A special therapy has helped people with haemophilia B.

It's made people better, say British doctors.

Haemophilia is a blood disease.

Patients can't stop bleeding when they get a cut.

This is very dangerous and painful.

In most people, the body makes a protein called clotting factor IX, which clots the blood and stops the bleeding.

People with haemophilia don't have enough.

The new treatment can fix the problem.

They tested the new drug on people with haemophilia.

The new drug helps make the protein, so the blood can clot when it needs to.

This is amazing for people living with haemophilia.

Elliott Mason tried the new drug.

His life has changed and now he feels normal.

In the past, he couldn't run or play sports.

Elliott had to have injections four times a week.

Many haemophilia patients had a lot of pain from this treatment.

The results of the tests were published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

They showed nine out of 10 patients didn't need their clotting factor IX injections after the new drug.

This trial is the newest discovery for treating both haemophilia A and B.
