Episode Description

The hemophilia treatment landscape is evolving faster than ever. In this episode of Global Hemophilia Report, Patrick James Lynch and Dr. Donna DiMichele are joined by Drs. Hermans, Carpenter, and Hansen to break down the emerging class of rebalancing agents—therapies that don't replace clotting factor, but target new parts of the coagulation cascade.

We explore what these treatments mean for patients, clinics, and shared decision-making around the world. Key takeaways include the urgent need for real-world data, better patient education, and the potential for new therapies to protect joint health in ways never seen before.

Tune in to hear expert insights, practical considerations, and the future of hemophilia care.
