WHAT ADVATE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
ADVATE contains the active substance octocog alfa, human coagulation
factor VIII produced by
recombinant DNA technology. Factor VIII is necessary for the blood to
form clots and stop bleedings.
In patients with haemophilia A (inborn lack of factor VIII), it is
missing or not working properly.
ADVATE is used for the treatment and prevention of bleeding in
patients of all age groups with
haemophilia A (an inherited bleeding disorder caused by lack of factor
VIII).
ADVATE is prepared without the addition of any human- or
animal-derived protein in the entire
manufacturing process.

1.
NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT
ADVATE 250 IU powder and solvent for solution for injection.
2.
QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
Each vial contains nominally 250 IU human coagulation factor VIII
(rDNA), octocog alfa. ADVATE
contains approximately 50 IU per ml of human coagulation factor VIII
(rDNA), octocog alfa after
reconstitution.
The potency (International Units) is determined using the European
Pharmacopoeia chromogenic
assay. The specific activity of ADVATE is approximately 4 520-11 300
IU/mg protein.
Octocog alfa (human coagulation factor VIII (rDNA)) is a purified
protein that has 2332 amino acids.
It is produced by recombinant DNA technology in Chinese hamster ovary
(CHO) cells. Prepared
without the addition of any (exogenous) human- or animal-derived
protein in the cell culture process,
purification or final formulation.
Excipients with known effect
This medicinal product contains 0.45 mmol sodium (10 mg) per vial.
For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1.

PHARMACEUTICAL FORM
Powder and solvent for solution for injection.
Powder: White to off-white friable powder.
Solvent: Clear and colourless solution.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Treatment and prophylaxis of bleeding in patients with haemophilia A
(congenital factor VIII
deficiency). ADVATE is indicated in all age groups.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Treatment should be initiated under the supervision of a physician
experienced in the treatment of
haemophilia and with resuscitation support immediately available in
case of anaphylaxis.
Posology
The dose and duration of the substitution therapy depend on the
severity of the factor VIII deficiency,
on the location and extent of the bleeding and on the patient’s
clinical condition.
The number of units of factor VIII is expressed in International Units
(IU), which are related to the
WHO standard for factor VIII products. Factor VIII activity in plasma
is expressed either as a
percentage (relative to nor
