EC approves added indication for Pfizer’s Hympavzi

The European Commission (EC) has granted marketing authorization to expand the approved indication for Pfizer’s (NYSE: PFE) Hympavzi (marstacimab) to include patients 12 years of age and older weighing at least 35 kg with hemophilia A (congenital factor VIII [FVIII] deficiency) with FVIII inhibitors or hemophilia B (congenital factor IX [FIX] deficiency) with FIX inhibitors.

Hympavzi offers a combination of superior bleed protection compared to on-demand (OD) treatment that is well-tolerated with a straightforward, once-weekly subcutaneous injection administration that does not require routine treatment-related lab monitoring for this difficult-to-treat inhibitor patient population 12 years of age and older.
