Summary for Patent: 6,013,620
Title: Pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of blood coagulation diseases, methods for the production thereof and its use
Abstract:The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of patients with blood coagulation diseases which are caused by coagulation factor deficiency and/or inhibitors of coagulation factors, whereby the composition as a FEIB-activity and is characterized in that it has Factor VIIa and at least one further active ingredient and the activity of at least 10 Factor VIIa units per unit FEIBA. Additionally, the invention comprises a method for the production of the pharmaceutical preparation and its use.

Assignee: Baxter Aktiengesellschaft (Vienna, AT)
Application Number:08/926,845
Patent Claims:1. A method for producing a composition having a Factor VIII Inhibitor Bypassing Activity (FEIBA) of at least 5 U/ml and a Factor VIIa activity of at least 10 units FEIBA, comprising:

contacting a Factor VII-containing fraction with an anion exchanger, wherein the Factor VII is at least partially activated,

isolating a fraction containing activated Factor VII, wherein the fraction has FEIBA, and

producing from said isolated fraction a composition having a Factor VIII Inhibitor Bypassing Activity (FEIBA) of at least 5 U/ml and a Factor VIIa activity of at least 10 units FEIBA.

2. A method according to claim 1, wherein the anion exchanger comprises quaternary ammonium groups.

3. A method according to claim 2, wherein the anion exchanger comprises an anion exchange moiety selected from the group consisting of quaternary aminoethyl, trimethylaminoethyl and quaternary ammonium.

4. A method according to claim 1, wherein Factor VIIa is isolated by hydrophobic chromatography.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the composition has an activity of 10 to 100 Factor VIIa units per unit FEIBA.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the composition has an activity of 10 to 20 Factor VIIa units per unit FEIBA.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the composition has an activity of 10 to 15 Factor VIIa units per unit FEIBA.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the composition further comprises a blood protein selected from the group consisting of Factor II, Factor IX, Factor IXa, Factor X and Factor Xa, wherein the blood protein is present in a range of 0.5 to 2 units per unit FEIBA.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein the blood protein is present in a range of 0.5 to 1.5 units per unit FEIBA.

10. The method according to claim 8, further comprising adding a blood protein selected from the group consisting of Factor II, Factor IX, Factor IXa, Factor X and Factor Xa, such that the blood protein is present in the composition in a range of 0.5 to 2 units per unit FEIBA.

11. The method according to claim 10, wherein the blood protein is present in a range of 0.5 to 1.5 units per unit FEIBA.

12. A method according to claim 1, wherein the composition is a pharmaceutical composition.

13. A method for producing a composition having a Factor VIII Inhibitor Bypassing Activity (FEIBA) of at least 5 U/ml and a Factor VIIa activity of at least 10 units per unit FEIBA, comprising:

combining a Factor VII-containing fraction, wherein the Factor VII is at least partially activated, with coagulation Factors II, IX and X, and

obtaining a composition having a Factor VIII Inhibitor Bypassing Activity (FEIBA) of at least 5 U/ml and a Factor VIIa activity of at least 10 units FEIBA.

14. A method according to claim 13, further comprising treating the coagulation Factors to inactivate infectious agents.

15. A method according to claim 14, wherein the treating occurs after combining.

16. A method according to claim 14, wherein the treating occurs before combining.

17. A method according to claim 14, wherein the treating employs heat.

18. A method according to claim 17, wherein the coagulation Factors are in a solid state.

19. A method according to claim 17, wherein the heat treatment occurs in the absence of albumin.

20. A method according to claim 13, wherein Factor VII is isolated using anion exchange chromatography, thereby at least partially activating the Factor VII.

21. A method according to claim 13, wherein Factor IX and Factor X are isolated using anion exchange chromatography, thereby at least partially activating Factor IX and Factor X.

22. The method according to claim 13, wherein the composition has an activity of 10 to 100 Factor VIIa units per unit FEIBA.

23. The method according to claim 22, wherein the composition has an activity of 10 to 20 Factor VIIa units per unit FEIBA.

24. The method according to claim 23, wherein the composition has an activity of 10 to 15 Factor VIIa units per unit FEIBA.

25. A method according to claim 13, wherein the composition is a pharmaceutical composition.
