STOCKHOLM, Feb. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sobi will present new data at the 15th European Association of Haemophilia and Allied Disorders (EAHAD) virtual conference from 2-4 February 2022, contributing to the safety and efficacy profile and long-term benefits of Elocta (efmoroctocog alfa), an extended half-life factor VIII treatment for haemophilia A. The studies that will be presented support Sobi's ongoing commitment to developing a treatment paradigm that offers protection through personalised treatment for people with haemophilia.
"We are glad to be at EAHAD 2022 with new data on long-term joint health, quality of life and immune tolerance induction that will further contribute to Elocta's already comprehensive body of evidence," said Anders Ullman, Head of R&D and Chief Medical Officer at Sobi. "Sobi is proud to further demonstrate our commitment to expanding knowledge and elevating standards of care, and we believe this work will ultimately lead to more possibilities for people living with haemophilia," he said.

About Elocta/Eloctate
Elocta/Eloctate (efmoroctocog alfa) is a recombinant clotting factor therapy developed for haemophilia A using Fc fusion technology (rFVIIIFc) to prolong circulation in the body. It is engineered by fusing factor VIII to the Fc portion of immunoglobulin G subclass 1, or IgG1 (a protein commonly found in the body), enabling Elocta/Eloctate to use a naturally occurring pathway to extend the time the therapy remains in the body (half-life). Elocta/Eloctate is approved and marketed by Sobi for the treatment of haemophilia A in the EU in addition to Russia, UK, Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. It is approved and marketed as ELOCTATE [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), Fc Fusion Protein] by Sanofi in the United States, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, Canada, Korea, and other countries where Sanofi has the marketing rights.
About the Sobi and Sanofi collaboration
Sobi and Sanofi collaborate on the development and commercialisation of Alprolix and Elocta/ELOCTATE. Sobi has final development and commercialisation rights in the Sobi territory (essentially Europe, North Africa, Russia and most Middle Eastern markets). Sanofi has final development and commercialisation rights in North America and all other regions in the world excluding the Sobi territory and has manufacturing responsibility for Elocta/ELOCTATE and Alprolix. While Fc fusion technology has been used for more than 15 years, Sobi and Sanofi are the first companies to utilise it in the treatment of haemophilia. In September 2019, Sobi exercised early opt-in for the development and commercialisation of efanesoctocog alfa, an investigational factor VIII therapy with the potential to provide extended protection from bleeds with once-weekly dosing for people with haemophilia A.
