Update: End date extended for Takeda's HEMOFIL® M and RECOMBINATE® discontinuation

August 17, 2026

Last year, we informed you about Takeda's global discontinuation of HEMOFIL® M [Antihemophilic Factor (Human), Method M, Monoclonal Purified] and RECOMBINATE® [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant)]. Takeda's discontinuation was due to hemophilia patients transitioning to alternate treatment options.

At the time, Takeda intended to supply HEMOFIL M and RECOMBINATE to patients already receiving these medicines until inventory was depleted or expired, which they anticipated to be until mid-2026 (with exact timing to vary based on potency and demand).

Takeda recently announced that:

  • they intend to supply HEMOFIL® M to patients already receiving the medicine through September 2026;
  • and they intend to supply RECOMBINATE® to patients already receiving the medicine through September 2026, except for RECOMBINATE® 250 IU and 2000 IU, which Takeda anticipates will be available through March 2027.

Please read Takeda's prescriber and patient letters:

As in their initial announcement, Takeda recommends ADVATE® [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant)] and ADYNOVATE® [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), PEGylated] as alternative treatment options.

Takeda advises that healthcare providers should contact their patients now to allow sufficient time to develop long-term, alternative treatment plans.
