The multimeric pattern of HUMATE-P has been shown to very closely resemble that of normal human plasma

Like normal human plasma (NHP), HUMATE-P contains a high percentage of HMW-VWF multimers, and can correct the hemostatic defect in patients with VWD.

multimeter comparison

Preferred

HUMATE-P is the #1 prescribed VWF/FVIII concentrate treatment.3

  • Extensive clinical experience
  • Long record of success

HUMATE-P has been studied for more than 30 years and is preferred by more physicians for their patients. In fact, it is the most prescribed von Willebrand factor/factor FVIII (VWF/FVIII) replacement therapy indicated for von Willebrand disease (VWD) in:

  • Infants
  • Children
  • Adolescents
  • Adults

Proven

HUMATE-P provides reliable hemostatic control for all VWD types.

HUMATE-P is also proven effective across multiple types of bleeds, including:

  • All bleeding episodes, including spontaneous bleeding episodes (bleeding that occurs without an obvious cause) or after an injury, such as nosebleeds4
    • 97% of patients overall (100% Type 1, 100% Type 2, 95% Type 3)
  • Trauma-induced bleeding episodes (bleeding caused by accidents or injuries)5
    • 100% of urgent surgery patients
  • Bleeding occurring before and after surgery6
    • 96% on day of surgery
    • 100% Day 2 post-surgery, 100% Day 14 post-surgery)

Purified

CSL Behring's Integrated Safety System helps the product meet high quality and safety standards, thus reducing the risk of virus transmissions. The risk of virus transmission cannot be completely eliminated.

CSL Behring is dedicated to meeting the most stringent international standards for plasma-product safety in accordance with guidelines from worldwide regulatory agencies.

The Integrated Safety System is designed to maximize virus inactivation and removal while maintaining biological integrity

HUMATE-P undergoes multiple steps during manufacturing to reduce the risk of virus transmission:

  1. Cryoprecipitation
  2. Al(OH)3 adsorption, glycine precipitation, and NaCl precipitation, studied in combination
  3. Pasteurization in aqueous solution for 10 hours at 60°C
  4. Lyophilization

The Power of Heat Treatment

This heat treatment step illustrated here has been proven to inactivate both enveloped and non-enveloped viruses.
