The Effect of Fluctuating Temperature on the Stability of Turoctocog Alfa for Hemophilia A

2019

Abstract Background and objective Factor VIII (FVIII) is indicated for the prevention or treatment of bleeding in patients with hemophilia A. FVIII product stability under high and fluctuating temperatures is important, particularly for patients who reside in, or travel to, regions with high ambient temperatures, as they may remove their product from the refrigerator and return it, unused, multiple times. We evaluated the effect of variable temperature storage conditions, including up to 40 °C, on the stability of the recombinant FVIII product, turoctocog alfa. Methods Turoctocog alfa dry powder stability was assessed when moved between storage conditions of 5 °C (ambient humidity) and 40 °…
