Careful control of dose is especially important in cases of life-threatening bleeding or major surgery. 1 If administered dose is ineffective in achieving expected factor VIII levels or bleeding not controlled, consider possibility that inhibitors may have developed. 1 (See Development of Inhibitors to Porcine Factor VIII under Cautions.) Administration IV Administration Administer by slow IV injection or slow IV infusion. 1 (See Rate of Administration under Dosage and Administration.) Reconstitution Reconstitute lyophilized powder with manufacturer-supplied prefilled diluent syringe. 1 May require reconstitution of more than one vial to obtain required dose. 1 Prior to reconstitution, allow drug vial and diluent to warm to room temperature. 1 After addition of diluent, gently swirl vial until powder is completely dissolved. 1 Resultant solution should be clear and colorless; discard if particulate matter or discoloration observed. 1 Administer within 3 hours after reconstitution. 1 Do not administer reconstituted solution in the same tubing or container with other drugs. 1 Consult manufacturer's labeling for specific instructions on reconstitution and preparation. 1 Rate of Administration Administer at a rate of 1 2 mL per minute. 1 Dosage Dosage and potency expressed in terms of international units (IU, units) of antihemophilic factor activity. 1 Potency is determined by a one-stage clotting assay calibrated using WHO standard. 1 Adults Acquired Hemophilia A Treatment and Prevention of Bleeding Episodes IV Manufacturer recommends initial dose of 200 units/kg. 1 Adjust subsequent dose and dosing frequency (every 4 12 hours recommended by manufacturer) based on individual clinical response and postinfusion levels of factor VIII to maintain the following target trough factor VIII levels: 1 Minor or moderate bleeding (e.g., superficial muscle without neurovascular compromise, joint bleed): 50 100% of normal. 1 Major bleeding (e.g., moderate to severe intramuscular, retroperitoneal, GI, or intracranial bleeding): 100 200% of normal to control acute bleeding episode, then maintain at 50 100% of normal if subsequent dosing required. 1 Do not exceed plasma factor VIII levels of 200% of normal (200 units/dL) at any time. 1 Cautions for Obizur Contraindications Life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions to antihemophilic factor (recombinant), porcine sequence or any of its components (e.g., hamster protein). 1 Warnings/Precautions Warnings Development of Inhibitors to Porcine Factor VIII Risk of development of inhibitory antibodies (inhibitors) to porcine factor VIII. 1 Reported in approximately 26% of patients in principal efficacy study. 1 Monitor patients for development of inhibitors with appropriate clinical observation and laboratory tests. 1 (See Laboratory Monitoring under Cautions.) Suspect presence of inhibitors if patient fails to respond to adequate therapy. 1 Consider other therapeutic options if inhibitors suspected and lack of response present. 1 Laboratory Monitoring Monitor factor VIII activity (with one-stage clotting assay) after each dose to confirm that adequate levels have been attained and maintained. 1 Obtain plasma factor VIII level 30 minutes and 3 hours after initial dose, and 30 minutes after each subsequent dose. 1 Monitor for development of inhibitors to porcine factor VIII. 1 Perform appropriate laboratory test (i.e., modified version of Bethesda assay [Nijmegen]) to confirm presence of an inhibitor. 1 (See Development of Inhibitors to Porcine Factor VIII under Cautions.) Sensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity Reactions Risk of hypersensitivity reactions. 1 Contains trace amounts of baby hamster kidney (BHK) proteins, which may stimulate antibody production and cause hypersensitivity reactions; anti-BHK antibodies not detected in principal clinical study. 1 Observe for manifestations of hypersensitivity (e.g., angioedema, chest tightness, dyspnea, hypotension, wheezing, urticaria, pruritus, anaphylaxis). 1 If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, immediately discontinue drug and initiate appropriate therapy. 1 Specific Populations Pregnancy Category C. 1 Lactation Not known whether distributed into human milk; use with caution. 1 Pediatric Use Safety and efficacy not established in pediatric patients. 1 Acquired hemophilia A occurs very rarely in children. 10 Geriatric Use No overall differences in efficacy and safety observed between geriatric patients 65 years of age and younger adults in principal clinical study; however, small number of patients in this age group precludes definitive conclusions. 1 Common Adverse Effects Development of inhibitors to porcine factor VIII. 1 Obizur Pharmacokinetics Formal pharmacokinetic studies not conducted. 3 Stability Storage Parenteral Powder for Injection 2 8 C in original package to protect from light; do not freeze. 1 Store reconstituted solution at room temperature prior to administration; use within 3 hours of reconstitution. 1 Actions Biosynthetic (recombinant DNA origin) preparation of B domain-deleted porcine coagulation factor VIII. 1 14 15 Structurally and functionally similar to endogenous human factor VIII. 1 14 15 Patients with acquired hemophilia A have a functional deficiency of factor VIII due to the development of autoantibodies (inhibitors) against the coagulation factor, resulting in a hemorrhagic tendency. 1 5 6 7 8 9 15 Typical bleeding pattern includes bleeding into skin, muscles, soft tissues, and/or mucous membranes; hemarthrosis occurs less frequently, unlike in patients with congenital hemophilia A. 5 6 7 8 Antihemophilic factor (recombinant), porcine sequence therapy temporarily replaces the inhibited factor VIII required for effective hemostasis in patients with acquired hemophilia A. 1 Reduced cross-reactivity (about 5 10%) to human factor VIII inhibitors enables the drug to function effectively in the presence of autoantibodies to factor VIII. 3 6 7 8 14 15 Produced by recombinant DNA technology in a BHK cell line; undergoes a series of purification and viral inactivation/removal processes (e.g., solvent/detergent treatment, nanofiltration). 1 3 15 Final preparation is free of additives of human or animal origin. 1 Advice to Patients Importance of advising patients to report to their clinician any adverse reactions or other issues following administration of antihemophilic factor (recombinant), porcine sequence. 1 Importance of informing clinician of existing or contemplated concomitant therapy, including prescription and OTC drugs, as well as any concomitant illnesses. 1 Importance of women informing their clinician if they are or plan to become pregnant or plan to breast-feed. 1 Importance of informing patients of other important precautionary information. 1 (See Cautions.)
