Switching clotting factor concentrates: considerations in estimating the risk of immunogenicity.

چکیده
The development of neutralizing antibodies to factor VIII (FVIII) is the most serious complication of therapy for haemophilia A. There is now excellent documentation that a large number of both genetic and environmental factors contribute to the risk of FVIII inhibitor incidence. One of the environmental factors that has been proposed as an influence on this complication is the occurrence of FVIII product switching. There are only a small number of clinical studies that have addressed this question, and thus, the amount of objective information available to assess this association is limited. In this review, in addition to summarizing past evidence pertinent to this subject, we present the results of a complementary strategy, a Delphi analysis, to add to the considerations of product switching and FVIII immunogenicity. With the imminent arrival in the clinic of several new FVIII products, the haemophilia community must be prepared to collect prospectively controlled data to better address this important management issue.

Clotting factor concentrate switching and inhibitor development in hemophilia A.
The development of alloantibodies or inhibitors is the most serious complication a patient with severe hemophilia can experience from treatment with clotting factor concentrates. Although common in previously untreated patients, inhibitor development is rare in multiply exposed, well-tolerized patients. There has been a nonevidence-based reluctance to change concentrate because of a perceived g...

متن کاملPlatelet Factor 3 Based-clotting Time Assay as a Quality Marker for Long-term Storage of Platelet Concentrates
Background: Platelets rapidly lose their qualities usually after 5 day of storage. Different standard methods have been recommended to check the quality of platelets during storage which some of them show better correlation with other quality markers during storage. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate if platelet factor 3 (PF3) assay could be an indicator of storage lesion and provide ...

Clotting factor transfusions are vital for people with diseases such as haemophilia. In the 1970s and 1980s, transfusions with pooled plasma led to a devastatingly high number of recipients becoming infected with blood-borne pathogens such as HIV and hepatitis C. This epidemic triggered the development of virus-free factor concentrates through a combination of improved donor selection and scree...
