Novo Nordisk to showcase new data across its hemophilia portfolio at the ISTH Congress 2026, featuring investigational denecimig

• FRONTIER4 data on investigational denecimig: Exploring efficacy and safety across dosing frequencies for pediatric, adolescent, and adult hemophilia A patients, with or without inhibitors
• Explorer10 data on concizumab (Alhemo^®): Details presented for pediatric hemophilia A or B patients (up to 11 years old), with inhibitors
• Data underscores the breadth of Novo Nordisk's hemophilia portfolio, building on Novo Nordisk's legacy across rare blood disorders

PLAINSBORO, N.J. and BAGSVÆRD, Denmark, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Novo Nordisk today announced that new data will be presented at the upcoming International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) Congress, July 11-15 in Paris, France. The broad range of oral and poster presentations spans the Novo Nordisk hemophilia portfolio and is highlighted by multiple analyses of the phase 3 FRONTIER4 study evaluating the long-term efficacy and safety of investigational denecimig (Mim8) across a range of age groups and dosing frequencies, including once-monthly, once-every-two-weeks, and once-weekly prophylaxis. Additional insights from the portfolio will span clinical and real-world treatment data as well as patient-reported outcomes.

"Everyone's experience with hemophilia is different, and we have a deep responsibility to meet the real-world needs of the community. For more than 45 years, we have listened to the lived experiences of patients, and we continue to advance scientific innovation to improve care," said Martin Holst Lange, chief scientific officer and executive vice president, Research & Development at Novo Nordisk.  "We are excited to share data across our portfolio, including for denecimig, as each of our studies accounts for that lived reality as we focus on advancing person-centric research that will help bring meaningful impact to the rare blood disorders community."

Additionally, data from the open-label phase 3 explorer10 study will be presented for the first time, evaluating the efficacy and safety of concizumab in children up to 11 years of age living with hemophilia A or B (HA/HB), with inhibitors. The use of concizumab in children below 12 years of age with hemophilia A or B, with or without inhibitors, is investigational and not approved by regulatory authorities or available anywhere in the world.

Summary of all presentations
Accepted data at the 34^th ISTH Congress include the following poster and oral presentations. Additional information can be found on the ISTH website.

About denecimig
Denecimig is an investigational, bispecific antibody Factor VIIIa (FVIIIa) mimetic, designed as a routine prophylaxis to prevent or reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes in adult and pediatric patients with hemophilia A (congenital FVIIIa deficiency), with or without inhibitors.¹ In September 2025, Novo Nordisk submitted denecimig for review to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through a Biologics License Application (BLA), a formal request to evaluate a biologic medicine.

About Hemophilia
Hemophilia is a rare inherited bleeding disorder that impairs the body's ability to make blood clots, a process needed to stop bleeding.² While hemophilia can affect men and women, it's most common in men and is estimated to impact 1,125,000 men worldwide.³ There are different types of hemophilia, which are characterized by the type of clotting factor protein that is defective or missing. Hemophilia A is caused by a missing or defective clotting Factor VIII (FVIII), and hemophilia B is caused by a missing or defective clotting Factor IX (FIX).² Hemophilia is often treated by replacing the missing clotting factor via intravenous infusions, also known as replacement therapy. However, sometimes the body can produce inhibitors as an immune response to the clotting factor replacement therapy. When this happens, the therapy may not work and can limit treatment options.³
