Novel therapies targeting hematocrit control, including rusfertide under FDA priority review and other agents like sapablursen and divesiran, are advancing treatment for polycythemia vera by reducing the need for phlebotomies and improving patient outcomes.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Biotech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

New drugs that regulate iron and blood cell production will change treatment for polycythemia vera soon. You running biotech in haematology should watch these FDA approvals closely to pivot or partner before cheaper phlebotomy fades.
