Program Overview
Gene therapy (GT) is becoming an increasingly important therapeutic option for patients with hemophilia, with the potential to transform lives. Gene therapy is inherently different from conventional treatments in that it offers potential life-long cures by correcting for the missing or mutated genes that underlie genetic diseases, such as hemophilia. This activity will discuss the implications of gene therapy in the management of patients as well as current clinical trial data on gene therapy in hemophilia. Our goal is to provide you with the most up-to-date information to allow you to improve your confidence and competence in your ability to implement gene therapy with an integrated care delivery model in your treatment center.
This program will conclude with a live question and answer session. Don’t miss the opportunity to ask your questions or share your clinical challenges directly with the experts.

This activity is designed for multidisciplinary healthcare providers in the community setting, including hepatologists, hematologists, nurses, pharmacists and other allied healthcare professionals who provide care to patients with hemophilia A and B.
Learning Objectives Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:
Review gene and cell therapy and genome editing, including the fundamentals of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated, liver-directed gene transfer
Describe current and emerging gene therapies for the treatment of hemophilia A and B, including data on the impact of preexisting AAV immunity against vectors used in hemophilia gene therapy strategies, as well as the development of new strategies for the treatment of patients with preexisting neutralizing antibodies (NAbs)
Discuss strategies for providing sufficient information about screening, delivering, and monitoring gene therapy and its sequelae, as well as providing guidance for making informed decisions regarding gene therapy
Outline the hub and spoke model approach to gene therapy administration, including key roles and responsibilities for clinicians and practical approaches to implementation
