| Susoctocog alfa |
Susoctocog alfa is a recombinant, B-domain deleted, porcine sequence Factor VIII. It is a glycoprotein. Acquired haemophilia is a rare bleeding disorder in which patients with normal Factor VIII genes develop inhibitory autoantibodies directed against Factor VIII. These autoantibodies neutralize circulating human Factor VIII thus creating a deficiency of available Factor VIII. Susoctocog alfa temporarily replaces the inhibited endogenous Factor VIII that is needed for effective haemostasis. |
