Hemophilia A: Individualize dosage based on clinical response and factor VIII activity evaluated at baseline and at regular intervals during treatment. Patients with inhibitory antibodies to factor VIII may require higher doses, more frequent administration, and/or selection of alternative therapy.
General dosing for control and prevention of bleeding episodes or perioperative management: Note: Dosage is expressed in units of factor VIII activity and must be individualized based on formulation, severity of factor VIII deficiency, extent and location of bleed, individualized incremental recovery using factor VIII activity assays, and clinical situation of patient. Product selection is age dependent.
Children and Adolescents (Adynovate, Esperoct) or Children ≥12 years and Adolescents (Jivi): IV: Utilize steps 1 through 3 to determine intermittent bolus dosing strategy. Individualize dosage based on coagulation studies performed prior to treatment and at regular intervals during treatment. In general, administration of factor VIII 1 unit/kg will increase circulating factor VIII levels by ~2 units/dL (Ref).
Step 1: Determine desired factor VIII peak level and anticipated duration of therapy based on the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) treatment recommendations; see table. These recommendations reflect WFH guidelines for higher-dose practice patterns; this dosing is typically used in areas where no significant resource constraints exist; recommendations may vary from those found within prescribing information or practitioner preference. Frequency is based on type of bleed or surgery and varies by product; see specific product labeling for details. Dosing frequency most commonly corresponds to the half-life of factor VIII but should be determined based on an assessment of factor VIII levels (if available) before the next dose (Ref).

Step 2: Calculate dose using desired peak factor VIII level from step 1 and the following equation:
Formula for units required to raise blood level:
Factor VIII units required = ([desired peak factor VIII level − patient's baseline factor VIII level] × body weight [kg])/2
Example for 25 kg patient with a desired peak factor VIII level of 35 units/dL and baseline factor VIII level of 5 units/dL:
Factor VIII units required = (35 units/dL − 5 units/dL) × 25 kg/2 = 375 units of factor VIII
Note: Factor VIII level units are units/dL.
Step 3: Determine the frequency of repeat dosing based on half-life of product used (see product-specific labeling for details), type of bleed or surgery, and patient response. If subsequent factor VIII levels are available for individual patients these should be taken into consideration when determining the frequency of repeat dose.

Routine prophylaxis to reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes: Note: Maintain trough factor VIII levels >3% to 5% or higher as clinically indicated based on level of activity, lifestyle, and pharmacokinetics. Dose escalation should be considered for patients adherent to prescribed prophylaxis but still experiencing breakthrough bleeding events (Ref).
Product-specific dosing:
Adynovate:
Children <12 years: IV: 55 units/kg/dose twice weekly; adjust dose and dosing interval based on clinical response; maximum dose: 70 units/kg/dose.
Children ≥12 years and Adolescents: IV: 40 to 50 units/kg/dose twice weekly; adjust dose based on clinical response.
Esperoct:
Children <12 years: IV: 65 units/kg/dose twice weekly; adjust dose and dosing interval based on clinical response.
Children ≥12 years and Adolescents: IV: 50 units/kg/dose every 4 days; adjust dose and dosing interval based on clinical response.
Jivi: Children ≥12 years and Adolescents: IV: 30 to 40 units/kg/dose twice weekly; based on bleeding episodes, the dose may be adjusted to 45 to 60 units/kg/dose every 5 days, then may be further adjusted to less or more frequent dosing based on clinical response.

Hemophilia A, without inhibitors:
Treatment and control of bleeding episodes or perioperative management:
Intermittent IV bolus dosing: IV: Utilize steps 1 to 3 to determine intermittent bolus dosing strategy. Individualize dosage based on coagulation studies performed prior to treatment and at regular intervals during treatment. In general, administration of factor VIII 1 unit/kg will increase circulating factor VIII levels by ~2 units/dL (Ref).
Step 1: Determine desired factor VIII peak level and anticipated duration of therapy based on the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) treatment recommendations; see table. Selection of the lower-dose practice pattern requires closer observation with the potential for requiring escalation to higher doses based on clinical response.
Note: For patients without inhibitors and receiving emicizumab who experience breakthrough bleeding, antihemophilic factor (recombinant [pegylated]) should be dosed to target the desired peak factor VIII levels outlined in the table as emicizumab is not indicated for treatment of bleeding episodes.

