Racial and Ethnic Disparities in the Context of New and Emerging Treatments for Hemophilia

Statement of Need

New and emerging therapies for hemophilia are transforming clinical pathways in patient care. Such therapies include extended half-life products, non-factor/rebalancing therapies, and even gene therapies. But while this expanding armamentarium is a triumph in the evolution of hemophilia prophylaxis and treatment, patient access to such breakthroughs remains limited, especially in underserved populations.

In this 30-minute CME Outfitters Snack activity, two experts in hemophilia explore the reasons behind inequities in care. Indeed, non-White patients with hemophilia have the highest rates of mortality, chronic pain, impaired functional status, and hemophilia-related distress. Beyond illuminating the scope of the problem, the faculty provides several actionable strategies to help practicing clinicians ensure equitable care for all patients.

At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to better:
