| Description | Intravenous susoctocog alfa is a recombinant, B-domain deleted, porcine sequence antihaemophilic factor VIII (FVIII) product that has recently been approved for the treatment of bleeding episodes in adults with acquired haemophilia A (AHA). |
| Indication/Disease | For the treatment of Haemophilia A |
| Pharmacodynamics | Immediately after release in the patient’s circulation, Factor VIII binds to von Willebrand factor (vWF). The Factor VIII/von Willebrand factor complex consists of two molecules (Factor VIII and von Willebrand factor) with different physiological functions. Activated Factor VIII acts as a co-factor for activated Factor IX, accelerating the conversion of Factor X to activated Factor X, which ultimately converts prothrombin into thrombin. Thrombin then converts fibrinogen into fibrin and a clot can be formed. |
