Prescribing Novoeight^®? Consider Esperoct^®.

If you like the efficacy and fixed dosing of Novoeight (antihemophilic factor, recombinant), take a look at Esperoct^® for your hemophilia A patients. With a longer half-life across age groups than standard half-life FVIII products, Esperoct^® could be right for your patients.^1,a,b

^aA phase 1, open-label study evaluated the safety and pharmacokinetic properties of Esperoct^® in 26 PTPs. Patients received a single dose of 25, 50, or 75 IU/kg of their previous SHL product (pdFVIII or rFVIII), followed by the same dose of Esperoct^®. To allow for comparison, all results were adjusted to a 50 IU/kg dose of each product.¹

^bIn a phase 3 study of children (aged <12 years) a single-dose PK comparison was performed in 27 children between previous SHL products and Esperoct^® at the same administered dose prior to the start of routine prophylaxis. Half-life comparison is based upon the estimated half-life derived from a population-based model. During the main phase, 68 children received prophylaxis at an average dose of approximately 65 IU/kg twice weekly for 26 weeks.²
