Recombinant factor VIIa also known as eptacog alfa (INN), and sold under the brand name NovoSeven among others, is a form of blood factor VII that has been manufactured via recombinant technology. It is administered intravenously (IV). Medical uses
NovoSeven is approved for use in the United States and is indicated for the treatment of bleeding episodes and for the prevention of bleeding in surgical interventions or invasive procedures in patients with acquired hemophilia.NovoSeven RT is approved in the United States and is indicated for the treatment of bleeding episodes and peri-operative management in adults and children with hemophilia A or B with inhibitors, congenital Factor VII (FVII) deficiency, and Glanzmanns thrombasthenia with refractoriness to platelet transfusions, with or without antibodies to platelets and for the treatment of bleeding episodes and peri-operative management in adults with acquired hemophilia.Sevenfact [coagulation factor VIIa (recombinant)-jncw] is approved for use in the United States and is indicated for the treatment and control of bleeding episodes occurring in adults and adolescents twelve years of age and older with hemophilia A or B with inhibitors (neutralizing antibodies).As of 2012, recombinant factor VIIa is not supported by the evidence for treating most cases of major bleeding. There is a significant risk of arterial thrombosis with its use and thus, other than in those with factor VII deficiency, it should only be given in clinical trials.
