The natural recycling pathway of IgG1 allows ALPROLIX to stay in the body for an extended period of time between infusions1
- ALPROLIX is composed of rFIX covalently linked to the Fc region of IgG11,2
– IgG1 is a naturally occurring protein with anti-inflammatory properties1,2
- ALPROLIX binds to the neonatal Fc receptor, which diverts ALPROLIX, delaying degradation and extending half-life1
The half-life of ALPROLIX in adults is 86 hours for a 50 IU/kg dose1
ALPROLIX reaches its peak activity level as quickly as BeneFIX® [coagulation factor IX (recombinant)]–within 10 minutes of infusion3*†
Studies have not been conducted to assess the safety or efficacy of ALPROLIX compared with BeneFIX.
* A subset of 22 patients (the sequential pharmacokinetic subgroup) received consecutive single IV doses of 50 IU/kg BeneFIX and ALPROLIX at the beginning of the B-LONG study (baseline) for direct comparison. For both ALPROLIX and BeneFIX, peak activity was reached approximately 10 minutes after the start of the infusion.3
† Peak activity level does not mean bleeds are resolved within 10 minutes.3
IgG1=immunoglobulin G1; rFIX=recombinant factor IX.
