Indications & Usage
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE ALTUVIIIO is indicated for use in adults and pediatric patients with hemophilia A (congenital factor VIII deficiency) for: Routine prophylaxis to reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes On-demand treatment and control of bleeding episodes Perioperative management of bleeding ALTUVIIIO [antihemophilic factor (recombinant), Fc-VWF-XTEN fusion protein-ehtl] is a recombinant DNA-derived, Factor VIII concentrate indicated for use in adults and children with hemophilia A (congenital factor VIII deficiency) for: Routine prophylaxis to reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes On-demand treatment & control of bleeding episodes Perioperative management of bleeding ( 1 ) Limitation of Use: ALTUVIIIO is not indicated for the treatment of von Willebrand disease. ( 1 ) Limitation of Use ALTUVIIIO is not indicated for the treatment of von Willebrand disease.
Dosage & Administration
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For intravenous use after reconstitution only. For intravenous use only. Each ALTUVIIIO vial label states Factor VIII activity in international units (IU or unit). ( 2.1 ) For routine prophylaxis: 50 IU/kg once weekly. ( 2.1 ) For on-demand treatment and control of bleeding episodes and perioperative management: 50 IU/kg ( 2.1 ) Estimated Increment of Factor VIII (IU/dL or % of normal) = 50 IU/kg × 2 (IU/dL per IU/kg) ( 2.1 ) To achieve a specific target Factor VIII activity level, use the following formula: Dosage (IU) = Body Weight (kg) × Desired Factor VIII Increase (IU/dL or % normal) × 0.5 (IU/kg per IU/dL). ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Dose Each ALTUVIIIO vial label states the Factor VIII potency in international units (IU). One IU corresponds to the Factor VIII activity contained in one milliliter of normal human plasma, as defined by the current World Health Organization (WHO) international standard for Factor VIII concentrate. Potency assignment for ALTUVIIIO is determined using an activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)-based one-stage clotting assay. It is recommended to use a validated one-stage clotting assay to measure ALTUVIIIO Factor VIII activity in…

The safety data described in this section reflects exposure to ALTUVIIIO in two clinical studies, Study 1 and Study 2 and are pooled for analysis. In Study 1, a total of 159 previously treated patients (PTPs) (134 adults and 25 adolescents) with severe Hemophilia A) received at least one dose of ALTUVIIIO for either routine prophylaxis, on-demand treatment of bleeding episodes or perioperative management. A total of 152 (96%) patients achieved at least 25 exposure days and 115 (72%) patients achieved at least 50 exposure days with a median of 53.0 (range 2–63) for both exposure days and injections per patient. Overall exposure was…
