We have successfully treated the first patient with #hemophilia B in Austria at the beginning of April - truly a "game changer" for people with hemophilia. Grateful to live in a country where innovative treatments like this are accessible, offering new hope for the future.
⭕️ New type of #genetherapy to treat the severe form of #haemophilia B ⤵️

The treatment for the hereditary #bloodclotting disorder needs to be administered once as an intravenous infusion & is effective for years. ⬇️
