How Xyntha is Different

Get to know the state-of-the-art manufacturing and innovations in purification
that were designed to reduce the risk of viral contamination.

Completly albumin-free from the start

XYNTHA is created with no albumin. What's more, XYNTHA is completely albumin-free from start to finish.

XYNTHA goes through several initial purification steps.

2 state-of-the-art steps for viral safety

Only XYNTHA uses a man-made molecule called a synthetic ligand (instead of molecules taken from humans or animals).

XYNTHA is the only recombinant factor VIII product that goes through nanofiltration. This process uses a tiny filter.

What Is XYNTHA?

Xyntha® Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), Plasma/Albumin-Free is indicated for the control and prevention of bleeding episodes in patients with hemophilia A (congenital factor VIII deficiency or classic hemophilia) and for surgical prophylaxis in patients with hemophilia A.

XYNTHA does not contain von Willebrand factor and, therefore, is not indicated in von Willebrand's disease.

Important Safety Information for XYNTHA

  • Allergic reactions are possible with XYNTHA. Signs of an allergic reaction may include hives, rash with itching, chest tightness, difficulty breathing, faintness, or fast heartbeat. XYNTHA contains trace amounts of hamster protein. You may develop an allergic reaction to these proteins. Tell your doctor if you have had an allergic reaction to hamster protein.
  • Call your doctor right away if bleeding is not controlled after using your factor VIII replacement therapy; this may be a sign of an inhibitor. Inhibitors have been observed in patients receiving factor VIII products, including XYNTHA.
  • The most common adverse reaction in study 1 (safety and efficacy study) is headache (24% of subjects) and in study 2 (surgery study) is fever (41% of subjects). Other common side effects of XYNTHA include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or weakness.
  • XYNTHA is an injectable medicine administered by intravenous (IV) infusion.
