Leissinger editorial featured in NEJM

A new treatment that helps people with hemophilia A maintain higher levels of a crucial blood clotting factor with fewer treatments is a victory for patients, according to a new editorial in  The New England Journal of Medicine by Cindy Leissinger, MD, director of the Louisiana Center for Bleeding and Clotting Disorders at TUSOM. 

Although the Tulane center was not a part of the trial, Leissinger notes that other new therapies are being studied here, including a gene therapy trial that has the potential of a cure or “near-cure” for some patients with hemophilia. Read more here.
