Is emicizumab finished? The FRONTIER2 trial of the novel bispecific antibody, denecimig (Mim8) for haemophilia A
On this episode, Pip and Rich discuss the <a href="https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa2517384" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FRONTIER2</a>, the phase 3 trial of Mim8 (denecimig) for prophylaxis in haemophilia A with or without inhibitors. They review the study design, efficacy and safety results, and consider where Mim8 may fit into the rapidly evolving haemophilia treatment landscape. They also explore the key unanswered question: does Mim8 offer any meaningful clinical advantage over emicizumab, or is its main benefit greater convenience through fixed-volume administration?<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Using AI to identify hospital acquired thrombosis
<p>On this episode, Pip and Rich chat to Consultant Haematologist, Dr Kate Musgrave and Thrombosis Nurse Specialist, Vicky Marr about how they developed and implemented a natural language processing model that identifies cases of hospital acquired thrombosis. Implementing this strategy in their hospital in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne has led to saving thousands of hours of manually trawling radiology reports - enabling them to focus on what matters - interacting with patients. The tool is now available for implementation across the NHS. This is a must-listen for anyone wanting to improve efficiency in their hospital.</p><br><p><a href="https://www.newcastle-hospitals.nhs.uk/news/newcastle-hospitals-using-artificial-intelligence-ai-to-identify-preventable-blood-clots/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Read more about the project here.</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Apixaban vs rivaroxaban: the trial we've all been waiting for
On this episode, Pip and Rich discuss the <a href="https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2510703" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">COBRRA trial: Castellucci et al. Bleeding Risk with Apixaban vs. Rivaroxaban in Acute Venous Thromboembolism. NEJM. 2026.</a> The trial showed a convincing reduction in clinically relevant bleeding in patients treated with apixaban (3.3% vs 7.1%) and no difference in efficacy. It's a compelling study but there were important exclusion criteria and as ever, there are some nuances beyond the abstract. This episode also includes an update on Pip's daughter's school science project where unwitting families were invited for dinner to find out whether there is, indeed, always time for pudding.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
