Considerations for choosing an appropriate factor product
More frequent dosing may provide higher factor levels1
Depending on patients' needs and lifestyles, continuing with or switching to an SHL factor product may represent an appropriate option.1
Higher factor levels and more frequent peaks may be needed for some patients.1
The importance of peak and trough levels in hemophilia patients is still not clearly understood. However, studies suggest that higher trough levels and greater area under the curve may correlate to fewer bleeds, especially in the joints2
On-the-move adult
A 36-year-old patient with severe
hemophilia B. A university administrator who travels often and loves playing outdoors with his children.
Treatment
Mahesh is currently on prophylaxis with BeneFIX® at a dose of 40 IU/kg every 3 to 4 days. He has experienced occasional joint pain and expects the dosing to be flexible and to consistently protect his joints.
He wants to consult his haematologist about increasing his dose as he is keen to avoid joint bleeds.
These patients may be doing everyday activities such as commuting to work, playing with their children or going for a walk. Patients who plan to engage in certain physical activities may benefit from higher levels and more frequent peaks.1

Informed decisions may lead to more favourable outcomes.1,3
To help ensure that patients are actively involved in creating their treatment plan, consider discussing the following points to help determine if an SHL or an EHL is more appropriate:
*A target joint is a joint in which 3 or more spontaneous bleeds occurred within a consecutive 6-month period.9
EHL, extended half-life; FIX, factor IX; PK, pharmacokinetics; SHL, standard half-life.