Step 2: Calculate dose using desired peak factor VIII level from step 1 and the following equation:
Factor VIII units required = [(desired peak factor VIII level − patient's baseline factor VIII level) × body weight (kg)]/2
Note: Factor VIII level units are units/dL.
Example for 50 kg patient with desired peak factor VIII level of 35 units/dL and baseline factor VIII level of 5 units/dL:
Factor VIII units required = [(35 units/dL − 5 units/dL) × 50 kg]/2 = 750 units of factor VIII
Step 3: Determine need for repeat dosing based on manufacturer's recommended frequency of repeat dosing. Note: Frequency of administration must also take into consideration subsequent factor VIII activity measurements and the clinical response.

Continuous infusion dosing (Ref) :
Note: Continuous infusion administration is preferred over intermittent bolus administration for patients requiring prolonged treatment courses (eg, postoperative management after surgery with major bleeding risk). To ensure safe and effective use, only products with extended stability information should be used. Extended stability information may not be available for all products; contact product manufacturer to obtain current recommendations. Use of a smart infusion pump with small volume infusion capability is also necessary.
IV: Administer an initial bolus to achieve the desired factor VIII level (see steps 1 and 2 under intermittent bolus dosing), then initiate continuous infusion at 2 to 4 units/kg/hour. Adjust dose based on frequent factor assays (at least daily) and calculation of factor VIII clearance at steady-state using the below equations.
Factor VIII clearance (mL/kg/hour) = (current infusion rate in units/kg/hour) divided by (measured factor VIII level in units/mL)
New infusion rate (units/kg/hour) = (factor VIII clearance in mL/kg/hour) × (desired factor VIII level in units/mL)
Note: With infusion dose increases, re-bolus should be considered to achieve target factor VIII level more quickly. See steps 1 and 2 under intermittent bolus dosing to determine re-bolus dose.
Routine prophylaxis to reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes:
Note: Preferably, dosing should be tailored to ensure trough factor VIII levels of at least 1% and ideally ≥3% to 5% are achieved, but prophylaxis targets should be tailored to individual level of activity, lifestyle, and pharmacokinetics. Dose escalation should be considered for patients adherent to prescribed prophylaxis but still experiencing breakthrough bleeding events (Ref).
Adynovate: IV: 40 to 50 units/kg/dose twice weekly; adjust dose based on clinical response.
Esperoct: IV: 50 units/kg/dose every 4 days; adjust dose based on clinical response.
Jivi: IV: 30 to 40 units/kg/dose twice weekly; adjust dose to 45 to 60 units/kg every 5 days, then may be further adjusted to less or more frequent dosing based on clinical response. Maximum dose per infusion (according to Jivi manufacturer): ~6,000 units (rounded to vial size).

Immunologic: Antibody development
Ophthalmic: Ocular hyperemia
Postmarketing: Hypersensitivity: Anaphylaxis
Hypersensitivity (eg, anaphylactic reaction) to antihemophilic factor (recombinant [pegylated]), antihemophilic factor (recombinant), mouse or hamster protein, or any component of the formulation
Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Antibody formation: Formation of antibodies (inhibitors) to factor VIII may occur; monitor patients for the development of antibodies by clinical observation and laboratory tests. Suspect factor VIII antibodies if the plasma factor VIII level does not increase as expected or if bleeding is not controlled after administration.
• Hypersensitivity reactions: Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have occurred. Angioedema, chest tightness, dyspnea, nausea, pruritus, urticaria, vomiting, and wheezing may progress to anaphylaxis. Discontinue immediately and institute appropriate treatment if hypersensitivity reactions occur.
Dosage form specific issues:
• Mouse/hamster protein: Products may contain trace amounts of mouse or hamster protein.
• Polyethylene glycol: Products contain polyethylene glycol (PEG). A clinical immune response associated with IgM anti-PEG antibodies, manifested as symptoms of acute hypersensitivity and/or loss of drug effect, has been observed (primarily in patients <6 years of age) with Jivi. In case of clinical suspicion of loss of drug effect, test for factor VIII inhibitors and factor VIII recovery. A low postinfusion factor VIII level in the absence of detectable factor VIII inhibitors likely indicates anti-PEG antibodies; discontinue Jivi and switch patients to a previously effective factor VIII product. A similar clinical immune response has not been observed with Adynovate or Esperoct.
• Polysorbate 80: May contain polysorbate 80 (also known as Tweens). Hypersensitivity reactions, usually a delayed reaction, have been reported following exposure to pharmaceutical products containing polysorbate 80 in certain individuals (Isaksson 2002; Lucente 2000; Shelley 1995). Thrombocytopenia, ascites, pulmonary deterioration, and renal and hepatic failure have been reported in premature neonates after receiving parenteral products containing polysorbate 80 (Alade 1986; CDC 1984). See manufacturer's labeling.
Other warnings/precautions:
• Dose requirements: The dosage requirement will vary in patients with factor VIII inhibitors; optimal treatment should be determined by clinical response.
Allergic-type hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis may occur; discontinue therapy immediately if urticaria, hives, hypotension, tightness of the chest, wheezing, or anaphylaxis develop; emergency treatment and resuscitative measures (eg, epinephrine, oxygen) may be needed. Clinical response to antihemophilic factor administration may vary; dosage must be individualized based on coagulation studies (performed prior to treatment and at regular intervals during treatment) and clinical response. If bleeding is not controlled with the recommended dose, determine plasma level of factor VIII and follow with a sufficient dose to achieve satisfactory clinical response. If plasma levels of factor VIII fail to increase as expected or bleeding continues, suspect the presence of an inhibitor; test as appropriate. Formation of factor VIII inhibitors (neutralizing antibodies to antihemophilic factor) may occur at any time; in general, formation of inhibitors are more common in young children with severe hemophilia during the first years of therapy, or in patients at any age who received little prior therapy with factor VIII; monitor patients appropriately (WFH [Srivastava 2020]).

