WHAT VEYVONDI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
VEYVONDI contains the active substance vonicog alfa, which is a
recombinant human von
Willebrand factor (rVWF). It behaves in the same way as natural human
von Willebrand factor (VWF)
in the body. VWF is the carrier molecule for coagulation factor VIII
and is involved in blood clotting
making platelets stick to wounds and so helps to form a blood clot.
Lack of VWF increases the
tendency to bleed.
VEYVONDI is used to prevent and treat bleeding episodes, including
bleeding during surgery, in adult
patients (aged 18 years and older) with von Willebrand disease. It is
used when treatment with another
medicine, desmopressin, is not effective or cannot be given.
Von Willebrand disease is an inherited bleeding disorder caused by the
lack or an insufficient amount
of von Willebrand factor. In patients with the disease the blood does
not clot normally leading to a
prolonged bleeding time. Administration of von Willebrand factor (VWF)
allows for correction of von
Willebrand factor deficiency.

NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT
VEYVONDI 650 IU powder and solvent for solution for injection
VEYVONDI 1300 IU powder and solvent for solution for injection
2.
QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
VEYVONDI 650 IU powder and solvent for solution for injection
Each vial of powder contains nominally 650 International Units (IU)
vonicog alfa.
After reconstitution with the 5 mL solvent provided, VEYVONDI contains
approximately 130 IU/mL
vonicog alfa.
VEYVONDI 1300 IU powder and solvent for solution for injection
Each vial of powder contains nominally 1300 International Units (IU)
vonicog alfa.
After reconstitution with the 10 mL solvent provided, VEYVONDI
contains approximately 130 IU/mL
vonicog alfa.
The specific activity of VEYVONDI is approximately 110 IU VWF:RCo/mg
protein.
The potency of VWF (IU) is measured using the European Pharmacopeia
ristocetin cofactor activity
assay (VWF: RCo). The ristocetin cofactor activity of recombinant
human von Willebrand factor was
determined against the International Standard for von Willebrand
factor concentrate (WHO).
Vonicog alfa is a purified recombinant human von Willebrand factor
(rVWF). It is manufactured by
recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology in the Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO)
cell line without the
addition of any exogenous human-or animal-derived protein in the cell
culture process, purification or
final formulation.
The product contains only trace amounts of human recombinant
coagulation factor VIII (≤ 0.01 IU
FVIII / IU VWF: RCo) as determined using the European Pharmacopoeia
chromogenic assay for
factor VIII (FVIII).
Excipient with known effect
Each 650 IU powder vial contains 5.2 mg sodium.
Each 1300 IU powder vial contains 10.4 mg sodium.
