A review of the pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safety of high-purity factor X for the prophylactic treatment of hereditary factor X deficiency.

pdFX was well tolerated in clinical studies, with no new safety signals identified during routine prophylactic use. Based on current evidence, it is recommended that routine prophylaxis with pdFX be initiated at 25 IU/kg twice weekly in adults/adolescents ≥12 years of age, and at a dosage of 40 IU/kg twice weekly in children <12 years of age. Thereafter, FX levels should be closely monitored, and dosages should be adjusted according to clinical response and to maintain trough levels ≥5 IU/dl.
