Novo gets PhIII hemophilia trials for a Roche rival back on track after completing work-around on blood clot threat

After abruptly shutting down three hemophilia studies back in March due to serious safety issues, Novo Nordisk is getting things going again.

The Danish pharma gave the go-ahead to resume Phase III trials for its concizumab candidate, which are investigating subcutaneous prophylaxis treatment in hemophilia A and B patients regardless of inhibitor status. Novo Nordisk had halted the studies after three patients experienced non-fatal blood clots.
