aCompared to SHL products, adults and adolescents required 50% fewer infusions when administered every other day and 40% fewer when administered 3x weekly.

dData shown are from a study of 68 previously treated children (34 aged 0–5 and 34 aged 6–11) who received an average dose of approximately 65 IU/kg twice weekly for 26 weeks. Median annualized bleeding rates are shown.
eMedian annualized bleeding rate shown is from the main and extension phases of the clinical trial in previously treated children with severe hemophilia A, for a median of 5 years.
fA target joint was defined as a single joint with ≥3 bleeding episodes in 6 consecutive months. All baseline target joints reached definition of target joint resolution (if there were no bleeding episodes for 12 consecutive months) in slightly over 2 years of treatment with Esperoct®. Twelve patients with 16 documented target joints at baseline participated in the main and extension phases of the clinical trial.

Bleed control adults and adolescents can count on.

Doctors rated Esperoct® “excellent” or “good” at stopping bleeding during surgery 95.6% of the time.h

hAs part of the pathfinder 3 clinical trial, effective bleed control was evaluated after surgery by the surgeon, anesthesiologist or investigator using a four-point scale of excellent, good, moderate and none.

Esperoct® FAQs
Esperoct® FAQs

Your questions, answered.

Question: How is it possible to dose less often while maintaining higher factor levels?

Answer: Esperoct® is an extended half-life (EHL) factor. In a study of adults and adolescents treated with Esperoct® for prophylaxis, researchers confirmed that the recombinant factor stays in the body longer than standard half-life products.i And that typically means dosing less often. This EHL, in combination with the ability of Esperoct® to keep factor levels in adults at or above 3% for 100% of the timej, leads to effective bleed protection. 

Question: How is Esperoct® used for surgery?

Answer: The number of doses and length of treatment varies by both procedure and patient. Your hematologist and surgeon will work together to create the best treatment plan for your circumstances.

iData shown are from a comparison study of 26 previously treated patients (PTPs) 18 years or older who received a 25, 50, or 75 IU/kg dose of their previous SHL product followed by the same dose of Esperoct®. To allow for comparison, all results were adjusted to a 50 IU/kg dose of each product.

jData 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.
