Mechanism of half-life extension (MOE)


Achieving high sustained mean Factor VIII levels (>40%) for most of the week in adults by overcoming the half-life limitations of von Willebrand Factor (vWF)1-3

MOE AA

THE HALF-LIFE OF FACTOR VIII IS EXTENDED WITH NATURAL AMINO ACIDS1-4*

FACTOR VIII1,3,4

At the core of ALTUVIIIO is rFVIII, which replaces deficient FVIII in patients with hemophilia A

Fc Domain

Fc DOMAIN1,3,4

Delays FVIII degradation, and helps FVIII stay in circulation by slowing the clearance rate

XTEN POLYPEPTIDE

XTEN POLYPEPTIDE INSERTION1,3,4

Shields the FVIII molecule from proteolytic degradation and reduces binding to clearance receptors

vWF DD3 DOMAIN

vWF D’D3 DOMAIN4

Prevents binding of FVIII to endogenous vWF

ALTUVIIIO is uniquely designed to be independent of the vWF chaperone3,4

* ALTUVIIIO is composed of naturally occurring amino acids that are able to be broken down through regular protein degradation processes.4

In a Phase 3 study, ALTUVIIIO offered a 48.2-hour half life in adults—the longest of any Factor VIII replacement therapy4-15†

Indication

ALTUVIIIO® [antihemophilic factor (recombinant), Fc-VWF-XTEN fusion protein-ehtl] is a von Willebrand Factor (VWF) independent 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
Limitation of Use

ALTUVIIIO is not indicated for the treatment of von Willebrand disease.

Important Safety Information

Contraindications

ALTUVIIIO is contraindicated in patients who have had severe hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, to the product or its excipients.

Warnings and Precautions
  • Allergic-type hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may occur with ALTUVIIIO. Allergic-type hypersensitivity reactions were not reported in the clinical trials. Advise patients to discontinue use of ALTUVIIIO if hypersensitivity symptoms occur and contact a physician and/or seek immediate emergency care.
  • Formation of neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) to Factor VIII are possible following administration of ALTUVIIIO. Neutralizing antibodies were not reported in the clinical trials. Monitor all patients for the development of Factor VIII inhibitors by appropriate clinical observations and laboratory tests.
  • If assessment of plasma Factor VIII activity is needed, it is recommended to use a validated one-stage clotting assay. The ALTUVIIIO Factor VIII activity level is overestimated by the chromogenic assay and a specific ellagic acid-based aPTT reagent in one-stage clotting assay by approximately 2.5-fold. If these assays are used, divide the result by 2.5 to approximate the patient's ALTUVIIIO Factor VIII activity level.
Adverse Reactions

The most common adverse reactions (>10% of subjects) reported in clinical trials were headache and arthralgia.
