AFSTYLA[® ] (rFVIII), for Haemophilia A, receives European Commission Approval

CSL Limited (ASX:CSL; USOTC:CSLLY) - CSL today announced that the European Commission has granted marketing authorisation for CSL Behring’s AFSTYLA[®] [Recombinant Human Coagulation Factor VIII, Single Chain] for children and adults with haemophilia A. AFSTYLA, CSL Behring’s novel, recombinant factor VIII therapy, 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.

AFSTYLA is indicated for the treatment and prophylaxis of bleeding in patients with haemophilia A (congenital factor VIII deficiency). AFSTYLA can be used for all age groups.

“European Commission approval of AFSTYLA , an innovative and effective haemophilia A therapy, delivers on CSL Behring’s promise to develop and provide novel products that have the potential to improve patients’ lives,” said Dr. Andrew Cuthbertson, Chief Scientific Officer and R&D Director, CSL Limited. “We are very excited to add this treatment to our industry-leading portfolio of coagulation therapies and look forward to the positive impact AFSTYLA can have on haemophilia A patients in the European Union.”

AFSTYLA will be launched in European markets in the coming months, as market access is obtained.

Primarily affecting males, haemophilia A is a congenital bleeding disorder characterised by deficient or defective factor VIII. People with haemophilia A may experience prolonged or spontaneous bleeding, especially into the muscles, joints or internal organs. According to the World Federation of Hemophilia, about 1 in 10,000 people are born with haemophilia, the majority of whom have haemophilia A.
