Keep your patients protected with one simple dose
Esperoct® is an extended half-life (EHL) rFVIII that keeps dosing simple.1
One simple dose:
65 IU/kg twice weekly—no dose adjustment needed and related PK testing required1,2

This regimen may be individually adjusted to less or more frequent dosing1
With the extended half-life of Esperoct®, your pediatric patients may need up to 43% fewer infusionsa per year compared to standard half-life dosing regimens3
Because the clearance of FVIII products may be higher in children <12 years compared to adolescents/adults, higher and more frequent dosing may be required1
a43% fewer if previously dosed every other day; 33% fewer if previously dosed 3x/week.
Esperoct® also may be dosed to achieve a specific target Factor VIII activity level, depending on the severity of hemophilia, for on-demand treatment/control of bleeding episodes, or perioperative management.
To achieve a specific target Factor VIII activity level, use the following formula: Dosage (IU) = Body Weight (kg) × Desired Factor VIII Increase (IU/dL or % normal) × 0.5
MASAC recommends prophylaxis for patients with severe hemophilia A.
MASAC recommends that prophylaxis be considered optimal therapy for individuals with severe hemophilia A (factor VIII <1%). Prophylactic therapy should be instituted early (prior to the onset of frequent bleeding), with the aim of keeping the trough FVIII level above 1% between doses.4

Important Safety Information
Contraindications
- Do not use in patients who have known hypersensitivity to Esperoct® or its components, including hamster proteins
Warnings and Precautions
- Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may occur. Should hypersensitivity reactions occur, discontinue Esperoct® and administer appropriate treatment

Adverse Reactions
- The most frequently reported adverse reactions in clinical trials (≥1%) were rash, redness, itching (pruritus), and injection site reactions
