Painful swellings Pain with movement Joint pain gives me and my family more options. Maybe we can do something a little more than we already do, and we can plan more things ahead. Ken, patient Difficulty walking far After 25 weeks on, adults (18 and older) with factor VIII inhibitors evaluated their hemophilia-related symptoms and physical functioning using a questionnaire widely recognized by the medical community. General symptoms of pain were not measured. A patient survey explored other areas This analysis was considered exploratory, which means that it was not specifically designed to show differences. The results shown include patient responses to a survey given once a month. It may be hard to interpret the results due to the small number of participants.

10 How works is a therapeutic antibody a molecule created in a laboratory to treat disease. FACTOR VIIIa does not create or increase factor VIII inhibitors People with hemophilia A are missing factor VIII (8). Its job is to attach to two other molecules, activated remains active in the presence of factor VIII inhibitors factor IX (9) and factor X (10), and bring them together so blood can clot. FACTOR IXa FACTOR X Since is not derived from blood plasma, it does not contain blood viruses Platelet Cell Membrane works differently than treatments you may have used in the past. acts like a bridge, bringing activated factor IX and factor X together. This enables the clotting process to continue without needing to replace factor VIII. FACTOR IXa Platelet Cell Membrane FACTOR X may cause the following serious side effects when used with apcc (FEIBA ), including: Blood clots (thrombotic events). Blood clots may form in blood vessels in your arm, leg, lung, or head.

ADAs are our body s natural reaction to molecules it detects as foreign in this case,. They are not inhibitors and do not impact factor VIII replacement therapy or other medicines. Neutralizing ADAs are anti-drug antibodies that have the potential to make a medicine ineffective. The incidence of ADAs in clinical trials was 3.5%, with <1% ADAs with neutralizing potential. There was no apparent impact of the presence of ADAs on safety. The number of patients with -related ADAs may be under-reported due to the sensitivity of the test used to detect them.

In clinical trials, thrombotic microangiopathy was reported in 0.8% of patients (3/391) and in 8.1% of patients (3/37) who received at least one dose of apcc. Patients presented with thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and acute kidney injury, without severe deficiencies in ADAMTS13 activity. Evidence of improvement was seen within one week following discontinuation of apcc. One patient resumed following resolution of TMA. Consider the benefits and risks if apcc must be used in a patient receiving prophylaxis. Monitor for the development of TMA when administering apcc. Immediately discontinue apcc and interrupt prophylaxis if clinical symptoms and/or laboratory findings consistent with TMA occur, and manage as clinically indicated. Consider the benefits

21 and risks of resuming prophylaxis following complete resolution of TMA on a case-by-case basis. 5.2 Thromboembolism Associated with and apcc Thrombotic events were reported from clinical trials when on average a cumulative amount of >100 U/kg/24 hours of apcc was administered for 24 hours or more to patients receiving prophylaxis. In clinical trials, thrombotic events were reported in 0.5% of patients (2/391) and in 5.4% of patients (2/37) who received at least one dose of apcc. No thrombotic event required anticoagulation therapy. Evidence of improvement or resolution was seen within one month following discontinuation of apcc. One patient resumed following resolution of thrombotic event. Consider the benefits and risks if apcc must be used in a patient receiving prophylaxis. Monitor for the development of thromboembolism when administering apcc. Immediately discontinue apcc and interrupt prophylaxis if clinical symptoms, imaging, or laboratory findings consistent with thromboembolism occur, and manage as clinically indicated. Consider the benefits and risks of resuming prophylaxis following complete resolution of thrombotic events on a case-by-case basis. 5.3 Laboratory Coagulation Test Interference affects intrinsic pathway clotting-based laboratory tests, including activated clotting time (ACT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aptt), and all assays based on aptt, such as one-stage factor VIII (FVIII) activity (Table 1). Therefore, intrinsic pathway clottingbased laboratory test results in patients treated with should not be used to monitor activity, determine dosing for factor replacement or anti-coagulation, or measure FVIII inhibitor titers [see Drug Interactions (7.2)]. Laboratory tests affected and unaffected by are shown in Table 1. Table 1 Coagulation Test Results Affected and Unaffected by Results Affected by Activated partial thromboplastin time (aptt) Bethesda assays (clotting-based) for FVIII inhibitor titers One-stage, aptt-based, single-factor assays aptt-based Activated Protein C Resistance (APC-R) Activated clotting time (ACT) Results Unaffected by Bethesda assays (bovine chromogenic) for FVIII inhibitor titers Thrombin time (TT) One-stage, prothrombin time (PT)-based, singlefactor assays Chromogenic-based single-factor assays other than FVIII* Immuno-based assays (i.e., ELISA, turbidimetric methods) Genetic tests of coagulation factors (e.g., Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin 20210) *For important considerations regarding FVIII chromogenic activity assays, see Drug Interactions (7.2). 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Thrombotic Microangiopathy Associated with and apcc [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] Thromboembolism Associated with and apcc [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
