Join us for dinner and learn about HEMGENIX: the first and only FDA-approved gene therapy for hemophilia B. HEMGENIX is a onetime gene therapy for 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. If you have hemophilia B or have someone in your family with hemophilia B, this is a great opportunity to learn more about HEMGENIX.
