Phase 3 BASIS trial – efficacy and safety of marstacimab in severe haemophilia A or B without inhibitors: Davide Matino, ASH 2023
The Phase 3 BASIS trial assessed the efficacy and safety of marstacimab, a monoclonal antibody targeting the tissue factor pathway inhibitor, in participants with severe haemophilia A or moderately severe to severe haemophilia B without inhibitors. The study demonstrated marstacimab’s effectiveness in reducing bleeding events compared to previous therapies, along with its safety profile over 12 months and in a 16-month long-term extension study. In this interview, Dr Davide Matino (McMaster University, ON, Canada) discusses the results from the phase 3 BASIS trial (NCT03938792) and the next steps following these results.
The abstract entitled ‘Efficacy and Safety of the Anti-Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor Marstacimab in Participants with Severe Hemophilia without Inhibitors: Results from the Phase 3 BASIS Trial’ was presented at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition December 9-12, 2023, in San Diego, CA, USA.
