Description
Indication & Scope
QFITLIA® (Fitusiran Sodium) is indicated for the routine prophylaxis of bleeding episodes in patients aged 12 years and older with severe hemophilia A or hemophilia B, with or without factor VIII or IX inhibitors.
- Mechanism: Fitusiran Sodium is a GalNAc-conjugated small interfering RNA (siRNA) that specifically targets antithrombin (AT) messenger RNA in hepatocytes. By reducing antithrombin production, it enhances thrombin generation and restores hemostatic balance, thereby reducing spontaneous and recurrent bleeding episodes.
- Drug Class: Antithrombin-directed small interfering RNA (siRNA).
- Clinical Use: Long-term prophylactic treatment for adolescents and adults with hemophilia A or B, regardless of inhibitor status.

How to use ?
Recommended Dose: The recommended starting dose is 50 mg administered by subcutaneous injection once every two months. Dose adjustments may be made based on antithrombin (AT) activity to maintain target AT levels of 15–35%. Depending on clinical response, the regimen may be adjusted to 20 mg every two months or 50 mg once monthly.
Time: Administer 50 mg by subcutaneous injection every 2 months. Dose regimen may be adjusted based on individual response and AT activity levels.
Instructions for use: Administer by subcutaneous injection into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm using a pre-filled injection device. Rotate injection sites and do not inject into the same site repeatedly. Patients may self-administer after receiving appropriate training. Do not administer intravenously or intramuscularly.
Interaction: Fitusiran is not metabolized by CYP450 enzymes and has a low potential for CYP-mediated drug interactions. Concomitant use with coagulation factor replacement therapy requires careful monitoring due to potential thrombotic risk.
Side effects: Common adverse reactions include injection-site reactions, upper respiratory tract infections, fatigue, and increased liver enzymes. Important safety risks include thrombotic events and gallbladder-related disorders, such as cholecystitis and pancreatitis.
