Uses

ADVATE [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant)] is a recombinant antihemophilic factor indicated for use in children and adults with hemophilia A (congenital factor VIII deficiency) for:

Control and prevention of bleeding episodes.
Perioperative management.
Routine prophylaxis to prevent or reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes.

ADVATE is not indicated for the treatment of von Willebrand disease.

Other Information

ADVATE [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant)] is a purified glycoprotein consisting of 2,332 amino acids that is synthesized by a genetically engineered Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line but does not contain plasma or albumin. The CHO cell line employed in the production of ADVATE is derived from that used in the biosynthesis of RECOMBINATE [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant)]. ADVATE has been shown to be comparable to RECOMBINATE with respect to its biochemical and physicochemical properties, as well as its non-clinical in vivo pharmacology.

In culture, the CHO cell line expresses the recombinant antihemophilic factor (rAHF) into the cell culture medium. The rAHF is purified from the culture medium using a series of chromatography columns. The purification process includes an immunoaffinity chromatography step in which a monoclonal antibody directed against factor VIII is employed to selectively isolate the rAHF from the medium. The cell culture and purification processes used in the manufacture of ADVATE employ no additives of human or animal origin. The production process includes a dedicated, viral inactivation solvent-detergent treatment step. The rAHF synthesized by the CHO cells has the same biological effects on clotting as human antihemophilic factor (hAHF). Structurally the recombinant protein has a similar combination of heterogeneous heavy and light chains as found in AHF (Human).

ADVATE is formulated as a sterile, non-pyrogenic, white to off-white powder for intravenous injection. ADVATE in a single-use vial contains nominally 250, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, or 4000 International Units (IU). The product contains the following stabilizers and excipients: mannitol, trehalose, sodium chloride, histidine, Tris, calcium chloride, polysorbate 80, and glutathione. Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is co-expressed with factor VIII and helps to stabilize it in culture. The final product contains no more than 2 ng VWF/IU rAHF, which will not have any clinically relevant effect in patients with von Willebrand disease.

The product contains no preservative. When reconstituted with the provided Sterile Water for Injection, USP, the final solution contains the following stabilizers and excipients in targeted amounts:

Each ADVATE housing is labeled with the rAHF activity expressed in international units. Biological potency is determined by an in vitro assay, which employs a factor VIII concentrate standard that is referenced to a WHO international standard for factor VIII concentrates. One international unit, as defined by the WHO standard for blood coagulation factor VIII, human, is approximately equal to the level of factor VIII activity found in 1 mL of fresh pooled human plasma. The specific activity of ADVATE is 4000 to 10000 International Units per milligram of protein.
