Genentech informed NHF of an unrelated postmarketing fatality that has occurred in an elderly patient who received treatment with emicizumab- kxwh (Hemlibra) for acquired hemophilia A. The cause of death was assessed by the treating physician to be sudden cardiac death, unrelated to emicizumab-kxwh. This event occurred outside of the US.

Recently Genentech launched a web portal for healthcare providers. This portal provides up to date safety information on Hemlibra.

Genentech has shared that a similar web portal for patients is currently being developed and is forthcoming. NHF will continue to provide updated information as it becomes available.
