Data presented by CSL Behring today at the 2012 Thrombosis and Hemostasis Summit of North America (THSNA) showed that the safety profile of human 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) is consistent with the current standard of treatment in patients receiving vitamin K antagonist therapy (i.e., warfarin) for acute bleeding or prior to emergency surgery. The results are from the first large-scale controlled clinical trials comparing a 4-factor PCC with fresh frozen plasma, the current standard of treatment in the United States.

04 May 2012 CSL Behring Data Shows 4-Factor Prothrombin Complex Concentrate Is As Effective and a More Rapid Treatment for Vitamin K Antagonist Reversal Than Current Standard of Care

Currently in the United States, fresh frozen plasma is the standard treatment for warfarin reversal. The data are from the first and largest randomized clinical study to demonstrate the non-inferiority of 4-factor PCC to plasma through clinical endpoints and to show superiority through bioanalytical endpoints.

18 April 2012 HealthyWomen Asks: Do You Know the Signs and Symptoms of Von Willebrand Disease (VWD)?
Although von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common hereditary bleeding disorder in the United States, affecting up to 1 percent of the population, it is often misdiagnosed or under-diagnosed in women. HealthyWomen, the nation's leading nonprofit health information source for women, has developed new educational materials they hope will shine a light on a disorder that, when undiagnosed and untreated, can severely impact the quality of life for women.
