Haematology

Concentrates of plasma factors such as factor VIII and factor IX for the treatment of bleeding diseases have for many years been one of Biotest’s mainstays. Constant improvement and further clinical development of our licensed products plus expansion of the range of clotting factors are a special area of interest in haematology.

Biotest is engaged in the development of an innovative recombinant factor VIII preparation for the treatment of haemophilia A: 
Haemophilia A Therapeutic (HAT)
The compound is characterised by a significantly extended half-life with the option of intravenous or subcutaneous application. In addition, the molecule is designed to reduce the risk of inhibitor formation.  The project is in the preclinical phase.
