Intra-articular Bevacizumab
This clinical trial investigates the intra-articular injection of Bevacizumab, a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that inhibits Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). The intervention functions by binding to and neutralizing VEGF-A, thereby blocking the pathogenic angiogenesis and vascular permeability that characterizes chronic hemophilic synovitis. For administration, the first four patients will receive a dose of 20 mg in 0.8 mL per injection, and if this is well-tolerated without major toxicities, the dose for all subsequent patients will be increased to 40 mg in 1.6 mL. Each injection will be administered directly into the target joint (knee, elbow, or ankle) once every 28 days for a total of four doses. Crucially, all injections will be performed only after appropriate prophylactic factor replacement to mitigate any procedure-related bleeding risk.
