Review, Journal: BAY 81-8973, a full-length recombinant factor VIII for the treatment of hemophilia A: product review. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 19, 2018 Either the one-stage or the chromogenic assay provides accurate measurements for postinfusion monitoring of BAY 81-8973 levels, with no product-specific calibration standard needed. The incidence of treatment-related adverse events was ⩽7% across all LEOPOLD studies, and no previously treated patient developed anti-BAY 81-8973 inhibitors in the completed primary studies.

This review provides a historical overview of rFVIII development with a focus on Bayer's rFVIII (with albumin) and sucrose-formulated rFVIII (rFVIII-FS), the only rFVIII products cloned in baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells with >25 years of proven safety and efficacy...Innovative products with new treatment potentials (eg, BAY 81-8973 and BAY 94-9027) built on this established safety and efficacy profile are also briefly discussed...The net effects have been joint health preservation, reduction in morbidity and mortality, and quality-of-life enhancements. Current treatment challenges include lack of adherence to prophylaxis and inhibitor development; extended-half-life rFVIII products and non-FVIII replacement therapies in development may help overcome these challenges.
