It is a bittersweet coincidence the Xue et al. published online their successful adenoassociated virus (AAV) gene therapy trial for Chinese men with hemophilia B (HB) utilizing the high-specific-activity factor IX (FIX) variant Padua in Lancet Hematology 1 almost on the same day that the co-discoverer of FIX-Padua, 2 Valder R. Arruda, passed away unexpectedly after a brief illness. Their report augments a growing list of promising gene therapy products for HB, all using FIX-Padua, 3, 4 including at least three in phase 3. In part because of his early experiences practicing hematology in his native Brazil, Dr. Arruda was always interested in addressing the 80% of the worldwide hemophilia population outside of Western countries that have limited access to treatments; 5 thus, the phenotypic cure of at least 9 out of 10 non-Western HB subjects expressing FIX-Padua after gene therapy is a well-timed testament to his contributions to the field of gene therapy.FIX-Padua was identified as a rare X-linked thrombophilia in a collaboration between Dr. Arruda’s laboratory in Philadelphia and Dr. Paolo Simioni’s team in Padua, Italy. 2 The two collaborators had met 10 years prior when they were both post-docs in Leiden, the Netherlands, which was typical of Dr. Arruda’s ability to mix long-
