Production processes of licensed recombinant factor VIII preparations.

چکیده
The state-of-the-art treatment for hemophilia A is replacement therapy with recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII) made possible by genetic engineering advances. Currently, there are four different products licensed and available for hemophilia A patients. All are produced by recombinant mammalian cells in large-scale fermenter cultures, purified to high purity, formulated in stable formulations and freeze dried. The first-generation products Recombinate and Kogenate (also sold as Helixate by Aventis) are characterized as full-length human factor VIII molecules and formulated using human serum albumin as a stabilizer. The second-generation product ReFacto contains an improved albumin-free sucrose formulation and incorporates advanced antiviral safety procedures in the manufacturing process. It is a truncated B region-deleted form of factor VIII (FVIII) that makes use of a nonhuman peptide linker 14 amino acids in length to connect the 80 and 90 kD subunits. The most recently licensed rFVIII product is the second-generation Kogenate product called KOGENATE Bayer/Kogenate FS, which combines the advantages of the human full-length FVIII molecule with an albumin-free, sucrose-based synthetic formulation as well as an improved viral safety profile. In this article, the manufacturing processes for each of the four different products are discussed in detail, focusing on expression systems and cell lines, culture medium, technical culture systems, purification process (including viral removal potential), and final formulation.

Recombinant clotting factor VIII concentrates: Heterogeneity and high-purity evaluation.
Factor VIII is an important glycoprotein involved in hemostasis. Insertion of expression vectors containing either the full-length cDNA sequence of human factor VIII (FLrFVIII) or B-domain deleted (BDDrFVIII) into mammalian cell lines results in the production of recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII) for therapeutic usage. Three commercially available rFVIII concentrates (Advate, Helixate NexGen and...

Background: Considering the increasing number of patients with hemophilia and infrastructure requirements for a comprehensive approach, development of a recombinant factor has become a milestone. The objective of this study was to assess the safety, efficacy and non inferiority of Safacto (Recombinant factor VIII) compared with plasma-derived factor in the treatment of hemophilia A. Methods: 10 ...
متن کاملDetection of Factor VIII Inhibitors in Hemophilia A Patients
Background: Factor VIII administration to hemophilia A patients results in an immune response (inhibitor formation) which significantly complicates the therapy. The present study was performed to determine the prevalence of inhibitor development in hemophilia A patients receiving recombinant factor VIII therapy. Materials and Methods: This was an observational descriptive study. Clotting fac...
متن کاملComparison of the immunogenicity of different therapeutic preparations of human factor VIII in the murine model of hemophilia A.
Von Willebrand factor (VWF) has been proposed to reduce the immunogenicity of therapeutic factor VIII (FVIII) in patients with hemophilia A. Using FVIII-deficient mice, we compared the immunogenicity of different preparations of plasma-derived (pd) and recombinant (r) FVIII. Treatment of mice with pdFVIII induced significantly lower titers of FVIII inhibitors, as measured by ELISA and in vitro ...
