CSL Behring Receives FDA Orphan Drug Designation for rVIIa-FP, a Novel Therapy in Development to Treat Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B Patients Who Have Inhibitors
Date:2/16/2012

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CSL Behring announced today that the company has been granted orphan drug designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its novel recombinant fusion protein linking coagulation factor VIIa with albumin (rVIIa-FP).

"CSL Behring's albumin fusion technology uses albumin as the ideal recombinant genetic fusion partner for coagulation factor proteins because of its high tolerability, inherently long half-life, low potential for immunogenic reactions and known mechanism of clearance," said Russell Basser, M.D., Senior Vice President, Global Clinical R&D at CSL Behring. "CSL Behring's rVIIa albumin fusion protein is expected to exhibit a good tolerability profile and improved pharmacokinetics that may enable prophylaxis. We welcome Orphan Drug Designation for our rVIIa-FP and will work closely with the FDA to make this important therapy available for people in the U.S. with hemophilia A and hemophilia B with inhibitors."

The FDA's Orphan Drug Designation program provides orphan status to unique drugs and biologics, defined as those intended for the safe and effective treatment or prevention of rare dise
