Emicizumab can be used for prophylaxis in the following situations:

  • Motivated patient
  • Patient that isn't very active
  • Patient with Hemophilia A with inhibitors

Emicizumab seems to be equivalent to regular factor. It is not a substitution for factor during bleeding episodes or for surgery.
