*COAGADEX is manufactured using factor X as the reference assay factor. Kcentra and Profilnine SD are manufactured using factor IX as the reference assay factor; data are from testing of specific batches at the time the article was written.

Elevated levels of factors II, VII, and IX in the blood may be associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic complications4

Other risk factors that can contribute to thrombotic risk include:

  • Older age
  • Traumatic injury
  • Surgical intervention
  • Pregnancy
NHF MASAC 2023 recommendation: Single-factor plasma-derived factor X concentrate is the only treatment recommended for hereditary factor X deficiency. COAGADEX is the only approved single-factor treatment available.5

Austin SK, et al. Haemophilia. 2016.
A prospective, non-comparative, multicenter phase III COAGADEX pharmacokinetics (PK) study analyzing plasma factor X activity after a single 25 IU/kg bolus dose at baseline and after ≥6 months of on-demand treatment, in 10 females and 6 male subjects (n=16) aged 12–58 years with moderate or severe hereditary factor X deficiency. At each PK assessment, blood samples were taken pre-dose and at intervals of up to 144 hours post-dose.

For prophylaxis

  • Adjust dosage to clinical response and trough FX levels of at least 5 IU/dL2
  • Continue adjustment as needed to maintain FX levels appropriate for the patient and clinical response2
  • Treatment of hereditary factor X deficiency has evolved over time. As of 2021, as noted in Tarantino et al, “the goal is to return trough FX to 10–20% [IU/dL], ideally increasing FX to >40% [IU/dL], at which point patients are usually asymptomatic”9

For infants and children age 0 to <12 years7,8

  • Mean incremental recovery is lower for infants and children age 0 to <12 years, requiring higher doses of COAGADEX (as noted in the Dosing Instructions)
  • As with any patient receiving COAGADEX, adjust dosage to clinical response and trough FX levels of at least 5 IU/dL
For prophylaxis, twice-weekly dosing with COAGADEX is recommended to maintain factor X trough at levels of at least 5 IU/dL

COAGADEX Dosing Instructions2

  • Dose and duration of treatment depend on the severity of the factor X deficiency, location and extent of bleeding, and the patient’s clinical condition
  • Base dose and frequency on individual clinical response. Do not administer more than 60 IU/kg daily.

AgeInitial DoseFurther Management
0 to <12 years40 IU/kg twice weeklyMonitor trough blood levels of factor X targeting at least 5 IU/dL and adjust dosage to clinical response and trough levels. Do not exceed a peak level of 120 IU/dL
≥12 years25 IU/kg twice weekly

AgeInitial DoseFurther Management
0 to <12 years30 IU/kgInfuse at first sign of bleeding. Repeat at intervals of 24 hours until the bleed stops
≥12 years25 IU/kg

Doctor icon For perioperative management

AgeInitial DoseFurther Management
0 to <12 yearsUse a factor of 0.6 to calculate the required dose
Pre-surgery: raise plasma factor X levels to 70-90 IU/dL
Post-surgery: maintain plasma factor X levels at ≥50 IU/dL until the patient is no longer at risk of bleeding due to surgery
Dose (IU) = body weight (kg) x desired factor X rise* (IU/dL or % of normal) x 0.6
≥12 yearsUse a factor of 0.5 to calculate the required dose
Pre-surgery: raise plasma factor X levels to 70-90 IU/dL
Post-surgery: maintain plasma factor X levels at ≥50 IU/dL until the patient is no longer at risk of bleeding due to surgery
Dose (IU) = body weight (kg) x desired factor X rise* (IU/dL or % of normal) x 0.5

*The desired factor X rise is the difference between the patient’s plasma factor X level and the maximum desired level.

Indications and Usage for COAGADEX

COAGADEX, a plasma-derived blood coagulation factor X concentrate, is indicated in adults and children with hereditary factor X deficiency for:

  • Routine prophylaxis to reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes
  • On-demand treatment and control of bleeding episodes
  • Perioperative management of bleeding in patients with mild, moderate and severe hereditary factor X deficiency

Contraindication for COAGADEX

COAGADEX is contraindicated in patients who have had life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions to COAGADEX.

Important Safety Information for COAGADEX

Allergic type hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, are possible with COAGADEX. If symptoms occur, patients should discontinue use of the product immediately, contact their physician, and administer appropriate treatment.

The formation of neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) to factor X is a possible complication in the management of individuals with factor X deficiency. Carefully monitor patients taking COAGADEX for the development of inhibitors by appropriate clinical observations and laboratory tests.

COAGADEX is made from human plasma and may contain infectious agents, e.g. viruses, the variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) agent and, theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent. No cases of transmission of viral diseases, vCJD or CJD, have been associated with the use of COAGADEX.

In clinical studies, the most common adverse reactions (frequency ≥5% of subjects) with COAGADEX were infusion site erythema, infusion site pain, fatigue and back pain.
