His life is real. Give him real protection.


Real efficacy in routine prophylaxis and on-demand treatment

  • Real joint protection when used as routine prophylaxis in children (0-16years) with no preexisting joint damage 1, 2
  • 92.7% of bleeding episodes in PTPs managed with 1 to 2 infusions1†
  • 88.1% of bleeding episodes in PUPs and MTPs managed with 1 to 2 infusions1**

Real safety is multidimensional

  • The most serious adverse reactions are systemic hypersensitivity reactions and the development of hightiter inhibitors necessitating alternative treatments to AHF. The most common adverse reactions observed in clinical trials were:
    • Inhibitor formation in previously untreated or minimally treated patients
    • Skin-associated hypersensitivity reactions
    • Infusion site reactions
    • Central venous access device (CVAD) line-associated infections
  • State of the art manufacturing process
  • Low inhibitor rate formation in clinical studies*
  • Exclusive tamper-evident/anticounterfeiting packaging features

For important risk and use information, please see the full prescribing information.

Real life demands convenience

  • BIO-SET® self-contained needleless rFVIII reconstitution system
  • One of the smallest diluent volumes available
    • 2.5 mL for 250 IU, 500 IU, and 1000 IU product sizes
    • 5.0 mL for 2000 IU and 3000 IU product sizes
  • Grab & Go packaging—compact and convenient

 

* No FVIII inhibitors developed in 72 PTPs who received Kogenate FS for up to 54 exposure months. In trials with PUPs and MTPs, 88% of patients (53 of 60) achieved 20 or more exposure days, and the incidence of inhibitor formation (15%) is consistent with that observed in other pediatric studies using FVIII products.3 In the pediatric prophylaxis clinical trials, de novo inhibitor development was observed in 8 of 64 patients with negative baseline values (12.5%) ; 2 patients developed high-titer inhibitors and were withdrawn from the study.1 For important risk and use information, please see the full prescribing information.

During clinical trials with previously treated patients; n=5684 mild, moderate or severe bleeding episodes.
**During clinical trials with previously untreated or minimally treated patients; n=1047 mild, moderate or severe bleeding episodes.
