Cost-effectiveness of etranacogene dezaparvovec compared to eftrenonacog alfa for the treatment of adult patients with severe and moderately severe haemophilia B in Sweden.

One-time gene therapy for hemophilia B may eliminate lifelong infusions and costs, offering potential freedom from frequent treatments.

INTRODUCTION: Etranacogene dezaparvovec (EDZ), a novel one-time gene therapy for severe/moderately severe haemophilia B, provides sustained factor IX (FIX) activity, usually eliminating the need for lifelong replacement therapy. Etranacogene dezaparvovec was modeled as more effective and cost-saving than eftrenonacog alfa for adults with severe or moderately severe hemophilia B in Sweden.
