Rurioctocog alfa (recombinant factor VIII: Advate) is available for the control of bleeding in patients with hemophilia A in Japan. To evaluate the inhibitor development, safety, and efficacy of rurioctocog alfa, a non-interventional and observational postmarketing surveillance was conducted on 352 previously treated Japanese patients aged 1-76 years with ≥ 4 exposure days under the conditions of routine clinical practice. A post-hoc comparison of the mean annualized bleeding rates which required treatment with rurioctocog alfa detected a statistically significant difference (P < 0.

To evaluate the immunogenicity, safety, and efficacy of prophylactic and on-demand use of rurioctocog alfa, postmarketing surveillance was conducted on 114 previously untreated Japanese patients aged 0-82 years with ≤ 3 exposure days under the conditions of routine clinical practice. A post-hoc comparison of mean annualized bleeding rates between patients in the regular prophylaxis group (7.

To evaluate the perioperative safety and hemostatic efficacy of Advate, a postmarketing surveillance was conducted in Japanese patients undergoing surgery in a real-world setting. A total of 74 surgical procedures performed in 58 subjects aged 0-75 years, including three females, were studied.

A global multicenter phase 2/3 study of the product in 137 patients (including 11 patients from Japan) with severe hemophilia A aged 12-65 years, reported an extended half-life and a good tolerability profile, as well as a significantly lower annualized bleeding rate in the prophylactic treatment arm than in the on-demand treatment arm. Using descriptive statistics, a post hoc analysis was performed to compare the pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy profiles of the product in the Japanese subpopulation and the overall population.
