The preferred treatment for hemophilia is factor replacement therapy. Hemophilia is treated by injecting the missing factor protein into the affected personâs vein. The injection makes the factor immediately available in the bloodstream and the body is able to activate it to continue the clotting cascade and stop the bleeding. Products.
Researchers are working on a method to insert better functioning factor VIII or factor IX genes into the cells of people with hemophilia so their blood will clot more effectively.It is hoped that gene therapy will lead to patients having fewer bleeding episodes.here are many projects continuing in animal models. Improved long-term expression of the new genes will require the development of better vectors (the means of delivering the new genes into the cells).
