Esperoct® is an extended half-life (EHL) factor 8 treatment—that means it is designed to stay in the body longer, up to 22 hours on average in adults with hemophilia A, so it can be taken less often than standard half-life treatment.b Esperoct® can be used as prophylaxis or on demand, depending on what you and your doctor decide fits your life and your needs.
aPrior to reconstitution, Esperoct® can be stored from 36 °F to 46 °F for up to 30 months, at room temperature up to 86 °F for up to 12 months, or up to 104 °F for up to 3 months. See Prescribing Information for complete product storage information.
bData shown are from 42 adults who received a pharmacokinetic assessment after a single dose of Esperoct® 50 IU/kg.

I can just throw it in my backpack and go and then if I need to stop and infuse, I can do that.”
– Tammy has hemophilia A and uses Esperoct®
1.2 median overall bleeds per year for adults and adolescents 12 to 70 years old for 76 weeks (n=175)c
In a clinical trial of Esperoct®, 97% of all bleeds were controlled with 1 to 2 dosese
cData shown are from the main phase study of 175 previously treated males aged 12 and older with severe hemophilia A who received Esperoct® 50 IU/kg every 4 days for 76 weeks.
dMedian annualized bleeding rate shown is from the main and extension phases of the pivotal clinical trial of previously treated males aged ≥12 years with severe hemophilia A who received Esperoct® 50 IU/kg every 4 days for up to 6.6 years.
eData shown are from a study where 12 adult and adolescent PTPs with severe hemophilia chose to be treated on demand and received Esperoct® for 532 bleeding episodes.

Quick administration? Yes, please!
Preparing an infusion is fast:

After reconstitution, Esperoct® can be used for up to 4 HOURS at up to 86 °F
OR
Stored in a refrigerator between
36 °F and 46 °F for up to 24 HOURS
Esperoct® was studied in an extensive long-term clinical trial program for hemophilia A
Studied in 1 of the largest and longest clinical trial programs with 270 previously treated patients for more than 105,000 infusion days
fAn 18-year-old African American male developed an inhibitor after 93 infusion days of Esperoct®. The inhibitor rose to 13.5 Bethesda units and the patient stopped participation in the study. There was no change in efficacy, and the inhibitor eventually went away on its own (without use of immune tolerance induction therapy).
