Here’s how to get started
STEP 1:
Discuss BEQVEZ with your doctor
We understand getting gene therapy is an important decision
As with any new treatment, it’s normal to have questions.
- The first step is to talk to your doctor to see if BEQVEZ is right for you
- Talking to your loved ones is also important
- Choosing BEQVEZ is a decision you don’t have to make alone
BEQVEZ may be an option if you:
- Are male and 18 years of age or older
- Have moderate to severe hemophilia B
Your doctor will tell you about lifestyle changes you may need to make before getting BEQVEZ, like:
- Limiting alcohol during the first year after the BEQVEZ infusion
- Not donating sperm and being abstinent or using a male condom for the first 6 months after your infusion
Here are some questions that may help when you talk to your doctor
- How often do you think about your hemophilia?
- In what ways has hemophilia had an impact on your daily routine?
- Is your current treatment meeting your treatment needs?
- What is most important to you when choosing a treatment?
- What are your short- and long-term plans after treatment?
- Are you able to commit to potential temporary lifestyle changes?
Together, you and your doctor can decide if BEQVEZ is a good choice for you and your treatment goals.
Talk to your doctor about BEQVEZ
STEP 2:
Confirming your eligibility
To find out if BEQVEZ is right for you, you and your doctor will talk about considerations like potential lifestyle changes. You will also need lab testing and confirmation of your access and insurance coverage to see if you’re eligible for BEQVEZ.
Your doctor will check your eligibility with various tests to confirm if BEQVEZ may be a treatment option for you
These tests include, but are not limited to, checking:
- your liver health
- for factor IX (FIX) inhibitors
- to see if you have any neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) to BEQVEZ
You will get the results from your NAb test after about 7 to 10 days.
Your care team will talk to you about your results and whether BEQVEZ is right for you.
