitors, and a 79% reduction for haemophilia B patients without inhibitors.
