About This Initiative
As gene therapy emerges as a potential new treatment approach for hemophilia, the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) is proud to introduce Gene Therapy in Hemophilia: An ISTH Education Initiative.
In early 2019, ISTH organized a group of world-renowned experts from the global hemophilia community to develop a survey to identify unmet educational needs specific to gene therapy in hemophilia. The survey was distributed online to an international audience. The results demonstrated that many need more education on the fundamentals of gene therapy and a better understanding of gene therapy as a treatment approach for hemophilia A and B.
ISTH and the global hemophilia experts have developed educational resources to address these needs providing you a front seat to learn about gene therapy in hemophilia. Improve your understanding of the fundamentals and stay abreast of the latest clinical advances as it relates to gene therapy in hemophilia. Learn from leading global experts on this dynamic educational platform.