Pregnant carriers of hemophilia A may have an increased bleeding risk following invasive procedures, spontaneous miscarriage, termination of pregnancy, and delivery; close surveillance is recommended. Factor VIII levels should be monitored at the first antenatal visit, once or twice during the third trimester, prior to surgical or invasive procedures, and at delivery. Although factor VIII concentrations increase in pregnant patients, factor VIII replacement is recommended if concentrations are <50 units/dL and any of the following occur: need for invasive procedures (including delivery), spontaneous miscarriage, insertion and removal of epidural catheters, or active bleeding. Hemostatic factor VIII concentrations should be maintained for at least 3 to 5 days following invasive procedures or postpartum. If a replacement product is indicated, a recombinant product is preferred (NHF 2017; RCOG [Pavord 2017]; WFH [Srivastava 2020]). Initial reports using the recombinant pegylated product have been limited to use in males (Brand 2016; Dunn 2018; Konkle 2015).
Factor VIII levels prior to and during treatment; typically during treatment of an acute bleeding event or in the perioperative setting, factor VIII levels should be measured as peaks 15 to 30 minutes after infusion to assess target level achievement (WFH [Srivastava 2020]). Note: The World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) recommends use of a chromogenic factor VIII activity assay or one-stage aPTT-based assay with a validated reagent, calibrated with a plasma standard traceable to a WHO international standard for monitoring Esperoct and Jivi; for Adynovate, WFH advises that more laboratory assay studies are required to inform recommendations about laboratory monitoring (WFH [Srivastava 2020]).
Heart rate and blood pressure before and during IV administration; signs and symptoms of bleeding, hemoglobin and hematocrit, and signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions; monitor for the development of inhibitor antibodies by clinical observations (eg, inadequate control of bleeding with adequate doses) and laboratory tests (eg, inhibitor level, Bethesda assay).
Classification of hemophilia (WFH [Srivastava 2020]):
Severe: Factor level <1% of normal.
Moderate: Factor level 1% to 5% of normal.
Mild: Factor level 5% to <40% of normal.
Factor VIII replacement, necessary for clot formation and maintenance of hemostasis, activates factor X in conjunction with activated factor IX. Activated factor X converts prothrombin to thrombin, which converts fibrinogen to fibrin, and with factor XIII forms a stable clot.
Note: Pharmacokinetic data for Adynovate are based on a single dose of 45 units/kg and plasma factor VIII activity measured by one-stage assay. Pharmacokinetic data for Esperoct are based on a single dose of 50 units/kg and plasma factor VIII activity measured by one-stage assay. Pharmacokinetic data for Jivi are based on combined data for single doses of 25 units/kg and 60 units/kg and plasma factor VIII activity measured by one-stage assay.
