About This Medication
11 DESCRIPTION ALTUVIIIO [antihemophilic factor (recombinant), Fc-VWF-XTEN fusion protein-ehtl] is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, white to off-white lyophilized powder for reconstitution for intravenous injection. The product is supplied in single-dose vials containing nominal potencies of 250, 500, 750, 1000, 2000, 3000, or 4000 international units (IU). Each vial of ALTUVIIIO is labeled with the actual Factor VIII activity content in IU. The powder for injection is reconstituted with 3 mL sterile water for injection (sWFI) supplied in a sterile prefilled syringe. The reconstituted solution should be essentially free of particles. The final product contains the excipients: arginine hydrochloride (250 mM), calcium chloride dihydrate (5 mM), histidine (10 mM), polysorbate 80 (0.05% w/v), and sucrose (5% w/v). The active ingredient in ALTUVIIIO is a fully recombinant fusion protein comprising a single chain B-domain deleted (BDD) analogue of human FVIII covalently fused to the Fc domain of human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1), the FVIII-binding D'D3 domain of human von Willebrand factor (VWF), and 2 XTEN polypeptides. ALTUVIIIO contains 2829 amino acids with an apparent molecular weight of 312 kDa. ALTUVIIIO is synthesized as 2 polypeptide chains which are covalently linked by 2 Fc hinge disulfide bonds. The first FVIII-XTEN-Fc polypeptide chain contains the A1A2 domain of FVIII along with 5 amino acids from B-domain (1–745 amino acids) fused to the 288-XTEN polypeptide (in place of the natural FVIII B-domain), the A3C1C2 domain of FVIII (1649–2332), and the Fc domain of human IgG1. The second VWF-XTEN-a2-Fc polypeptide chain contains the D'D3 domain of VWF (1–477 amino acids) fused to the 144-XTEN polypeptide, a thrombin cleavable acidic region 2 sequence from FVIII and the Fc domain of human IgG1. The Fc domain includes the hinge, CH 2 , and CH 3 domains of IgG1. The Fc, VWF, and XTEN polypeptide portions of the molecule extend the half-life of ALTUVIIIO in plasma. ALTUVIIIO is produced by recombinant DNA technology in a human embryonic kidney (HEK) cell line, which has been extensively characterized. ALTUVIIIO is manufactured without addition of human- or animal-derived components and purified by a combination of multiple chromatography steps, a detergent or solvent/detergent viral inactivation step, a nano filtration step for viral clearance, and ultrafiltration steps.

Advertências e Precauções
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have occurred with ALTUVIIIO. If symptoms occur, immediately discontinue ALTUVIIIO and initiate appropriate treatment. ( 5.1 ) Neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) to Factor VIII have been reported. If expected plasma Factor VIII activity levels are not attained, or if bleeding is not controlled with an appropriate dose, perform an assay that measures Factor VIII inhibitor concentration. ( 5.2 , 5.3 ) 5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have occurred with ALTUVIIIO [see Postmarketing Experience (6.2) ] . Signs and symptoms include, but not limited to, hives, shortness of breath, chest tightness, wheezing, hypotension, nausea, vomiting, and itching. Discontinue ALTUVIIIO if hypersensitivity reaction occurs and manage symptoms as appropriate. 5.2 Neutralizing Antibodies Formation of neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) to Factor VIII has been reported following administration of ALTUVIIIO [see Postmarketing Experience (6.2) ] . Monitor all patients for the development of Factor VIII inhibitors by appropriate clinical observations and laboratory tests. If the patient's plasma Factor VIII level fails to increase as expected or if bleeding is not controlled after ALTUVIIIO administration, the presence of an inhibitor (neutralizing antibodies) should be suspected, and appropriate testing performed [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . 5.3 Monitoring Laboratory Tests If assessment of plasma Factor VIII activity is needed, it is recommended to use a validated one-stage clotting assay [see Dosage and Administration (2) ] . The ALTUVIIIO Factor VIII activity level is overestimated by the chromogenic assay and a specific ellagic acid based aPTT reagent in one-stage clotting assay by approximately 2.5-fold. If these assays are used, divide the result by 2.5 to approximate the patient's ALTUVIIIO Factor VIII activity level. Use of a reference laboratory is recommended when a qualified one-stage clotting assay or chromogenic assay is not available locally. Monitor for the development of Factor VIII inhibitors. If bleeding is not controlled with ALTUVIIIO and the expected factor VIII activity plasma levels are not attained, perform an assay to determine if Factor VIII inhibitors are present (use Bethesda Units to titer inhibitors).
Contraindicações
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS ALTUVIIIO is contraindicated in patients who have had severe hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, to the product or its excipients [see Description (11) ] . Do not use in patients who have had severe hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, to ALTUVIIIO or excipients of ALTUVIIIO. ( 4 )
