Factor levels at or above 3% graphic

A switch from standard half-life treatment to Esperoct® means factor levels remain high from one dose to the next.

dFactor activity between 1%-5% is defined as moderate hemophilia.

eTrough level goal is 1% for prophylaxis.

fData shown are from a study where 175 previously treated adolescents and adults received routine prophylaxis with Esperoct® 50 IU/kg every 4 days for 76 weeks. Pre-dose factor activity (trough) levels were evaluated at follow-up visits. Mean trough levels for adolescents (12-<18 years) were 2.7 IU/dL.
