Liver biopsy in people with haemophilia gene therapy
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study takes a small liver tissue sample (a liver biopsy) in men who previously received haemophilia gene therapy. The goal is to learn more about how the gene therapy works and how safe it is for the liver.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man age 18 to 80
- You previously joined and were treated in one of these gene therapy trials at Royal Free Hospital: AGT4HB, GO-8, or FLT180a-01 (or follow-up FLT180a-04)
- Your blood clotting protein level (FVIII for haemophilia A or FIX for haemophilia B) is above 1% at some point after gene therapy, with normal PT and TT blood tests
- Your platelet count is at least 140 (not low)
- Your kidney function is normal enough (GFR 50 or higher)
- You can safely have the biopsy: no iodine contrast allergy, no anaesthetic allergy, no known problems reacting to FVIII/FIX infusions, and no FVIII/FIX inhibitor present within the last 14 weeks

This trial asks people with hemophilia who previously received certain gene therapies to have a liver biopsy. The goal is to improve understanding of how the gene therapy affects the liver and to support safer future care.
This trial tests a new gene therapy (REGV131-LNP1265) that aims to let your body produce its own factor IX, reducing or stopping the need for regular infusions. It is for children and adults with severe hemophilia B who are already using factor IX replacement therapy.
This trial tests a gene therapy to help your body produce more of the clotting protein (factor VIII) it's missing. It may reduce or stop the need for regular factor infusions.
This trial tests a one-time (or limited) gene therapy meant to help the body make more factor IX (FIX), which can reduce bleeding in people with hemophilia B. You may be able to qualify if you have significant bleeding history, no factor IX “blockers” (inhibitors), and can follow strict safety and pregnancy-prevention rules.
This Phase 1 study tests a gene therapy designed to help the body make factor VIII (FVIII), which is missing in hemophilia A. It may help reduce bleeding and the need for FVIII infusions, but it is an early-safety trial.
This Phase 1/2 study tests a one-time gene therapy (ASC618) to help the body make clotting factor for people with hemophilia A. It may reduce bleeding and the need for factor infusions, but you must meet several safety and eligibility checks.
