The 24-month long A-SURE study expects to enrol 350 patients in around ten European countries.

Swedish Orphan Biovitrum medical and clinical sciences vice-president Stefan Lethagen said: “Elocta is the first extended half-life FVIII product approved by the European Commission and, as such, represents a meaningful step in the treatment of haemophilia.

"The 24-month long A-SURE study expects to enrol 350 patients in around ten European countries."

“Pharmacokinetic data from the phase lll trials indicate that Elocta can achieve higher FVIII levels in plasma over a longer period of time compared to the conventional haemophilia products given at the same dose.

“The clinical data shows that effective bleed prevention can be achieved with Elocta with extended dosing intervals. A-SURE is an important study that aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Elocta in a real world-setting.”
