A method of treating a blood coagulation factor IX disorder in a patient who is not concurrently being treated with a factor IX formulation, the method comprising administering to the patient a pharmaceutical composition comprising a bispecific antibody that recognizes (a) blood coagulation factor IX and/or activated blood coagulation factor IX, and (b) blood coagulation factor X, and that functionally substitutes for blood coagulation factor VIII,
- wherein the bispecific antibody comprises a first polypeptide and a third polypeptide that form a pair and a second polypeptide and a fourth polypeptide that form a pair,
- wherein the first polypeptide consists of an H chain comprising H chain CDR 1, 2, and 3 amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs:
- 1, 2, and 3, respectively;
- the second polypeptide consists of an H chain comprising H chain CDR 1, 2, and 3 amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs:
- 4, 5, and 6, respectively;
- and the third and fourth polypeptides each consist of a common L chain comprising L chain CDR 1, 2, and 3 amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs:
- 7, 8, and 9, respectively,
- wherein neither blood coagulation factor IX nor activated blood coagulation factor IX is co-administered with the bispecific antibody, and
- wherein the patient does not completely lack blood coagulation factor IX activity.
