Abstract

In this issue of the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, Peyvandi et al present further insights from the Survey of Inhibitors in Plasma-Product Exposed Toddlers (SIPPET) study regarding the relative immunogenicity of recombinant- (rFVIII) versus plasma-derived FVIII (pdFVIII) in patients with haemophilia A [1]. In a post-hoc analysis of this prospective randomised controlled trial, the timing and severity of inhibitor development for previously untreated patients (PUPs) treated with rFVIII was compared with that in PUPs treated with pdFVIII. In keeping with previous studies, the period of greatest risk for inhibitor development in PUPs was observed within the first 15 exposure days (EDs). This article is protected by copyright.
