a Recommended dose for routine prophylaxis in adults and adolescents ≥12 years: 50 IU/kg every 4 days. Recommended dose for routine prophylaxis in children <12 years: 65 IU/kg twice weekly. Regimen can be individually tailored to less or more frequent dosing based on bleeding episodes.1
b In a phase 3, open-label study, safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of Esperoct® were evaluated in previously treated patients (PTPs) aged ≥12 years with severe hemophilia A. Single-dose PK studies were performed in 42 adults after receiving Esperoct® 50 IU/kg; 175 PTPs received routine prophylaxis (50 IU/kg Q4D) for 76 weeks and 12 adults elected to be treated on demand during the main phase. Treatment-requiring bleeds were reported by patients through diaries.1,2
c In adults and adolescents, factor levels were ≥3% for the entire dosing interval and in PK modeling data, ≥5% for 90% of the time. Mean trough levels for adolescents (12-<18 years) were 2.7 IU/dL. Steady-state FVIII activity profiles were estimated in 143 patients using a one-compartment model with first-order elimination with PK parameters of clearance and volume of distribution.1
d In adults and adolescents on prophylaxis, overall median annual bleed rate (ABR) was 1.2 bleeds/year, and median ABR of 0.9 joint bleeds and 0 spontaneous and traumatic bleeds.
