Nuwiq
All patients receiving Nuwiq (recombinant FVIII). Nuwiq will be administered intravenously in accordance with the relevant prescribing information. Treatment will be repeated as necessary every 8-24 hours until adequate wound healing, then - if required - for at least another 7 days to maintain FVIII plasma levels of 30-60 IU/dL.
  • Drug: Nuwiq
    Nuwiq is a purified B-domain-deleted FVIII glycoprotein synthesised by a genetically engineered human embryonic kidney cell line (HEK 293F).

Detailed Description

Female patients with mild to moderate haemophilia A will often need FVIII concentrates to provide haemostatic cover during major surgery. This prospective, open-label, non-controlled, single-arm, multinational, multicentre study aims to evaluate the overall perioperative haemostatic efficacy of Nuwiq in women/girls over 12 with haemophilia A undergoing major surgery requiring FVIII treatment
