Short term efficacy of recombinant porcine factor VIII in patients with factor VIII inhibitors.

rpFVIII was safe and initially effective in all patients. However, its use is associated with development of an inhibitor to rpFVIII, decreasing its efficacy and duration of effect. Further, rpFVIII use may lead to an increase in patient anti-human FVIII inhibitor titres. A larger study is necessary to appropriately assess the incidence of these outcomes.
