Efficacy & Safety
Factor VIII Threshold
Efficacy & safety
Patient demand and expectation has transformed over the decades
Different patients have different needs – and require treatment targeted at different FVIII threshold levels4
| Patient Need | Sedentary lifestyle | Mild risk activity | Moderate risk activity | High risk activity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Treatment Threshold (%) | 1 | 3 | 5 | 10+ |
Adapted from lorio et al. 20174
Until the mid-1970s, patients were often advised to avoid physical activity1
We now know that being able to participate in physical activity is important to patients and improves joint stability2,3
While patient-bleeding phenotype will be influential, it’s generally accepted that today’s prophylaxis goal is to keep rFVIII levels as HIGH as possible for as long as possible4,5,6
