Indications
- Hemophilia A
- Hemophilia A
Dosing
Hemophilia A - Routine Prophylaxis 50 IU/kg IV every 4 days; adjust to 25-65 IU/kg at 3-5 day intervals based on patient response.
Hemophilia A - On-demand (Minor/Moderate Bleeding) 20-30 IU/kg IV, repeat every 24-48 hours until the bleeding episode is resolved.
Hemophilia A - On-demand (Major/Life-threatening Bleeding) 40-50 IU/kg IV, repeat every 12-24 hours until bleeding is resolved (approximately 7-10 days).
Hemophilia A - Perioperative (Minor Surgery) 25-40 IU/kg IV, repeat every 24 hours for at least 1 day until healing is achieved.
Hemophilia A - Perioperative (Major Surgery) 40-60 IU/kg IV preoperatively, then 40-50 IU/kg every 8-24 hours, continuing every 24 hours for at least 7 days post-wound healing.
Hemophilia A - On-demand / Bleeding episodes Dose calculated as body weight (kg) x desired FVIII rise (IU/dL) x 0.5; minor bleeds: 20-40 IU/dL target every 12-24 hrs; moderate: 30-60 IU/dL every 12-24 hrs; major: 60-100 IU/dL every 8-24 hrs; IV infusion.
Hemophilia A - Perioperative management Minor surgery: 30-60 IU/dL target every 12-24 hrs for 3-4 days; major surgery: 60-100 IU/dL target every 8-24 hrs until adequate local hemostasis achieved; IV infusion.
Hemophilia A - Routine prophylaxis Adults and adolescents (>=12 years): 30 IU/kg 3 times weekly IV; adjust dose or frequency based on clinical response.
Contraindications
- Life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction to ELOCTATE or its excipients (sucrose, sodium chloride, L-histidine, calcium chloride, polysorbate 20)
- Life-threatening immediate hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, to XYNTHA or its components, including hamster proteins
Adverse Reactions
Most common in previously treated patients (>0.5%) Arthralgia, malaise, myalgia, headache, rash
Most common in previously untreated patients (>=1.0%) Factor VIII inhibition, device-related thrombosis, rash papular
Postmarketing Factor VIII inhibitor development, hypersensitivity
Most common (>=10%) Headache, arthralgia, pyrexia, cough
Postmarketing Inadequate therapeutic response
Pharmacology
ELOCTATE is a recombinant fusion protein that temporarily replaces missing Coagulation Factor VIII needed for effective hemostasis; its Fc region of IgG1 binds to the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), delaying lysosomal degradation and prolonging plasma half-life compared to standard recombinant Factor VIII.
XYNTHA temporarily replaces missing clotting factor VIII needed for effective hemostasis; treatment normalizes activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) over the effective dosing period.
