Just B with IXINITY®

It’s refreshing when a company really
connects with the community they’re providing treatment options for, which is
why today, I’m happy to spread the word about the new promotional campaign from
Aptevo, the makers of the factor IX treatment, IXINITY® [coagulation
factor IX (recombinant)].

people in the hemophilia B community inspired the campaign, plus see it for yourself at JustBIXperiences.com.

Finding inspiration from familiar faces

As IXINITY marks its second anniversary
as a treatment option for those with hemophilia B, the people behind the
product are excited to start the next phase with a fresh new face. They didn’t
have to look very far, because who better to represent the close-knit
hemophilia B community and the company that cares about them than real people actually
using IXINITY?
Introducing…

B, make it your IXperience™ with IXINITY.

An idea that became an identity, inspired
by everyone who is redefining what it means to have hemophilia B by living life
on your own terms and Just B-ing yourself.
By sharing your experiences, your
expectations, and your aspirations, you’ve shown that, regardless of having
hemophilia or not, everyone deserves the chance to Just B.

IXINITY INDICATIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

What
is IXINITY®?
IXINITY [coagulation factor IX (recombinant)] is a medicine
used to replace clotting factor (factor IX) that is missing in adults and
children at least 12 years of age with hemophilia B. Hemophilia B is also
called congenital factor IX deficiency or Christmas disease. Hemophilia B is an
inherited bleeding disorder that prevents clotting. Your healthcare provider
may give you IXINITY to control and prevent bleeding episodes or when you have
surgery.
IXINITY is not indicated for induction of immune tolerance
in patients with hemophilia B.
