| Summary: | Background: Haemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder due to failure of throm- bin generation resulting from clotting factor deficiency. In haemophilia A, the de- ficient factor is Factor VIII due to mutations in the F8 gene. In the past several decades, we have seen an unprecedented evolution of therapies for managing hae- mophilia A (Mahlangu, 2022) .

Notwithstanding these advances in treatments, patients with haemophilia A (PwHA) remain with several unmet needs. |
