Humate-P

Categories: Prescription Medication

Description:

Humate-P is a plasma-derived concentrate used to treat von Willebrand disease (VWD), especially in patients who do not respond to desmopressin or have severe forms of the disease. It contains both von Willebrand factor (VWF) and factor VIII (FVIII), with a relatively high VWF:FVIII ratio (~2.4:1), making it effective for raising VWF levels without causing excessive FVIII accumulation.

Humate-P is given by intravenous infusion, typically during bleeding episodes, before surgery, or as prophylaxis in certain cases. Its higher VWF content makes it particularly useful for surgical procedures or major bleeding in patients with VWD.

Humate-P is a key intravenous treatment for von Willebrand disease, used when higher VWF levels are needed. It remains essential for major bleeding or surgery, with subcutaneous options in development to improve convenience.

Humate-P should be given to patients with VWD who are unresponsive to desmopressin, those with severe types like type 2B or type 3, or in situations requiring surgical preparation, treatment of active bleeding, or trauma. It is also appropriate for prophylaxis in selected high-risk patients or during procedures where bleeding risk is significant.
