Rurioctocog alfa pegol is a pegylated recombinant human coagulation factor VIII used to treat and prevent bleeding episodes in patients 12 years and above with hemophilia A. Factor VIII is an essential protein involved in normal blood clotting; thus, a deficient level of functional factor VIII is associated with an elevated risk for excessive bleeding caused by spontaneous or secondary events like...
- Mechanism
- Curator reviewed · 4 references
Factor VIII plays an essential role in the intrinsic pathway of the blood coagulation cascade: as a cofactor for activated factor IX (FIXa), factor VIII significantly facilitates the conversion of FIXa-mediated transformation of inactive factor X (FX) to its active form (FXa). FXa then promotes the conversion of prothrombin into thrombin, a key serine protease of the coagulation cascade. Proper blood clotting cannot be achieved with the deficient levels of factor VIII, leading to increased excessive bleeding spontaneously or as a result of accidental or surgical trauma. Hemophilia A is an X-chromosomal linked hereditary disorder of blood coagulation due to defects in the F8C gene that encodes coagulation factor VIII, leading to decreased production of functional factor VIII.
Rurioctocog alfa pegol is a pegylated recombinant human factor VIII that aims to restore the plasma levels and hemostatic activity of functional factor VIII. It can be used for both prophylactic or on-demand treatment of bleeding episodes associated with hemophilia A.
