9 patients with severe haemophilia A and inhibitors (inhibitor levels between 0.1 to 5.8 U/ml) and 3 patients with severe haemophilia B and inhibitors (inhibitor levels between 0.1 to 11 U/ml) were treated on a total of 16 and 13 occasions, respectively, with a large dose of antigen (factor VIII or factor IX) and cyclophosphamide (10-15 mg/kg b.w. i.v. initially and then 2-3 mg/kg b.w. orally for 7-10 days) in connection with severe bleeding and surgery. All the patients had proved not to respond to treatment with factor VIII or factor IX concentrate alone, and all except one had shown strong secondary antibody increases. In 6 of the patients with haemophilia A the treatment (11 occasions) had a satisfactory haemostatic effect and even permitted neurosurgery without bleeding complications. The inhibitor level remained at zero for 5-10 days, after which it gradually began to return towards its original level. In these cases it was possible to give factor VIII in amounts which neutralised the inhibitor and afterwards raised the factor VIII initially to at least 50%. In the 3 patients with haemophilia B treatment (13 occasions) was successful except on one occasion, and surgery was performed without abnormal bleeding. The factor IX level was initially raised to at least 50% except in the one failure. The inhibitor level remained at zero for 12 days to 3 months, after which it gradually rose towards its original level. One patient was treated on 8 occasions.
