NovoSeven RT Coagulation Factor VIIa (Recombinant).
NovoSeven® RT is indicated for congenital hemophilia A or B with inhibitors, congenital Factor VII deficiency, Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia with refractoriness to platelets, and acquired hemophilia.
ACUTE BLEEDS
REQUIRE
URGENT ACTION
Don’t watch and wait—give your patients an on-demand agent so they can act quickly.
When unexpected bleeds happen in patients with hemophilia, prompt treatment has both short- and long-term positive impacts. Treating bleeds right away is recommended to:1
Improve efficacy
Impact the development and long-term progression of arthropathy
Reduce rebleeding
MASAC
MASAC recommends rFVIIa to treat acute bleeds in patients with hemophilia A with inhibitors on emicizumab2
NovoSeven® RT is the only treatment of its kind with a proven safety profile when used with Hemlibra®.3
No serious AEs and no cases of TMA or TE demonstrated in 3 clinical trials with use of NovoSeven® RT alone3,a
Two cases of TMA occurred in patients treating with emicizumab while receiving FEIBA® and NovoSeven® RT. Simultaneous use of NovoSeven® RT and FEIBA should be avoided4
aAs of September 2017, the analysis included bleeding episodes in the HAVEN1, HAVEN2, and HAVEN4 clinical trials for which patients with CHAwI on emicizumab prophylaxis (at the labeled dose) used rFVIIa. Initial individual dosing with rFVIIa, dosing intervals, and cumulative dosing were evaluated. All adverse events reported in each of the 3 trials, including available narratives, were assessed.3

Selected Important Safety Information
WARNING: THROMBOSIS
• Serious arterial and venous thrombotic events following administration of NovoSeven® RT have been reported
• Discuss the risks and explain the signs and symptoms of thrombotic and thromboembolic events to patients who will receive NovoSeven® RT
• Monitor patients for signs or symptoms of activation of the coagulation system and for thrombosis
Warnings and Precautions
• Serious arterial and venous thrombotic events have been reported in clinical trials and postmarketing surveillance
• Patients with congenital hemophilia receiving concomitant treatment with aPCCs (activated prothrombin complex concentrates), older patients particularly with acquired hemophilia and receiving other hemostatic agents, and patients with a history of cardiac and vascular disease may have an increased risk of developing thrombotic events

In the adept™2 clinical trial, NovoSeven® RT was 93% effective in patients with congenital hemophilia A and B with inhibitors.5,b
Real-world results reinforce early administration of NovoSeven® RT on all patients with inhibitors.
In a post-hoc analysis of SMART-7™, a large, prospective, postmarketing study of patients with CHwI, early treatment (≤1 hr) with NovoSeven® RT effectively resolved:6,c

bData from an international, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, confirmatory phase 3 trial of patients with hemophilia A or B with inhibitors (n=69). Primarily carried out in the home setting, all bleeds were treated, and each bleeding episode was randomized (3:2) to infuse either 1 to 3 doses of vatreptacog alfa (340 bleeding episodes; 80 mcg/kg) or 1 to 3 doses of NovoSeven® RT (227 bleeding episodes; 90 mcg/kg) when bleed symptoms were recognized, preferably within 2 hours of onset. Primary efficacy endpoint indicated effective bleed control defined as no additional hemostatic reaction (other than the original medication) given within 12 hours after the initial dose.5
cSMART-7™ was a prospective, observational, single-arm, open-label study conducted over the course of 5 years (patients remained in study for maximum 2 years or until 25 exposure days of ondemand rFVIIa), including 51 patients with congenital hemophilia A or B with inhibitors that monitored decreased therapeutic response treated with the room temperature–stable formulation of rFVIIa and the development of neutralizing antibodies toward FVII. Patients evaluated the status of bleeding episodes after each treatment as “bleed stopped,” “bleed slowed,” or “no change/ worsened.” Based on these evaluations, treatment was described as “effective,” “partially effective,” or “ineffective,” respectively. The analyzed data set included 482 bleeding episodes treated with rFVIIa.6
Indications and Usage
NovoSeven® RT (coagulation Factor VIIa, recombinant) is a coagulation factor indicated for:
• Treatment of bleeding episodes and perioperative management in adults and children with hemophilia A or B with inhibitors, congenital Factor VII (FVII) deficiency, and Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia with refractoriness to platelet transfusions, with or without antibodies to platelets
• Treatment of bleeding episodes and perioperative management in adults with acquired hemophilia
Important Safety Information (cont’d)
Warnings and Precautions
• Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, can occur with NovoSeven® RT. Patients with a known hypersensitivity to mouse, hamster, or bovine proteins may be at a higher risk of hypersensitivity reactions. Discontinue infusion and administer appropriate treatment when hypersensitivity reactions occur
• Factor VII deficient patients should be monitored for prothrombin time (PT) and factor VII coagulant activity (FVII:C). If FVII:C fails to reach the expected level, or PT is not corrected, or bleeding is not controlled after treatment with the recommended doses, antibody formation may be suspected and analysis for antibodies should be performed
• Laboratory coagulation parameters (PT/INR, aPTT, FVII:C) have shown no direct correlation to achieving hemostasis
Adverse Reactions
• The most common and serious adverse reactions in clinical trials are thrombotic events. Thrombotic adverse reactions following the administration of NovoSeven® RT in clinical trials occurred in 4% of patients with acquired hemophilia and 0.2% of bleeding episodes in patients with congenital hemophilia
Drug Interactions
• Thrombosis may occur if NovoSeven® RT is administered concomitantly with Coagulation Factor XIII
