Valoctocogene roxaparvovec

Valoctocogene roxaparvovec is an adeno-associated virus serotype 5 (AAV5) based gene therapy vector causing the expression of the B-domain deleted SQ form of a recombinant human factor VIII (hFVIII-SQ) under the control of a liver-specific promoter. The expressed hFVIII-SQ replaces the missing coagulation factor VIII needed for effective haemostasis.
