    AFSTYLA®, for Haemophilia A, Receives Positive Opinion from European Medicines Agency CHMP MARBURG, Germany — 14 November 2016 CHMP positive opinion moves AFSTYLA one step closer to approval in the European Union AFSTYLA is the first and only single-chain therapy for haemophilia A. The therapy has been specifically designed for greater molecular stability and duration of action through strong affinity to von Willebrand factor (VWF) AFSTYLA has been shown to offer excellent haemostatic efficacy in both prophylaxis and on-demand treatment, and the option of twice weekly dosing with low unit consumption Global biotherapeutics leader CSL Behring announced today that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has recommended granting marketing authorisation for AFSTYLA® [Recombinant Human Coagulation Factor VIII, Single Chain] for patients with haemophilia A. AFSTYLA, CSL Behring’s novel, recombinant factor VIII therapy for adults and children, is the first and only single-chain product for haemophilia A. It is specifically designed for protection from bleeds with two or three times weekly dosing and low unit consumption at both dosing regimens. In clinical trials, AFSTYLA demonstrated a strong safety profile with no inhibitors observed in previously treated patients undergoing prophylaxis. “For 100 years, CSL has focused on researching and developing innovative therapies that meet the treatment challenges patients face,” said Dr. Andrew Cuthbertson, Chief Scientific Officer and R&D Director, CSL Limited. “CHMP’s positive opinion for AFSTYLA® moves us one step closer to bringing this novel treatment option to haemophilia A patients in the European Union. Once approved, AFSTYLA will provide adults and children with a therapy that delivers on our promise to develop and bring to market innovative specialty biotherapies that help patients live full lives.” About Haemophilia A Primarily affecting males, haemophilia A is a congenital bleeding disorder characterised by deficient or defective factor VIII.

  • (Human) Monoclate-P® Factor VIII: C Pasteurized Monoclonal Antibody Purified
    CSL Behring 1020 First Avenue PO Box 61501 King of Prussia, PA 19406-0901 Tel 610-878-4000 March 2018 Important availability information for Antihemophilic Factor (Human) Monoclate-P® Factor VIII: C Pasteurized Monoclonal Antibody Purified Dear Valued Customer: Throughout CSL Behring’s long history of providing leading hemophilia treatments, we have offered a broad portfolio of products, including Antihemophilic Factor (Human) Monoclate- P® Factor VIII:C Pasteurized Monoclonal Antibody Purified. We are writing now to keep you updated about product availability. CSL Behring has made the difficult decision to discontinue Monoclate-P and we estimate that supply will be available through December 2018, giving you time to consider your patients’ treatment options. Please note that due to expiration dating, availability of the 1500 IU vial size may be limited. We recognize that Monoclate-P has been an important part of your patients’ lives, and we remain committed to keeping you informed so you can appropriately advise them. We also want to share the rationale behind this decision. As hemophilia A treatment has advanced, and patients have transitioned from plasma-derived to recombinant and longer-acting therapies, it has been increasingly difficult to sustain the production and distribution of Monoclate-P. We encourage your Monoclate-P patients to speak with their physician regarding treatment options. As a patient-focused company, CSL Behring strives to create innovative therapies for the hemophilia community. That’s why we will continue to offer two therapies, AFSTYLA®, Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), Single Chain, a next-generation Factor VIII therapy, and plasma-derived Antihemophilic Factor/von Willebrand Factor Complex (Human), Humate-P®.
