Gene Therapy Boosts Clotting in Hemophilia B Patients
Researchers from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Stanford report a small gene replacement trial improving Factor IX production in hemophilia B. Injections delivering a healthy gene via a harmless virus led to measurable clotting increases in two of three patients within 12 weeks, reducing reliance on clotting medication by 50 to 80 percent. The study, published in Nature Genetics, signals cautious optimism amid broader gene therapy safety concerns and ongoing trials.
