Pharmacology

Indication

May be administered in cases of uncontrolled bleeding. Factor VII alone can be used in the treatment of congenital hemophilia A or B, acquired hemophilia, congenital factor VII deficiency, and Glanzmann's thrombasthenia. Off label use in the treatment of refractory bleeding after cardiac surgery and warfarin related intracerebral hemorrhage. Brands for human factor VII are currently only in combination with other vitamin K coagulation factors and can be used to reverse vitamin K antagonist activity in patients with acute major bleeds or for urgent surgery/invasive procedures.

Pharmacodynamics

Human Factor VII complexes with tissue factor resulting in its activation to VIIa. It is the activated Factor VIIa that then binds to Factor X activating it to Factor Xa, as well as coagulation Factor IX is activated to Factor IXa. Factor Xa continues the coagulation cascade to eventually convert prothrombin to thrombin, which leads to the formation of a clot by converting fibrinogen to fibrin.

Mechanism of action

Factor VII is required in the extrinsic clotting cascade. When there is vascular damage tissue factor (TF) is released which then interacts with Factor VII resulting in the formation of the activated complex VIIa. Factor VIIa then continues to activate coagulation factors in the cascade until a clot is formed.
