During this symposium, we will discuss the importance of healthy living in people with hemophilia, including weight management. We will explain how small changes, such as managing portion sizes and engaging in the right physical activities, can improve the overall health of people with hemophilia. Information on a new treatment option for hemophilia A will also be presented.

With the expected approval of the first gene therapy for hemophilia in the next few months, it is important that clinicians are prepared for implementation in their respective hemophilia treatment centers (HTCs). During this 90-minute session, Drs. Steven Pipe and Guy Young will provide an overview of gene therapy for treatment of hemophilia along with an update on clinical trials in hemophilia A and B. They will also discuss what success looks like and how HTCs should be preparing for the advent of gene therapy. The presentation will conclude with a live question and answer session between attendees and Drs. Pipe and Young.
