The FDA approved marstacimab-hncq (HYMPAVZI) for routine prophylaxis in hemophilia A and B patients aged 6 years and older.
HYMPAVZI is the first subcutaneous non-factor therapy for pediatric patients aged 6 to 11 years with hemophilia B.
In the phase 3 BASIS trial, marstacimab reduced the mean annualized bleeding rate by 93% compared to on-demand intravenous treatment.
Marstacimab targets the Kunitz 2 domain of tissue factor pathway inhibitor to restore balance between bleeding and coagulation.
Common adverse reactions include injection-site reactions, headache, and pyrexia, with warnings for thromboembolic events and hypersensitivity.

Three months of ticagrelor-based dual antiplatelet therapy was noninferior to 12 months for saphenous vein graft occlusion after CABG.
The shorter DAPT duration significantly reduced clinically relevant bleeding compared to the longer duration in selected CABG patients.
The trial included 2,300 patients, with a mean age of 61.5 years, and assessed outcomes at 1 year post-surgery.
Major adverse cardiovascular events were similar between the 3-month and 12-month DAPT groups, but the trial was not powered for these differences.
Findings may not apply to all antiplatelet regimens or patients with specific conditions, limiting generalizability of the results.
