Pfizer gets FDA priority review for pediatric hemophilia treatment

Pfizer has received FDA priority review for a supplemental biologics license application to expand the indication of Hympavzi (marstacimab).

The proposed label expansion would include patients with hemophilia A or B ages 6 and older with inhibitors and pediatric patients ages 6-11 without inhibitors, according to a Feb. 6 company news release. Hympavzi is currently approved in the U.S. to treat individuals ages 12 and older with hemophilia A or B without inhibitors.

If approved, Hympavzi would be the first non-factor prophylactic treatment for children ages 6-11 with hemophilia B. The FDA assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act action date in the second quarter of 2026.

Pfizer leaders said the treatment could become a transformative option for populations with limited or burdensome therapies.

The supplemental biologics license application is supported by data from Pfizer’s phase 3 BASIS and BASIS KIDS trials. The FDA previously granted Hympavzi Breakthrough Therapy Designation for routine prophylaxis in children ages 6 to younger than 12 with hemophilia B with or without inhibitors.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
