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

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at liver tissue from people with hemophilia who previously had gene therapy. The goal is to understand how the gene therapy affected the liver, which may help improve future treatments.
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 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.
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy that uses a modified virus (lentivirus) to deliver a working copy of the factor VIII gene to your cells. The goal is to help your body produce factor VIII on its own, reducing or eliminating the need for factor VIII infusions.
This early-phase study tests an FVIII gene therapy to help your body make more of the missing clotting factor in hemophilia A. It’s aimed at adults with severe low FVIII levels who have already used FVIII replacement products for a long time and have not developed an immune blocker (an inhibitor).
