“He hasn't had a breakthrough or joint bleed since being on ALTUVIIIO!”
Considering the switch
I realized we needed a higher level of protection when Harrison was getting bumps and still having to get factor while on subcutaneous prophylaxis. When choosing a treatment option for Harrison, we wanted to limit how frequently he was getting hurt without stopping him from being the funny, sweet kid who loves to sing and play T-ball. It’s always nerve-racking leaving the treatment you are currently on in hopes that the next product will be better. I was hopeful and remained positive toward a brighter future!
Working with Harrison’s care team
We had a detailed conversation with his hematologist about the benefits of ALTUVIIIO and how it works, as well as the most common side effects. They listened to my requests on how many times I wanted my son's factor levels checked throughout the week to know what his levels were on any given day.
The right fit for us
The effective bleed protection that ALTUVIIIO demonstrated in studies, and the once-weekly infusion, make it the right fit for Harrison and our family. One time, my son fell off his bike and knocked out two teeth. One dose in the middle of the week in between his infusions was all it took to resolve his bleed!
