AJ & Bonnie’s Story: Gaining Independence and His Treatment Routine

Full Prescribing Information: https://bit.ly/VIII-PI. As a student, an artist, and an aspiring graphic designer living with severe hemophilia A, AJ needed protection to match his lifestyle. AJ and his mom, Bonnie, share how early education, advocacy, and proactive care helped him take control of his condition, and how switching to once-weekly ALTUVIIIO® [antihemophilic factor (recombinant), Fc-VWF-XTEN fusion protein-ehtl] gave AJ a treatment that works for him. Hear how higher factor levels for longer (above 40%, the near-normal to normal range, for most of the week in adults) with ALTUVIIIO transformed AJ’s treatment routine, allowing him to enjoy life without constantly planning around self-infusions. Patient stories reflect the real-life experiences of persons diagnosed with hemophilia who have been prescribed ALTUVIIIO. However, individual experiences may vary. Patient stories are not necessarily representative of what another person using ALTUVIIIO may experience. These patients and caregivers were compensated for their time creating this video.
