First Patient Screened in CSL Behring Global Phase I/III Study of Recombinant Single-Chain Factor VIII
Date:2/24/2012

protein chains – a heavy one and a light one. Under certain conditions, these chains can dissociate, resulting in the formation of separated, or "dissociated," rFVIII chains. The CSL Behring rVIII-SingleChain uses a strong, covalent bond that connects the light and heavy chains, thereby creating a single chain rFVIII.

In-house studies have shown that the molecular integrity of rVIII-SingleChain is significantly increased using the single-chain design, resulting in a homogenous product that is more stable than currently available FVIII products. In addition, in-vitro studies have shown that rVIII-SingleChain demonstrates a very strong affinity for von Willebrand factor, resulting in a faster and more efficient binding to VWF. The FVIII/VWF complex plays an important role in the physiological activity and clearance of FVIII and has been shown to have an influence on the presentation of FVIII to the immune system.

The research leading to the initiation of the studies that CSL Behring is now conducting is the result of collaboration across the CSL Behring research sites in Marburg, Germany, in King of Prussia, USA, and at laboratories operated by CSL Limited in Melbourne, Australia.

About Hemophilia
Hemophilia is a congenital bleeding disorder characterized by prolonged or spontaneous bleeding, especially into the muscles, joints, or internal organs. In nearly all cases, it affects only males. The disease is caused by deficient or defective blood coagulation proteins known as factor VIII or IX. The most common form of the disease is hemophilia A, or classic hemophilia, in which the clotting factor VIII is either deficient or defective. Hemophilia B is characterized by deficient or defective factor IX. Hemophilia A affects approximately 1 in 5,000 to 10,000 people. Hemophilia B affects approximately 1 in 25,000 to 50,000 people. The recommended treatment for patients who are factor defici
