Cambridge - Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (TSE: 4502/NYSE: TAK) ('Takeda'), today presented four abstracts at the Thrombosis and Hemostasis Summit of North America (THSNA), highlighting Takeda's commitment to advancing personalized care in people living with bleeding disorders.
These studies may help provide further data to healthcare providers regarding treatment personalization in patients with hemophilia and von Willebrand's disease (VWD).
'When living with a bleeding disorder that is complex, rare and lifelong, it is critically important to strive for personalized care, to help patients find an appropriate therapy option for them.' states Dr. Jonathan C. Roberts, MD, Associate Medical Director, Associate Research Director at the Bleeding & Clotting Disorders Institute, and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria, Peoria, Ill. 'The opportunity for therapeutic individualization with factor products provides hope that bleeding disorder patients can live life with treatment plans that help to address their clinical needs.'
About Hemophilia
Hemophilia is a challenging chronic disease that causes longer-than-normal bleeding due to absent or deficient clotting factor in the blood.5, 10, 11 Hemophilia A is more common than hemophilia B; hemophilia A affects about 158,225 people, whereas hemophilia B affects about 31,247 people worldwide.6 People with hemophilia, working closely with their healthcare professionals, can live healthy lives with proper care and adequate treatment. Treatment regimens typically include on-demand and/or regular prophylactic infusions of factor replacement therapy to control or prevent the risk of bleeding.5,6
About von Willebrand disease (VWD)
VWD is the most common inherited bleeding disorder, affecting up to one percent of the U.S. population. VWD is caused by a deficiency or dysfunction of von Willebrand factor (VWF), one of several types of proteins in the blood that are needed to facilitate proper blood clotting.7 Due to this defect or deficiency in VWF, blood is not able to clot effectively in people with VWD, which may result in heavy menstrual periods, easy bruising or frequent nose bleeds. Bleeding caused by VWD varies greatly among patients with this disease.8, 11
