The one time dose life-changing therapy, priced at $3.5 million, offers hope and relief to individuals suffering from this severe blood disorder. By addressing the genetic cause of hemophilia B, HEMGENIX® has the potential to transform the lives of patients, significantly reducing bleeds and the need for frequent infusions.
