Study design
In a study about using Alhemo® pen, 80 patients with hemophilia A or B, with or without inhibitors, using factor replacement or Factor 8 mimetic therapy, and caregivers, were included. The main purpose was to determine whether the Alhemo® pen-injector is easy to learn how to use and easy to use. After training, people prepared and performed a single injection into an injection pad or dummy. Time for training, preparation, injections, and number of complete injections were assessed. Participants evaluated handling using a questionnaire. Response scale included the following choices: very difficult, difficult, neither difficult or easy, easy, very easy. Average time to complete an injection was 1 minute, 21 seconds. Limitations of this study: this study may not be the same as the true experience of at-home use. In addition, it may be difficult for people to rate the pen based on 1 practice injection.
“I like the once-daily dosing because of the small needle and a low dosage volume.”
