First Patient Treated With Hemgenix® (Etranacogene Dezaparvovec) Gene Therapy For Haemophilia B In Austria

Vienna, Austria – 9 April 2025 - CSL Behring Austria today announced that the first haemophilia B patient in Austria was treated with the gene therapy HEMGENIX® (etranacogene dezaparvovec) at the Comprehensive Care Center of the University Hospital of Medicine Vienna.HEMGENIX® is the first one-time gene therapy approved in Europe for the treatment of adults with severe and moderately severe haemophilia B, an inherited bleeding disorder caused by the lack of Factor IX (a protein needed to produce blood clots to stop bleeding). It is used in adults without a history of Factor IX inhibitors.1“It is a great opportunity for people with hemophilia B to live a symptom-free life for many years,” explains hematologist Univ.-Prof. Priv.-Doz. Dr Cihan Ay from the Medical University of Vienna, University Clinic for Internal Medicine I Clinical Department for Hematology and Hemostaseology."For the community of affected patients and their families, this represents an enormously significant milestone: the ability to treat hemophilia with gene therapy, and the fact that this option is now available in Austria, is something our community has been eagerly anticipating and hoping for over decades," says Thomas Schindl, MA, Chairman of the Austrian Hemophilia Society (ÖHG)."We are proud and grateful to offer haemophilia B patients in Austria a treatment option that has the potential to transform their lives," said Dr Beate Natmessnig, Managing Director of CSL Behring Austria. "This achievement is the result of outstanding regional and national collaboration among all parties involved and is a strong testament to Austria's innovative capabilities."HEMGENIX® was granted conditional marketing authorisation by the European Commission (EC) for the European Union and European Economic Area in February 2023, following approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in November 2022

Csl Behring'S Gene Therapy Hemgenix® (Etranacogene Dezaparvovec-Drlb) Four Years Post-Infusion Data Continue To Show Sustained Efficacy And Safety In Adults With Hemophilia B

94 percent of patients eliminated factor IX prophylaxis and remained free of continuous prophylaxis through four years post-treatmentMean factor IX activity levels were sustained at near normal levels of 37% through four years post-treatment, reinforcing the efficacy of HEMGENIX in the treatment of hemophilia BPhase 3 HOPE-B data showed that a one-time treatment with HEMGENIX provided long-term bleed protection as mean adjusted annualized bleeding rate (ABR) for all bleeds was reduced by approximately 90% from lead-in as compared to year fourKING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Feb. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Global biotechnology leader CSL (ASX:CSL; USOTC:CSLLY) today announced the four-year results from the pivotal HOPE-B study confirming the long-term durability and safety of a one-time infusion of HEMGENIX® (etranacogene dezaparvovec-drlb) for adults living with hemophilia B. In an oral presentation at the 18th Annual Congress of the European Association for Haemophilia and Allied Disorders (EAHAD), data showed that through four years, HEMGENIX continues to deliver elevated and sustained factor IX activity levels, can offer long-term and greater bleed protection compared to prophylactic treatment, can eliminate the need for routine factor IX prophylaxis, and maintains a favorable safety profile. Approved in 2022 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), HEMGENIX is the first gene therapy for the treatment of adults with hemophilia B who currently use factor IX prophylaxis therapy, or have current or historical life-threatening bleeding, or have repeated, serious spontaneous bleeding episodes. It is also the only approved gene therapy for hemophilia B that can treat adult patients with and without AAV5 neutralizing antibodies thereby providing the potential for a greater number of eligible patients to be treated."Hemophilia B can cause spontaneous bleeds into the joints, resulting in extreme pain and progressive, arthritis-like damage, which can lead to permanent physical debility," said Steven Pipe, MD, Professor of Pediatrics and Pathology, Laurence A
