Replacing deficient factor (F) VIII or FIX is the most common treatment strategy for
congenital hemophilia; however, repeated infusions can promote the formation of FVIII
or FIX inhibitors. Importantly, the appearance of these inhibitors significantly reduces
the hemostatic effect of regular FVIII or FIX replacement [
[1]
]. Recombinant activated FVII (rFVIIa) and activated prothrombin complex concentrates
(APCC) are used for hemostatic management in patients having hemophilia with inhibitors
(PHwI). Additionally, the plasma-derived FVIIa (pdFVIIa) and FX mixture (FVIIa/FX;
Byclot®, KM Biologics Co., Ltd., Kumamoto, Japan) comprising FVIIa and FX in a weight
ratio of 1:10 that enhanced the hemostatic effect of FVIIa was approved in Japan for
the episodic and prophylactic treatment of patients with PHwI. The recommended doses
of FVIIa/FX for hemostatic control ranged from 60 to 120 μg/kg (FVIIa concentration),
and the plasma concentration (Cmax) of FVIIa and FX can increase to 1.2–1.8 μg/mL and 17.3–29.7 μg/mL, respectively
