Abstract

Background: Hemophilia A is an X-linked bleeding disorder that results from insufficient levels of factor VIII (FVIII) coagulant activity. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ADVATE® rAHF–PFM (Baxter Healthcare Corporation), a recombinant FVIII concentrate manufactured without human or bovine blood-derived additives, and to assess the effect of compliance with prophylactic use in preventing bleeding episodes (BEs). Methods: Clinical data were integrated from six prospective studies. Two hundred thirty-four hemophilia A subjects (FVIII levels ≤ 2%) (median age 14.7 (range: 0.02 – 72.7) years) were included. Results: BEs were managed with one or two infusions and nearly all (1953/1956) responded to treatment. Compliance with a prophylactic treatment regimen significantly reduced the incidence of BEs (p = 0.0061) and prevented non-traumatic joint BEs (median annualized BE rate was 0). One previously treated subject developed an inhibitor; no other safety concerns were observed. Conclusions: These results reinforce the efficacy and safety of rAHF-PFM and suggest that compliance is an essential contributor to the effectiveness of prophylaxis in the treatment of hemophilia A.
