What is Alprolix?

Alprolix (eftrenonacog alfa) is a gene-activated recombinant clotting factor IX medicine used to treat hemophilia B. It replaces the missing or faulty factor IX that people with hemophilia B need to form blood clots. [1]

What condition is it used for?

Alprolix is prescribed for people with hemophilia B. It’s used to prevent bleeding episodes (prophylaxis) and to treat bleeding when they occur (on-demand treatment), because it supplies functional factor IX activity. [1]

Is it the same as other factor IX products?

Alprolix is a specific type of recombinant factor IX product (eftrenonacog alfa). Other hemophilia B treatments may include different factor IX products or different dosing schedules, but Alprolix is one branded option within factor IX therapies. [1]
