Beriplex P/N(Human prothrombin complex)- history and differentiation
Product features of Beriplex P/N Beriplex P/N (Human Prothrombin Complex) is a balanced PCC, which contains all the components necessary to rapidly restore haemostasis in a bleeding emergency caused by vitamin K antagonists. Beriplex P/N contains all essential coagulation factors: Factor II, Factor VII, Factor IX and Factor X Beriplex P/N contains the thromboinhibitors: Protein C and Protein S Beriplex P/N comes in a 500 IU vial and 20 ml diluent vial Factors in Beriplex P/N are immediately bioavailable after administration Beriplex P/N is tested by PCR, nanofiltered and pasteurised with proven risk reduction for transmissable infectious agents Storage at room temperature (up to +25 C) The shelf life of Beriplex P/N is 36 months. Beriplex P/N comes with the Mix2Vial * application set Maximum infusion speed 8mL/min 17 * Mix2Vial is a registered trademark of West or one of its subsidiaries PCR, polymerase chain reaction Beriplex P/N Product Monograph, November 5, 2010
Indications for Beriplex P/N Beriplex P/N (Human prothrombin complex) is indicated in adults ( 18 years of age) for the treatment of bleeding and perioperative prophylaxis of bleeding in acquired deficiency of the prothrombin complex coagulation factors, such as deficiency caused by treatment with vitamin K antagonists, or in case of overdose of vitamin K antagonists, when rapid correction of the deficiency is required. No adequate study in subjects with congenital deficiency is available. Beriplex P/N can be used for the treatment of bleeding and perioperative prophylaxis of bleeding in congenital deficiency of any of the vitamin K dependent coagulation factors only if purified specific coagulation factor product is not available. 18 Beriplex P/N Product Monograph, November 5, 2010

Beriplex P/N: dosing recommendations Guide for dosage: 1 IU FIX, FVII, FII, FX per kg body weight can be expected to raise FIX by 1.3%, FVII by 1.6%, FII, FX by 1.8% Required dosage: The dose will depend on the International Normalised Ratio (INR) before treatment and the targeted INR. In the following table approximate doses (ml/kg b.w.) of the reconstituted product and IU of Factor IX/kg b.w. required for normalisation of INR (e.g. 1.3) at different initial INR levels are given.

IU/mL Beriplex P/N Phase III study: coagulation factor and thromboinhibitor levels Patients receiving OAT were eligible for this prospective multinational study if their INR exceeded 2 and they required either emergency surgical or urgent invasive diagnostic intervention or INR normalization due to acute bleeding. Study endpoints included INR normalization (<1.3.) by 30 minutes after PCC infusion and haemostatic efficacy. 1.40 1.20 1.00 0.80 0.60 0.40 0.20 0.00 Before 30 mins 1 h 3 h 6 h 12 h 24 h 48 h Time Factor II Factor VII Factor IX Factor X Protein C Protein S 28 Pabinger et al.
