Why BeneFIX?
The answer is easy — because you may want a product that’s convenient, effective, and has proven viral safety. Talk to your doctor about which Factor IX product may be right for you.
BeneFIX works
BeneFIX has proven viral safety and was proven effective in several important clinical trials. In some studies, BeneFIX was tested for its ability to bleeds, and in others, for its ability to bleeds once they started. The results add up to treatment that may work for you.
BeneFIX prevents bleeds
Clinical trials showed that BeneFIX prevented bleeds in both previously treated and previously untreated patients:
- In previously untreated patients: 27 of 32 patients experienced no spontaneous bleeding (bleeding not caused by injury) within 48 hours of infusion with BeneFIX
- In previously treated patients: 65% of patients (11 of 17) had no spontaneous bleeding while on a preventive regimen with BeneFIX
BeneFIX controls bleeds
Important studies also examined how BeneFIX worked in patients with spontaneous bleeding or bleeding caused by injury. In a study of 1,796 bleeding episodes in 55 previously treated patients with severe or moderate hemophilia B:
- All bleeds were controlled
- 9 out of 10 responses were rated “excellent” or “good”
- Only 1 infusion was needed in most cases (81% of bleeds were controlled with only 1 infusion of BeneFIX)
BeneFIX offers peace of mind for patients
undergoing surgery
Ninety-seven percent (97%) of physicians and patients rated BeneFIX “excellent” or “good” for controlling bleeds both during and after surgery.
In 28 patients undergoing 36 surgeries:
- All bleeds were controlled
- No spontaneous bleeding was reported after surgery
