WHAT IMMUNATE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT IMMUNATE IS
Immunate is a coagulation factor VIII / von Willebrand factor complex
made from human plasma. The
coagulation factor VIII in Immunate replaces the factor VIII which is
lacking or is not functioning
properly in haemophilia A. Haemophilia A is a sex-linked, hereditary
blood coagulation defect due to
reduced factor VIII levels. This results in severe bleeding in joints,
muscles and inner organs, either
spontaneously or as a consequence of accidental or surgical traumata.
The administration of Immunate
temporarily corrects the factor VIII deficiency and reduces the
bleeding tendency.
In addition to its role as a Factor VIII protecting protein, von
Willebrand factor (VWF) mediates platelet
adhesion to sites of vascular injury and plays a role in platelet
aggregation.
WHAT IMMUNATE IS USED FOR
Immunate is used for the treatment and prevention of bleeding in
congenital (haemophilia A) or acquired
factor VIII deficiency.
Immunate is also used for the treatment of bleeding in patients with
von Willebrand’s

1
and 190 IU human von
Willebrand factor
2
(VWF:RCo).
Immunate 250 IU FVIII/190 IU VWF contains approximately 50 IU/ml of
human coagulation factor
VIII and 38 IU/ml human von Willebrand factor after reconstitution.
The potency of factor VIII (IU) is determined using the European
Pharmacopoeia chromogenic assay.
The specific activity of Immunate is 70 ± 30 IU FVIII/mg protein
3
. The potency of VWF (IU) is
determined using the European Pharmacopoeia ristocetin co-factor assay
(VWF:RCo).
Produced from the plasma of human donors.
Excipient(s) with known effect
Sodium (9.8 mg per vial).

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Treatment and prophylaxis of bleeding in patients with congenital
(haemophilia A) or acquired factor
VIII deficiency.
Treatment of bleeding in patients with von Willebrand's disease with
factor VIII deficiency, if no
specific preparation effective against von Willebrand’s disease is
available, and when desmopressin
(DDAVP) treatment alone is ineffective or contra-indicated.
1
The FVIII potency was determined against the WHO International
Standard for FVIII Concentrates.
2
The ristocetin cofactor activity of human von Willebrand factor was
determined against the WHO International Standard for
von Willebrand Factor, Concentrate.
3
Without stabilizer (albumin), the maximum specific activity at a 1:1
ratio of factor VIII activity to von Willebrand factor-antigen
is 100 IU factor VIII per mg protein.
