For on-demand bleed control, surgery, and routine prophylaxis in adults and children with hemophilia A.
An rFVIII designed for portability
For patients with hemophilia A, disease management often depends on choosing a treatment that fits into their daily lives.
Novoeight® and Esperoct® are the ONLY rFVIII with stability up to 104 ˚F for up to 3 months.1-12,c
cCompared with other selected rFVIII SHL and EHL products.

With one proven starting prophylactic dose, Esperoct® [antihemophilic factor (recombinant), glycopegylated-exei] can deliver high trough levels and a low median ABR for adolescent and adult patients.7,d

ABR=annualized bleed rate.
dIn a phase 3, open-label study, safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of Esperoct® were evaluated in PTPs aged ≥12 years with severe hemophilia A. Single-dose PK studies were performed in 42 adults after receiving Esperoct® 50 IU/kg; 175 PTPs received routine prophylaxis (50 IU/kg Q4D) for 76 weeks and 12 adults elected to be treated on demand during the main phase. Treatment-requiring bleeds were reported by patients through diaries. Mean trough levels for adults (age ≥18 years) were 3.0 IU/dL and for adolescents (12 to less than 18 years) were 2.7 IU/dL.7,13
Important Safety Information for Novoeight®
Contraindications
- Do not use in patients who have had life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, to Novoeight® or its components, including hamster proteins
Warnings and Precautions
- Anaphylaxis and severe hypersensitivity reactions are possible. Patients may develop hypersensitivity to hamster proteins, which are present in trace amounts in the product. Should symptoms occur, discontinue Novoeight® and administer appropriate treatment
- Development of activity-neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) may occur. Previously untreated patients (PUPs) are at greatest risk for inhibitor development with all factor VIII products. Inhibitors have been reported following administration of Novoeight® in PUPs. If expected plasma factor VIII activity levels are not attained, or if bleeding is not controlled with an appropriate dose, perform testing for factor VIII inhibitors
Adverse Reactions
- The most frequently reported adverse reactions (≥1%) were inhibitors in Previously Untreated Patients (PUPs), injection site reactions, and pyrexia.

Indications and Usage
Novoeight® (antihemophilic factor, recombinant) is indicated for use in adults and children with hemophilia A for on-demand treatment and control of bleeding episodes, perioperative management, and routine prophylaxis to reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes.
- Novoeight® is not indicated for the treatment of von Willebrand disease
Important Safety Information for Esperoct®
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
- Development of neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) has occurred. Perform an assay that measures Factor VIII inhibitor concentration if bleeding is not controlled with the recommended dose of Esperoct® or if the expected plasma Factor VIII activity levels are not attained
- Temporary decrease in Factor VIII incremental recovery (IR) has been observed after Esperoct® infusion, within the first 5 exposure days, in previously untreated patients (PUPs) <6 years of age. During the decreased IR period, these subjects may have an increased bleeding tendency. If bleeding is not controlled with the recommended dose of Esperoct® and/or the expected Factor VIII activity levels are not attained and Factor VIII inhibitors are not detected, consider adjusting the dose, dosing frequency, or discontinuing Esperoct®
Adverse Reactions
- The most frequently reported adverse reactions in clinical trials (≥1%) were rash, redness, itching (pruritus), and injection site reactions. Additional frequently reported adverse reactions (≥1%) in PUPs included Factor VIII inhibition and hypersensitivity.
